About the Center
Vision: We envision a more just society where schools place humanity at the center of everything they do and their collective actions transform the larger community to eliminate racism, oppression, and bias.
Mission: Through the establishment of youth and adult leadership opportunities, the center amplifies the diverse voices of our students and educators to improve equity in our schools and learning communities throughout Dutchess County and beyond.
Our Partners
Education Elements
What equity really looks like in schools is still a challenge. To move plans into action, Education Elements believes districts must figure how out how to Connect to the challenge, Include the right people at the table, and Create equitable opportunities in order to design better outcomes for kids.
Education Elements, a team of seasoned educators, designers, technologists, and change management experts, has a proven track record in work with districts. The diversity of background of the team has given us insights on what some of the most forward-thinking industries are doing and how these proven strategies are paying off for them and will also pay off for school districts.
