Pursuing Social and Emotional Development through a Racial Equity Lens: 5 Strategies for System Leaders to Take Action
Aspen Institute
To support proactive leadership, the Aspen Institute Education & Society Program proposes five potential strategies system leaders can use to implement the ideas proposed in the "Call to Action" and, ultimately, to pursue social, emotional, and academic development (SEAD) through a racial equity lens. The strategies discussed in this paper include: (1) Sponsor a text-based discussion with the system leadership team; (2) Organize and engage in discussions with students, families, caregivers, and community members to hear how they are experiencing these issues in school, using the "Call to Action" as a framework; (3) Host a working session with the board of education and use the "Call to Action" to update policies; (4) Utilize a cross-disciplinary team to audit existing practices and programs with respect to race and SEAD using the "Call to Action" as a framework; and (5) Share the "Call to Action" with principals and school leadership teams to use in professional learning communities and/or text-based discussions at the school level.
