Join us in AW 210 at 6pm on February 19th. This conversation brings together teacher leaders, community leaders, Indigenous leaders (Lummi Nation), student leaders, and school administrators to reimagine what transformative educational leadership can look like when it is rooted in justice, humanity, and collective responsibility. Dr. Cherry-Paul will explore what it means to lead for liberation in the current educational moment—one marked by intensifying attacks on racial equity work, widening opportunity gaps, and community demands for schools that affirm and protect all students. Grounded in her long-standing commitments to antiracist pedagogy, literacy, and community-engaged practice, she will offer frameworks, tools, and examples of leadership that disrupts inequitable systems while cultivating spaces where students, families, and educators thrive.
