Description: Just Communities’ Institute for Equity in Education (IEE) is a comprehensive program designed to eliminate the educational achievement gap and other forms of educational disparities in our schools. The Institute is a 4.5-day residential workshop for educators in California’s Central Coast. IEE helps teachers, counselors, administrators, parents, board members, and other school and district staff increase their understanding of how race, socio-economic class, and individual and institutional bias affect teaching and learning. IEE enables participants to identify constructive strategies for addressing institutional racism, educational inequality, and achievement gaps. IEE also provides the skills, tools, and resources educators need to promote equitable and inclusive schools where all students can learn and achieve at the highest possible levels.
