Spotlight on Building-Based Equity Initiatives in February, Black History Month

Working alongside the District Equity Team, our six Mamaroneck schools share in their collective commitment to equity, inclusion and anti-racist initiatives. During this month of February, Black History Month, we celebrate and honor African American contributions to the nation and our community and put the "Spotlight on Equity", providing some examples of work begin done this school year with faculty and students across all of our schools. While each school has injected its own unique style, focus remains on three priority areas:

• Professional Learning (What are staff members doing to unpack their own social identities and enhance their equity practices? In addition to faculty meetings devoted to racial equity work and each school having its own equity team, professional learning across the schools has been made possible by the set-up of Google Classrooms containing relevant and pertinent time-sensitive resources, including book titles, podcasts, videos, articles, and suggested websites)

   

• Curricular (What anti-racist student learning initiatives are being implemented this school year in social studies? In English?)
  
  
• Culture/Student Engagement (How is the school environment set up to foster equity for all students?)
