The school to prison pipeline is one of the most challenging issues faced by education systems across the country. Many of our current practices, policies, and systems create inequities that disproportionately impact students of color, causing them to come in contact with the criminal justice system at far higher rates than their white peers. It is possible to disrupt this pattern of inequity by becoming Anti-bias, Anti-racist (ABAR) educators who confront their own biases and work to eliminate racism in the education system.
The Together to Break the Pipeline Series was created so that educational stakeholders from across the St. Louis area can gather to do our part to break the school-to-prison pipeline. We believe in the power of us all to affect change.
We meet regularly to learn, plan and brainstorm approaches and solutions.
Our next event is on Sunday, March 8th from 1-4 p.m. Click on the graphic below to RSVP - it's FREE!

We are so excited that Dr. Shenita Mayes will be leading this workshop! In this three hour session, participants will learn what it takes to be an ABAR educator and how we can disrupt racist patterns and practices in our schools every single day. We will work through scenarios in small groups and engage with panelists who are current education professionals and have embedded this work into their daily practice. |
