What Does It Mean To Be An Ally? with Rosalind Wiseman

What Does It Mean To Be An Ally? with Rosalind Wiseman

This presentation will give parents increased knowledge and skills to support Aspen Academy’s efforts to promote diversity and equity in its community. We will cover the following topics:

• How to have hard conversations about race and privilege with your children
• How to support anti-racist work when you can’t relate to people of color’s experience or you have little education on having these conversations
• Knowing the difference between a curious question and a question that reinforces bias and discrimination.
• Increasing parents skills to teach their children to contribute to a culture of dignity in the school.

While this topic for many can be uncomfortable, ideally it is also an opportunity for learning and strengthening relationships. It is efforts like these that build the school’s capacity to be a place of dignity for students, parents, staff, and faculty.
