  • Commit to develop a working knowledge of internalized racism and how and why educated, intelligent and dynamic BIPOC may produce a fear response in both white and other BIPOC peoples and how to respond and support others if/when this phenomenon occurs.
  • Work to ensure students, staff and families of all identity groups are full participants in decisions that shape the school or department.
  • Commit to working with families as equals, co-educators, learners and decision makers.
