Great Leaders are champions for Equity. Through this program, participants from Thames Valley will learn about leadership with a specific focus on inclusion, anti-racism and anti-oppression. Participants will explore and learn about how privilege, power and oppression result in inequitable outcomes for marginalized students, staff and communities. Structures that perpetuate the marginalization of students, staff and community will be critically analyzed. Leaders will learn strategies to engage all voices through an equity lens with the goal of implementing concrete actions to interrupt systemic barriers and support the use of culturally relevant approaches and resources.
