Pursuing Equity
NCSI is pleased to announce the launch of a new Thought Leader Conversation (TLC) Series: “Pursuing Equity for Black Students in K-12 Education: Exploring the Intersection of Race and Disability”.
What is this TLC Series?*
- This is a free virtual series of engaging conversations with experts, focusing on questions related to the intersection of race and disability in special education and in education more broadly, to explore ways that systems can actively improve conditions and outcomes for Black students.
- The series is aimed at SEA staff (within special education and beyond). NCSI also welcomes all interested stakeholders, including other state agency staff, representatives of parent and family organizations, LEA staff, state-level or national technical assistance or professional development providers, representatives from institutions of higher education, and other education stakeholders.
- Conversations are organized around NCSI’s four priority systems foundations: data literacy, stakeholder and family engagement, research informed practice, and systems coherence.
- *NCSI TLC Pursuing Equitable Outcomes One Page Information Sheet: A one-pager that includes more details about the series and about our experts, partners, and thought leaders.
