Equity. The foundation of our work.
At Lumen we know that bias exists and plays out in all organizations. We recognize that privilege is real and we understand that a core part of our work is leading for equity and disrupting bias in all its forms. This work can be uncomfortable at times, and we are looking for colleagues who are willing to lean into this work to better our school culture and serve our parenting students, their children and their families.
As a start, please check out the following resources regarding equity in education. When we meet, we look forward to discussing these with you.
