Overview and Timeline
This course will run from Saturday, February 17 through Saturday April 6, 2024, as described below .
Introductory Nugget | Saturday Feb 17th
Live Event #1 (virtual) | Wednesday Feb 21st | 11:30am-1 pm CT
Our virtual kick-off event will connect you with the designers and facilitators of the series, as well as other good folks in this learning community! We’ll exchange examples of actions we take and reflect on the words of BIPOC leaders about how our actions can be most impactful. We’ll each leave with a simple tool to help us track the kinds of actions we want to continue – and start – to counter the hidden forces of racism.
Nuggets 1-6 | Saturday February 24th to Wednesday March 13th
⦿ Everyone will receive 2 "deep dive" nuggets per week-each focused on ONE meaningful action you take to live the value of anti-racism.
⦿ Each nugget also links you to curated resources on the topic you can explore as your time permits.
Live Event #2 (virtual) | Wednesday March 13th | 5:30-7 pm CT
An opportunity to explore the content from the previous nuggets, exchange insights, provide feedback, and get inspired. You are encouraged to join this virtual event whether or not you were able to make the in-person kick off! Dr. Allison Plyer will unpack compelling data about inequity in education – and will guide us through a few practical steps we can take to build greater equity. We will have facilitated, small-group dialogue to explore actions we are taking – and questions that are surfacing for us as we walk this path together.
Nuggets 7-12| Saturday March 16th to Wednesday April 3rd
⦿ Everyone will receive 2 "deep dive" nuggets per week-each focused on ONE meaningful action you take to live the value of anti-racism.

A brief note on the term BIPOC
We use the acronym BIPOC throughout this series to include all Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. While this term may not yet be widely used, we feel it is the most inclusive phrase available. At times we replace BIPOC with Black to be accurate about the data we are citing or reference we are making.

Stay With It!
We know that 6 weeks is a commitment. We know that after a few weeks you might feel like you’ve gotten enough ideas and resources – and might stop opening the nuggets. But, we also know this:
- It takes frequent reinforcement over several months to create new habits and mindsets. Completing the entire series-with its twice weekly reminders over 6 weeks- will help you integrate new actions and ways of thinking into your daily life, long-term.
- Each week introduces a new angle on systemic racism and how to address it. If you drop off before the series is complete, you’ll miss out on some key sets of actions and may miss those specific actions that best suit your unique circumstances.
Stick with the nuggets. Open both nuggets (one new topic and one new set of resources) each week. Remember - it’s just a few minutes of your time, for a lifetime of living your value of anti-racism.
