“When students hear others echo ideas and feelings they themselves have been afraid to express, they realize that underneath their apparent differences, there is far more that unites than divides them.”
Join us for iChange Collaborative’s 3-day summer intensive!
In lieu of recent events, we have narrowed our focus from diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in general to focus our workshops on race. Racial equity is an urgent need in students, and we believe this focus will serve other marginalized groups.
Racial identity impacts teaching and learning in profound ways.
The Transformational Inquiry Model of identity exploration frames a method you can use with students to explore their identities, share their stories and insights with peers, learn more through reading and research, and ultimately take personal and collaborative action to effect social change in their communities.
The benefits of strong student identities earned through the process of social identity exploration are well-documented and include higher self-esteem and confidence, better psychological health, increased engagement in school, academic achievement, and capacity for ethical leadership.
