“Sending our teachers to 4DL's Equity Practitioner Program (EPP) has been an extremely powerful personal and professional growth experience for our participating teachers... It is most exciting to hear them share how they now feel empowered and equipped to confront racism in their schools whether it be in a PLC or in the teacher’s lounge, and support other educators on their journey. This sounds like the end but it’s actually the beginning. We look forward to continuing this work."
