Dismantling Systemic Racism, sponsored by the State Education Resource Center (SERC) in collaboration with the SERC Foundation, focuses on ways to support, promote, and develop racial equity in education.
The full-day conference supports educators, families, and community leaders who seek to confront racist structures and practices to better serve Connecticut’s students and their families, through advocacy and the development, implementation, and sustainability of innovative, culturally relevant programming. In order to eliminate racially disparate outcomes, the focus is on all students, but particularly Black and Brown students, as well as multilingual students and students with disabilities.

Restorative Practices Journey welcomes you to share with us in a presentation followed by a discussion on race-based stress and trauma. We will also address our own journeys in becoming aware of our biases and how to help lead others on this journey.
Black identifying moms, this one is for you. Let’s talk about the importance of self care, navigating the transitions from infancy to adulthood, and anything else that’s important to you.
