Coalition for Leading Anti-Racist Schools

The Coalition for Leading Anti-Racist Schools utilizes job-embedded coaching to support participants engaging in an anti-racist cycle of inquiry and action. The goal is to build and develop the capacity of leaders so they may, in turn, build the capacity of those with whom they work to lead for racial justice.

Throughout this yearlong process, participants develop a Racial Justice Action Plan focused on a problem of practice specific to race from their professional context. Participants workshop their problems with facilitators, peers, and colleagues, strategically and intentionally moving from individual analysis of racial inequities toward systemic and institutional changes that address racism.
