Grounded in Theory of Action 1
We believe that every student deserves a positive learning environment in which their diversity is valued and contributes to their successful academic and social outcomes.
Guided by the Social Justice Standards
This framework for anti-bias education is comprised of anchor standards and age-appropriate learning outcomes arranged into 4 domains. It provides a helpful anchor for equitable, just, and safe schools within Region 15. The areas of identity, diversity, justice and action are enduring across the lifespan and are applicable to adult learning as well as PreK-12 learning.
Because this is the Humbling Reality of Being in Education
We understand that we need to equip our students, families, and staff with tools to foster positive identity, to experience joy in and true appreciation of others’ complex social identities and diversity, to cultivate cultural competency, and to develop the knowledge, skills, and courage needed to respond impactfully to social injustice.
