Bay Section is pleased to present Dora and Nancy Dome
Dora has practiced Education Law for over 19 years, primarily in the areas of student issues and special education. She currently provides legal representation to school districts on student issues, and has renewed her emphasis on developing and conducting professional development trainings focusing on Bullying, Equity and Legal Compliance in a proactive effort to build staff capacity to address the changing needs of their students.
Dora’s Equity trainings examine Diversity and equity issues facing school districts such as examining stereotypes that impact attitudes and behavior of staff and students, identifying the harmful effects of stereotypes within the school setting, and coaching staff to develop skills to identify, interrupt and prevent discriminatory behavior.
Dora and Nancy are friends to CASCWA presenting workshops and conferences wherever and whenever they are asked.
The December 11th workshop will be another “hands on” experience. Please bring your Laptops and Ipads..
“ 21st Century Approach to Addressing Equity In Schools”
Exclusionary language is embedded in the English language and undermines the ability of schools to educate students with diverse cultural backgrounds. By exclusionary language we mean language and messages that describe someone as not being something-“non-white- and results in the excluded listener feeling “othered,” “less than,” or “inadequate”. In this training,participants will discuss the forms of exclusionary language and messages that are prevalent in educational settings, and discuss appropriate personal and professional responses to its use, while simultaneously utilizing educational technology to understand the effectiveness of online learning to engage in difficult conversations.
