Commitment to Work. We commit to work together to make the changes needed to ensure equity exists in our schools. To this end we will: 1. Support educator driven initiatives, such as Activist Collective, Chief Equity Influencers, and others that may develop to support this work, 2. Review data on recruiting, hiring, coaching, evaluation, and retention of educators of color, and develop initiatives, if needed, to ensure that we are able to increase and retain educators of color; and 3. Additionally, SEZP will ensure that there is ongoing professional development related to racial equity and identity-based harm developed and coordinated by individual schools and/or SEZP in collaboration with CEIs, external partners, and/or organizations supporting equity work.
