Fellowship For Race & Equity In Education

THE EQUITY LAB SEEKS TO DISRUPT RACIAL AND ETHNIC INEQUITY BY ENGAGING ORGANIZATIONS IN ISSUES OF RACE, EQUITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION(REDI).

LONG-TERM ENGAGEMENTS ARE DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE READY AND COMMITTED TO BECOMING ANTI-RACIST LEADERS FOR EQUITY BUT ARE UNSURE OF HOW TO GET THERE. TEL'S ENGAGEMENTS REQUIRE EXTENSIVE COLLABORATION WITH LEADERSHIP AND A STEERING COMMITTEE OVER THE COURSE OF ONE TO TWO YEARS. ORGANIZATIONS WILL TRANSFORM THROUGH INDIVIDUAL GROWTH, REVISION OF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WITH AN EQUITY LENS, AND TEAM-LEVEL ALIGNMENT TO AN ORGANIZATION-WIDE VISION FOR EQUITY.

TEL IS A GROWING ORGANIZATION THAT IS LOOKING TO BECOME A THOUGHT LEADER IN THE EQUITY SPACE. AS SUCH, TEL WRITES BLOG PIECES, SPREAD ITS IDEAS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ITS WEBSITE, AND LOOK TO AMPLIFY THE VOICES OF ITS FELLOWSHIP COMMUNITY. TEL IS CONTINUOUSLY REVISING ITS COMMUNICATIONS TO BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF THE FIELD AND ATTRACT ATTENTION TO ITS IMPACT AS IT LOOKS TO GAIN PARTNERS AND SUPPORTERS IN THE WORK. ADDITIONALLY, FOLLOWING PARTICIPATION IN ITS FELLOWSHIPS AND LONG-TERM ENGAGEMENTS, TEL CREATES PERPETUAL SPACES FOR CONNECTION, HEALING, AND INNOVATION THROUGH OUR ONLINE ALUMNI NETWORK. WHILE STILL A BURGEONING PART OF ITS OFFERINGS DURING THE PANDEMIC, TEL 'S ONLINE AND IN-PERSON ALUMNI ACTIVITIES ARE MEANT TO CONTINUE THE ITERATIVE PROCESS AROUND REDI WORK AND GIVE ITS LEADERS A SPACE TO MAKE FURTHER CONNECTIONS AUTONOMOUSLY.

THE NEXUS FELLOWSHIP IS A NATIONAL FELLOWSHIP THAT HELPS LEADERS TO CREATE LONG-TERM ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE AROUND RACE AND EQUITY. AS A YEARLONG PROGRAM, THE NEXUS EXPERIENCE ENGAGES PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR HOST ORGANIZATIONS IN A DEEP PERSONALIZED LEADERSHIP JOURNEY BASED ON THEIR IDENTITIES AROUND THREE SPECIFIC DESIGN CHALLENGES: CHALLENGES WITH PEOPLE, CHALLENGES WITH PROCESSES, AND CHALLENGES WITH PROGRAMS.
