WHITE ADMINISTRATORS INSTITUTE
Independent school leaders have been called upon to transform their diversity, equity, and inclusion work with more effective and authentic practices. As white school leaders of independent schools continue to commit to serving the needs of their whole student body and faculty, their own cultural competence and leadership skills need to evolve with their schools. This experience welcomes self-identified white administrators who hold any supervisory role for an exploration of equity practice, leadership training, and learning together. Topics will include understanding racial identity, investigating institutional culture, developing collaborative leadership, and navigating the needs of multiple constituencies. The program is specifically designed to help participants develop the tools they need to be effective change agents within their schools.
