Action Steps for Programs and the Field Addressing Racial Equity (April 27, 2021)

In this webinar, we offer various steps that programs and the field can take to move towards equity in adult education. We will explore how you can use orientation and other program-wide policies and practices, along with hiring and staffing policies, that help you address equity. We will also investigate how we can advocate for changes in our field that will help reduce racial inequity.

Note: Carmine Stewart, President and CEO of Aspire Consulting and Educational Services, and Vice President of Programming at Seeds of Literacy in Cleveland, Ohio, will co-present this webinar.

This three-part series of webinars will examine the way implicit racial bias shows up in adult education and how it creates inequity for learners. First, we will look at implicit bias — what it is and how we can both face it and work constructively to change it. Second, we will share classroom materials and strategies that will both teach about equity in the context of basic skills and make your classroom more inclusive and relevant to all. In our third and final webinar, we will showcase programs that have made changes to make racial equity a key part of its program practices.

Cynthia Peters, editor of The Change Agent, will lead the webinar series.
