Overview and Timeline
This course will run from Saturday, January 21 through Wednesday April 26th, 2023, as described below .
Week 1 | Introductory Nuggets Saturday, Jan 21st to Tuesday, Jan 24th
Week 1 | Virtual Live Event #1 Wednesday Jan 25th 8-9:30 am CT
Our kick-off event will be via Zoom so you can connect directly with the designers and facilitators of the series, as well as many 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 – over the next few months.
Weeks 2 - 4 | Nuggets Saturday February 2nd to Tuesday Feb 28th
Everyone will receive 2 nuggets per week
⦿ A “deep dive” nugget focused on ONE meaningful action to take to live the value of anti-racism
⦿ A shorter nugget designed to remind and encourage
Week 5 | Virtual Live Event #2 - Wednesday Feb 15th | 12-1:30 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.
**Mardi Gras day is February 21. We will be taking this time off, so nuggets will be paused Feb 16-24.**

Dr. Plyer will share some of her discoveries when researching her own history of personal privilege – and will explain some sobering data on the importance of such research for each of us. As always, we’ll have rich facilitated conversations in small groups, and use a simple tool to track the kinds of actions we want to take to address systemic racism.

We’ll offer resources that support your next step in your personal journey to live your values, everyday!

2. RACE: A Tool for Tracking Your Anti-Racism Actions
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 12 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 12 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.
