Equity in Practice: Professional Learning Series
Following a successful inaugural year, Equity in Practice returns for its second year with an expanded series of six standalone, in-person workshops offered throughout the 2026-27 school year.
Each workshop is designed and led by Monique Marshall as its own learning experience, while remaining connected through a shared commitment to equity, belonging, identity-conscious practice, and meaningful classroom application. In select sessions, Monique partners with expert guest collaborators to co-facilitate the learning, bringing additional perspectives and depth to the conversation.
Workshops are intentionally limited to 20 educators, creating space for connection, reflection, and active participation.
Participants will:
- Deepen their understanding of identity-conscious and anti-bias teaching practices
- Engage in hands-on activities with direct classroom application
- Develop tools and routines that strengthen students’ sense of belonging
- Explore practical ways to embed equity into existing curriculum and classroom practices
- Learn alongside a community of equity-minded K-12 educators
All workshops will take place in person in Mid-City, Los Angeles. Each session includes a light breakfast and a catered lunch sourced from local restaurants. Registration is $450 per participant, per workshop. Schools registering four or more participants for the same workshop will receive a discounted group rate of $400 per participant.
Registration opens on Monday, August 3, 2026
