This two-day professional development, useful to a broad
range of educators, was designed with Enid Lee, a leader in multicultural and
anti-racist education. It focuses on a framework for teaching for equitable
outcomes and for mentoring beginning teachers from an equity perspective within
the context of the Wisconsin Teacher Standards.
Inequities regarding race, language, and culture in the classroom and

uncover and address inequities in pedagogy, content, and climate in order to
teach all students successfully.
