Our Vision: Intentionally designed, equitable and inclusive educational systems for all students. Innovate. Include. Impact.

SIP hosts and organizes a number of events for its grantees each year with the goal of building the capacities of our grantees to progress on the path of creating inclusive organizations. The events range from in-person trainings/workshops to webinars designed to ensure busy educators can access them from anywhere in California. Most events are provided free of cost to our grantees and we do open our events when possible to other LEAs in order to promote the message of inclusion.

Building and Refining a Culture of Inclusion

Four Part Webinar Series for Leaders

Session Information: (click for more info.)

Not sure people will embrace your efforts? Not sure you are aligned to needed changes? In this session you will learn how to apply a simple model to understand why people do the things they do, and begin to align around mindsets needed to create and drive an inclusive culture. This working session will provide a powerful framework for aligning needed mindsets and help you begin to understand the biggest impediments to most change efforts- better equipping you to impact change in any place you are looking for new or different results.

One of the biggest barriers to change is not that people are unwilling to change- it is that they have a rigid or set way of thinking that is impeding the progress you are needing them to make. In this session you will learn and apply a powerful methodology for changing beliefs and be able to simply and effectively work on one of the primary causes that derail our efforts in having people embrace the initiatives and change required for us to be successful. You will learn a simple approach to suspending those biases to accelerate your efforts.

Have you ever found yourself wondering “How did that happen?” In this session you will learn some practical and instantly applicable tools that you can use to ensure you have established expectations in a way that allows people to take accountability for delivering on your needed results. Learn how to minimize the “How did that happen?” moments and turn them into “Let’s make it happen” mindset where people take accountability and deliver results.

What does it look like to overcome obstacles and barriers to create a culture where individuals and teams are able to move “Above the Line” and constantly move closer to achieving desired results? You will work with a simple assessment to look at 16 Best Practices that have been proven to deliver exceptional progress and movement- allowing people to not only acknowledge the reality of the problems we are facing but take ownership for how they can arrive at solutions and deliver the needed steps to achieve needed results. You will learn a simple model for moving from people externalizing the need for change to internalizing the role they can play in any change efforts.
