Summer Leadership Institute | July 29 - August 1

Summer Leadership Institute (SLI) is our opportunity to come together to recommit to our core beliefs and values, engage in shared professional learning, and prepare for a successful launch of the 2019-2020 school year. Last year, SLI offered opportunities to reflect on our individual identities and mindsets, our policies, and our practices in order to further a culture of equity and excellence for our students.    
 
This year’s SLI will continue this work. While there are many ways DCPS can and must address racialized gaps, this year’s SLI will channel our collective efforts to focus on the day-to-day experience of our students by foregrounding student agency and voice. Together we will anchor our work in brain-based research, confront the presence of systemic inequities, and learn about intentional ways to maximize student ownership and expression within each of the content areas. 
 
We hope this week will offer opportunities for learning, reflection, and action-planning as we work together to promote joyful and productive learning environments and elevate the voices of all of our students, particularly those furthest from opportunity.
