Purpose
As part of Washtenaw ISD's larger commitment to Equity, Inclusion & Social Justice, we have been developing work around race, culture and diversity over several years. Beginning with the Understanding Race Project in 2013, our work continued with the founding of the "Culture & Diversity Task Force" in the 2014-15 school year. That Task Force aimed to develop educator learning, culturally responsive curriculum, and inclusive school culture.
As the work continues in 2016-17, we have continued existing supports, like the Diversity Forum, SEED (Students Educating Each other about Diversity) project, as well as expanded our professional development options. Below are resources and options available to our supported districts, educators and students. The following graphic helps to explain how the evolving supports work together.
