Effective Governance Practices with an Equity Lens sponsored by the Yolo County School Boards Association (YCSBA) 

This interactive virtual session focuses on how governance teams can serve students through an equity lens.  During this session, participants will reflect on the history of public education, develop a deeper understanding of the concept of educational equity, and reflect on their role in interrupting equity gaps that exist in the data.  You will review the possibility of developing or evolving equity driven policies and understand ways to measure their impact in addressing equity gaps.  The session will support the strategic development of an equity impact plan for cohesive and sustainable equity leadership in the district.
