The truth is that exploring one’s racial identity is uncomfortable work. But it’s a vital step toward becoming an anti-racist educator, school leader, or Trustee. This is especially true for white educators who benefit from the managerial structures that have evolved in the world of education.
This two-part webinar will help white educators explore their own racial identity. This understanding will then enable them to work more confidently in achieving their school’s diversity, equity, and inclusion goals.
Watch every ISM webinar run between March 1 and August 31, 2020 for only $880. Learn more.
- Do you find yourself wondering what active role you can play in becoming an anti-racist educator, school leader, or Trustee?
- Do you struggle with understanding how your racial identity plays a role in helping or hindering your institution’s journey to become more anti-racist in culture and practice?
- Do you feel overwhelmed when you ask yourself: Where do I, as a white individual, start with this work? How can I prepare myself to make meaningful social change in my school and in my wider communities?
This two-part webinar will help you examine how the white racial identity has affected the educational landscape. With this knowledge, you’ll be better equipped to apply a nuanced and personal sociological analysis to determine if systemic racism is operating within your school’s policies and practices.
We’ll also discuss how to bring this knowledge to your fellow teachers and administrators by creating a school-based cohort so you can do this work together.
This is a two-part webinar.
- On Wednesday, August 5, we’ll present a 60-minute webinar on self-reflection. After this presentation, you’ll be assigned homework to reflect on your racial identity. You’ll return a week later to explore what you have uncovered.
- On Wednesday, August 12, we'll show you how to use this newfound knowledge at your school in a follow-up webinar. The second 60-minute webinar will detail how faculty can organize to create anti-racist professional working groups to support one another to achieve your school’s diversity, equity, and inclusion goals.
In these two webinars, you will:
- explore how your unintended bias can impact your work as an educator and what you can do to change it;
- determine how to create a framework for diversity, equity, and inclusion that articulates and provides meaningful guidance for providing an equitable school environment; and
- build the capacity for your school to move toward becoming an actively anti-racist multicultural institution.
This webinar is great for:
All school leaders.
Randy Clancy
Racial Justice Educator and Trainer
Randy believes that white people must study whiteness if we want to be effective, accountable, and responsible partners to People of Color in challenging racism. She is grateful to the People of Color and white people in her racial justice community who inspire her to dig deeper into the history of white supremacy and uncover its impact on her experience as a white cis woman in the United States.
Randy is committed to doing better daily by studying, reflecting on, and embracing the vulnerability that comes with bringing her internalized racism to light. She is happiest when she is cooking for her family and loved ones.

If several of us at the school want to attend the webinar, do we each have to register and pay?
If two or more people at your school want to attend the webinar in the same location (for example, in a conference room with one monitor), then you only need to register and pay for one person who will receive the email and link. If you have people in remote locations, each person will need to register and pay separately. Essentially, a registration and payment gives you one link to the webinar.
Will I receive a reminder about the webinar I’ve just purchased?
Yes. A message will be sent to the email address you registered one or two days before the run date. You will receive a link to the webinar as well as PDF slides of the presentation you will be attending.
What happens if I miss my webinar? Will the fee be refunded?
If you’ve missed your scheduled webinar, don’t panic—you will automatically receive a link to the recorded webinar, barring any technical difficulties that prevent us from recording the session.
Will I receive a recorded version of the webinar after it concludes?
Yes, a recording of your webinar will be sent 24–48 hours after the recording concludes.
What if I have questions about the presentation? Whom do I contact?
You will be able to type questions, thoughts, and concerns in the communication box throughout the webinar. Each webinar allows 15 minutes for answering questions.
