Dedrick works with Schools (Traditional and Charter), Juvenile Justice Officials, Districts, Non-Profits, and other groups looking to increase their capacity to serve students of color in the following ways:
A. Hardwired By Nature: School Design Through An Equity Lens
This full-day, highly active and engaging equity workshop is designed to increase educator’s awareness of equity opportunities in the learning experiences of students of color. During this workshop, educators take a deeper look at systemic inequalities, traditional educator dispositions about students of color, and community systems that affect the educational outcomes of students of color. This workshop also identifies the characteristics of students of color that are inherent parts of their culture that can add value to their learning experiences in schools. This is a powerful workshop that has impacted many teachers, administrators, and policy makers. It is designed to be an addition to your toolbox of best instructional strategies. This is not a “how to teach students of color kit;” instead this workshop is about using culture to enhance school design and learning experiences to improve the academic and social outcomes of students of color. Using videos, movement based activities, songs, laughter, and sometimes tears, this workshop will increase the capacity of educators who serve students of color to improve the outcomes of this group by creating environments that are designed through an equity lens. Ultimately, it is a workshop aimed at improving the capacity of educators to ensure equity is considered in every decision.
B. Working With Boys Of Color Workshop Series
In these four 4-hour workshops educators will focus on increasing their understanding of working with young men of color in a traditional school setting as well as other social structures. The focus areas will be inclusive of the four multi-dimensional areas of academic engagement, behavioral engagement, cognitive engagement, and affective engagement. Each of the learning workshops will also include restorative mediation techniques that educators and school leaders can access when engaging with young men of color. These workshops will also equip Deans of Students with male specific strategies to include in their coaching and support of teachers.
