#10ForSRI
Support educators like you to achieve equity and excellence for all students!
We invite our community of learners to celebrate the holiday season by giving back to an organization whose mission is driven by creating change. As we continue to celebrate ten years of challenging educators around the country to dive deep into the issues of equity to remove barriers to learning for all children, we ask that everyone in our community gives $10. Please visit our website to participate in the holiday spirit by making a gift.
Challenge: $25,000
Current: $1,500
There is a growing number of educators in public schools who need to engage in this work to give students the education they deserve. By giving to SRI, you are giving to your colleagues, and more important you are giving to students. Make a difference and give today – give #10ForSRI!
We can do this together!
Upcoming Professional Development Opportunities from SRI
Introduction to SRI Reflective Learning Communities
Houston, TX
January 23-24, 2020
This two-day institute is geared to educators new to the work of SRI and prepares educators to be full participants in collaborative learning teams, professional learning communities, or other professional communities of practice. We will work together to create a reflective learning community, learning the concepts, habits, tools, and skills that lead to more reflective practice and increase student achievement.
Facilitating Virtual Learning Communities Webinar
January 27, February 3, 10, 17, 2020
Participants in these sessions will engage in a variety of SRI protocols and practices to explore how SRI critical friendship can foster and sustain transformational learning communities in a virtual space. Ample time will be reserved to debrief the virtual experience, examine implications for our work, and develop next steps in using virtual transformational learning communities to engage more teachers and students in SRI’s Mission and Guiding Principles. Participants will need a web-enabled device (desktop or laptop with camera preferred) to use during these sessions.

Equity First Institute – Tier 2
Burlington, VT
May 14-15, 2020
This two-day institute deepens the “Who am I?” identity work from the Personal Awareness Institute by exploring how our identities influence the way we walk in, interact with others and make sense of the world. As a reflective learning group, we address several key questions: What do we mean by power and privilege? Do we all have some level of privilege? How can I identify unintended harm I’ve created in the past due to my privilege, and determine what I would do differently to make sure that I don’t make those mistakes again?
