Thank you for your interest in joining Cohort 2 of the Safe and Supportive Learning Environments (SSLE) Deep Dive Virtual Professional Learning Series: Talking About Race as Healing Practice, taking place in November-December 2023.

A six-part series, Talking About Race as Healing Practice takes educators and education leaders on a deep dive into racial literacy and its role in safe and supportive learning environments. Part of what can stand in the way of deepening racial literacy skills is the belief that conversations about race are only “difficult” or “challenging.” This series invites participants to see these encounters instead as key elements of safe and supportive learning environments, even spaces of healing. Participants work closely with their peers and SSLE facilitators in a collaborative learning community to develop the mindsets, knowledge, and capacity to engage with race from a mindful rather than reactive space in their work within schools, districts, and agencies.

For more detailed information about Cohort 2, including key dates and selection criteria, please visit the CCSC SSLE Deep Dives webpage. For questions about this form or the CCSC SSLE Deep Dives, contact us at schoolclimate@wested.org.
