Keynote Presentation:

Getting Past Stuck: Organizing Schools to Eliminate Racism
Author and educator Dr. Decoteau J. Irby’s keynote will provide an overview into the dynamic process of working to achieve racial equity in schools. The keynote draws insights from his book Stuck Improving: Racial Equity and School Leadership (Harvard Education Press), which offers an in-depth accounting of school-improvement practices and inquiry-based leadership strategies that create the conditions for educators to deliver Black and Brown school-aged students affirming school experiences and improved learning outcomes. At the end of the presentation, participants will understand: What it means to have the capacity for racial equity improvement, the role leadership and professional learning plays in strengthening a school’s capacity for racial equity improvement, and how to evaluate if and to what extent racial equity progress is happening in a school.​
