Why did you decide to work in an ‘urban’* school?

*We are defining urban school as a school that serves a population that has predominately African

American and Latino students as well as a large percent of students living in or near poverty.

What are some practices you (we) have that honor your teaching in

an urban school by combating, disrupting and undoing racism?

In addition to discussing, please write them on the yellow index card.

We are a small 6-12th grade college preparatory school dedicated to the belief that all students can, must and will learn and succeed academically. We set high standards for each of our students and help them meet these standards by providing personal attention, a strong sense of community, high quality instruction and engaging and innovative learning experiences inside and outside of the classroom. Students, staff, families and community members see themselves as part of a team whose main goal is the success of every individual student in our diverse learning community. We have a school wide commitment to promoting social justice and combating (disrupting, undoing) racism, sexism, homophobia, classism and any other form of discrimination. The goal of the school is to create a community of highly skilled students, lifetime learners, critical thinkers and socially responsible citizens who, upon graduation, will be prepared to succeed in college and beyond.
