Our Partnerships
How do you support students and families through equity work? Shifting the culture of a school and district requires students (and often families) to have input and be part of the process. We offers companion lessons and engagement for secondary students as the adults in their school/district work with our team for professional development.
Our work with students may include:
- Building a common vocabulary and understanding terms
- Understanding what it means to lead/take agency
- Understanding structural systems and using an equity lens on campus
- Using case studies or real scenarios to identify, acknowledge, and unpack critical events
- Supporting continued consciousness and activity of students who are already equity-motivated
- Content-specific lessons and series
- Using case studies or real scenarios to identify, acknowledge, and unpack critical events
- Co-teaching lessons in the classroom
- Focus groups regarding curriculum, culture of the school/district, equity review of policies and practices, etc.
- Content-aligned parallel development for students (building a common understanding with building educators)
- Focus groups regarding curriculum, culture of the school/district, equity review of policies and practices, etc.
- Creating ways to provide equity feedback to adults; accountability and measures for creating equitable change
- Processing towards healing and systemic change through past and present critical incidents
- Working within their community outside of campus to create and sustain equitable change
Learning about race, racism and anti-racism is a life-long journey.
Our curriculum reflects this and we offer courses at the beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. Our commitment to you runs past your first course with us. We provide opportunities to remain engaged and continue your lifelong journey to educate yourself and commit to racial justice.
M.U.M is partnering with RISE to bring social justice education to K-12 schools. We are currently working with the Ethnic Studies department at Gateway High School in San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) to assist in developing curriculum around challenging systemic racial oppression”
