Black Minds Matter: Addressing Disproportionate Suspensions of Black Children and Youth
In recent years, there has been increasing attention and educational policy efforts designed to address the disproportionate suspensions of Black children and youth. Using data from California public schools, the presenters will highlight persistent disparities in the application of exclusionary discipline. A reactor panel will then provide insights on how schools and educational leaders support ongoing efforts for change.
Sponsored by: CORA (Center for Organizational Responsibility and Advancement) is founded in response to President Obama’s call to improve the lives of boys and men of color facing educational disparities. We are a professional educational organization committed to training faculty, staff, and administrators to enhance their skills to better serve historically underrepresented and underserved students. We provide professional development training for all educators to advance their teaching skills and enhance the learning experience of boys and college men of color with an explicit focus on racial equity in education. https://coralearning.org/about/
Please join on Thursday February 18th from 3:00-5:00 pm for the upcoming Humanizing Virtual Learning meeting. At this meeting we will dive into the essential concepts for the Humanizing Virtual Learning Guide. Please remember, our lens is focused on equity and access, and the work of JSPAC supports all students, emphasizing students in special populations (www.JSPAC.org).
The meeting is booked for two hours. Please join for any portion of the meeting you can make. We appreciate your contributions.

What should education look like post-COVID? How do we get there?
Many are looking forward to a time when we can go back to “normal” in education; however, that “normal” wasn’t working for too many of our children, youth, families and communities. While we await the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine, we have an opportunity to imagine what a post-COVID education system can and should look like.
Join us for a series of live, online conversations with nationally recognized speakers and emerging voices who will share their visions for post-COVID education through an emancipatory lens and to identify steps to enact their visions.
