On June 20, 2020, the ALAMLE board committed to developing supports for Alabama middle level educators who want to make their districts, schools, and classrooms more equitable learning environments for students.
Today, we invite you to join in that work. Please complete the form below if you would like to play a role in developing frameworks for thinking through anti-racist policies and practices for classrooms, schools, and districts.
A few notes before we dive in.
To start, while this is the first time ALAMLE is publicly and collectively taking explicit action to build a more just future for Alabama students, this is not done on a whim or because anti-racism and social justice are currently in the headlines. Learning and internal work have been going on behind the scenes for a long time, and we know that we must unite with other educators in putting that learning into practice to have a meaningful and lasting impact throughout our state.
Additionally, we know that our own learning and much of the content of these frameworks is shaped by leaders in equity and anti-racism, specifically leaders of color, who have been doing the work for years. We will be diligent in amplifying their voices and citing them to ensure that their efforts are not erased or unacknowledged.
