Annual SRI Facilitator Retreat

We’re excited to announce that we’ve built our organizational capacity to offer the annual SRI Facilitator Retreat in four different locations across the country this year. In response to your feedback, we’re designing an agenda to meet the professional development needs of facilitators who:

  • work to develop internal capacity for change in schools and districts, across and among cities, states and regions, and internationally;
  • facilitate adult learning that extends beyond the introduction of SRI tools and processes to encompass the intentional and sustained achievement of SRI’s mission;
  • want to learn more about creating conditions for engaging conversations about inequity, examining assumptions and beliefs, and identifying and interrupting systemic barriers to equity in schools;
  • coach, teach, and facilitate the work of SRI, and who seek opportunities for reflective discourse with others engaged in similar work.

If you’re an SRI facilitator, we encourage you to join one of these retreats and stay connected to our work and continue to grow in your fierce commitment to educational equity and excellence.
