We offered @CCAboutRace Beyond Diversity (2-Day) for our @PPSnews staff this week! During the sessions we offer a library for participants to peruse to consider adding to their personal library. @ibramxk @GholdyM @LeonFordSpeaks @DiangeloClub @Ready4rigor
What an amazing day in @PPSnews! Fantastic financial experts spoke to @PghPerryHS students about their career journeys and aspirations. Students were inspired by quotes like "If not you, then who?". Big thanks to the panel and @pgh_promise.
2nd Time Around! If you (or someone in your network) can provide @PPSnews with Curriculum and/or Instructional Materials expertise, respond to our RFP by December 22. #EthnicStudies pghschools.org/site/handlers/…
During November, check out our curated learning resources for Native American Heritage Month pghschools.org/nativeamerican… @PPSnews
How cool is to shadow the @PPSnews Superintendent Dr. @waynenwalters for the day? One of our Pittsburgh Greenfield’s student finds out. It was an award he earned for reading the most books last summer. And of course, he received his very own bow tie.
Engaging our @PPSnews Security and Safety team in a daylong #ImplicitBias training with the goal of starting an awareness to reduce discipline referrals riddled in bias.
