Training and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
A critical step in disrupting the school to prison pipeline is to educate our teachers on the impact of implicit bias in education and to do so with compassion and curiosity. We have trained over 150 Portland Public School teachers on the impact of implicit bias and in a state with only 10% teachers of color, awareness is critical. We also conduct Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for the private and public sector using curiosity and compassion as our guide.
“Unity, not uniformity, must be our aim. We attain unity only through variety. Differences must be integrated, not annihilated, not absorbed.”
