Institute Description
For nearly three decades, the National Equity Project equipped educators and leaders with the tools and strategies needed to drive meaningful change through our Leading For Equity™ (LFE) Institutes. Participants engage in deep reflection, dialogue, and planning, guided by expert facilitators. The program is designed to strengthen relationships, build new alliances across differences, and enhance collaborative efforts toward achieving equity goals.
This immersive two-day, in-person Institute provides individuals and teams with the tools, strategies, and support needed to effectively address educational inequities and create lasting impact in their schools and communities.
Key focuses of the Institute include:
- Examining the historical context and impact of racism and bias on institutional policies and practices
- Identifying individual and organizational barriers to successful change initiatives
- Emphasizing the role of emotional intelligence and trust in leading equity efforts
- Developing concrete skills for navigating challenges and driving progress toward equity objectives
Participants gain access to research-based protocols, tools, and resources that support equity-focused leadership and team development. The Institute's experiential approach, grounded in the National Equity Project’s Leading for Equity Framework, fosters leadership growth from the inside out, empowering attendees to lead with increased agency, purpose, and efficacy.
Whether attending as an individual or part of a team, the Leading for Equity Institute offers a transformative opportunity to deepen commitment, strengthen relationships, and develop effective strategies for advancing educational equity.
Join us at the Leading For Equity™ Institute to experience a learning community dedicated to creating lasting change in education.
