July 13, Day 1
Identity, Leadership Development: Perspectives of the Role Identity plays in the World of Work
Facilitator Dr. Rudy Jamison Jr.
8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
The Identity Leadership Development experience is designed to have participants interrogate and reimagine the role identity plays within leadership development, especially as it relates to the world of work. We will individually reflect, collectively meaning-make, and share best perspectives that center identity in how we are developed as leaders. The day will include: empirically examined evidence of socio-cultural determinants that influence leadership and leadership development, participatory research (done prior to the experience) that illustrates share leadership perspectives, the examination of conceptual constructs concerning career mobility, acquiring connoisseurship, the construction of our own developmental networks, and an exploration of what advocacy means in this thing we call leadership development.
Location: Jessie Dupont Center
July 14, Day 2
Building a Strong Diverse team: Selection, Hiring, and Onboarding. Eliminating bias in interview processes
Facilitator Solona Hollis from TNTP
8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
A growing body of research shows that a more diverse teacher workforce leads to better outcomes for all students— especially students of color. Specifically, research has found that students of color who have teachers of color are more likely to be enrolled in gifted programs, less likely to be suspended or drop out, more likely to aspire to attend a four-year college, and more likely to achieve at higher levels. Yet, while nearly half of American public school students are students of color, approximately 80 percent of teachers are white. This session will introduce participants TNTP’s research on The Opportunity Myth, explore our identities, and the intersection between bias, student learning, and strong talent management. Participants will learn the skills to developing a strong, diverse teaching staff.
Location: Jessie Dupont Center
