Using Parental Superpowers to Drive Diversity in Education

 

Reflect to Act Founder, Kelly Yiadom • TedX Rose Tree 2020

One of the many ways children develop their identity and build their confidence is by seeing themselves in their school settings. In this talk, Reflect to Act founder Kelly Yiadom delves into the importance of creating educational spaces that are reflective of all students, and she chronicles her experience with creating a parent community, along with dedicated teachers and administrators, committed to developing cultural proficiency in schools. From programming to assemblies, literature, and classroom lessons, creating a new normal so every student is seen, heard and reflected, will only better prepare children to be successful in a diverse society and world.
