The Inclusion Institute for Educators is designed to increase understanding of oppression (system of advantage based on group identity) and how it impacts educational institutions. It also explores how oppression impacts individuals and society. Participants work to improve their skills in facilitating both general and specific discussions around issues of oppression. The participants examine their own attitudes and behaviors in relation to oppression and how it affects educational institutions. They develop a network of allies in the educational community that are concerned with, and committed to, institutional change that is directly connected to educational institutions and systems. IIE is more of a personal growth experience than traditional diversity training. This “depth-awareness” training includes theory and oppression concepts, small and large discussion groups, and experiential learning modules on power and privilege. Although we will explore many forms of oppression, IIE's focus is on racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, ageism, their intersections, and impact on educational institutions. The Institute curriculum is specifically structured and designed for superintendents, assistant superintendents, administrators, teachers, board members, and parent/guardians associated with the education sector who want to deepen their understanding, increase their knowledge and sharpen their insights in addressing all forms of oppression, educational equity issues, and institutional change. Those who have previously attended the Dismantling Racism Institute for Educators are also eligible to attend. Supintendents who can speak about the program and its value for school districts include Chris Wright from Hazelwood and Bob Malito from Parkway. An in-depth description: A Powerful Training Process
