SUMMARY:Educator Summer Institute
DESCRIPTION:The Educator Summer Institute is a three day workshop offering educators an opportunity to build upon their historical knowledge of the systemic disparities that shape education today.  \n\nAttendees will walk away with a plan to address a systemic racial equity issue within their own school\, district\, or organization.  Participating K-12 teachers will earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). It is strongly recommended that teams of at least three from each school/organization attend\, but this is not a requirement.
