Empowerment Through Perspective: Reframing Deficit Mindsets and Moving to an Asset-Based Mindset
In this two-part series, participants will be introduced to the concept of deficit-based thinking and how harmful and pervasive it is in education spaces. They will engage in an unpacking exercise to better understand the different harmful outcomes of deficit-based thinking. Then they will learn to reframe deficit thinking and co-create asset-based responses. Part 2 will help you understand the ways society does not value the capital that marginalized students bring to educational spaces. Using Yosso's (2005) community cultural wealth model, participants will reflect and reframe how their students are viewed in deficit ways to more asset-based descriptions. Sessions: October 27, 2026 (9:00 AM–12:00 PM); December 8, 2026 (9:00 AM–12:00 PM). In-person (face-to-face) professional learning from CREC – Capitol Region Education Council.

From Contact to Community: Working Together with Families Across Cultures
The first interaction a family has with your school often sets the tone for their entire educational journey. Is it a bridge to partnership or a barrier to engagement? In this workshop series, we explore how school employees serve as the vital frontline of community belonging. We address the "cultural mismatches", differences in communication styles and lived experiences, that can unintentionally create mistrust, especially within culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Learning will be sustained through built-in practice during the session, so participants leave with strategies ready to use, along with practical resources to support ongoing implementation. Participants will be encouraged to collaborate with colleagues to continue reflecting and holding one another accountable, building a community of learners. Change will be evident through increased confidence, more culturally responsive communication, and more restorative and intentional relationship-building with families. Sessions: October 28, 2026 (2:00 PM–4:00 PM); November 4, 2026 (2:00 PM–4:00 PM). In-person (face-to-face) professional learning from CREC – Capitol Region Education Council.
