Student Equity Development and Leadership is a new area of focus for the Office of Equity. Our mission is to grow the capacity to interrupt systems of marginalization to support student learning and development. Our vision is that all SPPS staff are equity leaders in partnership with students, families, and the community.
Student Equity Development and Leadership will support and develop a process for identifying, assessing, and implementing a systemic model for student equity development and leadership programming across the district. Student Equity Development and Leadership also works collectively with the Office of Equity team and school building advisors/facilitators of student programming to develop curriculum, programming, tools, and resources to systemically elevate student voice while supporting student academic success in SPPS.
The Latinx Youth Leadership Conference is a one-day event consisting of workshops, presentations, activities, and art that promote positive youth development, leadership, and cultural identity in Latinx students, ages 6-12th grade. Youth learn from others and share their perspectives and experiences regarding the development of their lives and community. Registration is free, includes lunch, and opens in early February. Registration is limited will be handled on a first come, first served basis, with a maximum of 30 student registrants per school. The Office of Equity will cover the cost of transportation for any SPPS school attending. Contact Equity at equity@spps.org by Friday, March 24th to confirm attendance.
