  *   Cultural Crossroads: Exploring the important intersection of summer program training & design with the critical need to address race, equity, and inclusion.
Date: Wednesday, April 28, 2021, 2pm ET/11am PT
Summer and extended learning programs play an important role in providing a safe space for student learning and exploration, especially for BIPOC students. This starts with a staff that is well-equipped with the social and emotional intelligence to support, lead and navigate this work. This webinar examines how organizations can best equip summer program staff with tools & training on race, equity and inclusion in order to meet student needs and maximize program impact this summer. Breakthrough Collaborative has assembled a Race Equity Diversity & Inclusion (REDI) Workgroup of program leaders, staff, former teaching fellows and instructional coaches to do just that.
