The Integrated Schools Movement- How We Show Up

We want to thank you for joining us last night for our webinar, How We Show Up (Part 1). 

We were so inspired by the comments and questions! For those of you that missed the live viewing, don't worry! You can catch the entire webinar and Q&A here. 

We would LOVE to hear your feedback. It is so important for us to know what questions or concerns you have, as we are all on this learning journey together. Please take a moment to fill out this brief survey.

As promised, we are also including a list of many of the resources that we mentioned and that have influenced us. If you are looking for more, head to the resources page on our website, and don’t forget to follow us on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). You can also check out our bookshop, where you can support local bookstores and send a portion of the proceeds back to Integrated Schools.

Thank you for registering for How We Show Up (part 1). We are very excited for the webinar.  

You'll be receiving a link to a private YouTube page a few hours before the event on Monday.  Please make sure you have hello@integratedschools.org in your address book so it doesn't end up in junk.  

Prior to the webinar, we wanted to share just a few resources that might make the webinar more meaningful.  If you don't get to it, we think it will still be great, but if you have the time, these few resources may make the experience even more rich.  

A video of our first webinar - Where We Begin

If audio is easier, an edit of our first webinar was just released as a podcast

We will be drawing heavily on Tema Okun's Characteristics of White Supremacy

You can hear Ms. Okun discuss some of these on The Radical Bureaucrat Podcast.  

For even more, you can check out the resource list from our first webinar. 

We can't wait to see you on Monday evening!  

We can't wait for you to join us for How We Show Up (part 1).  

We will be going live at 5pm PDT / 8pm EDT tonight.  You can find the webinar here. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZLHPG5H3X4). 

We'd love for you to encourage your friends to join, and we'd ask that you share this link (https://integratedschools.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/MTExNzk5) so that they can register and we can make sure to stay in touch.  

If you have any issues, don't hesitate to reach out - hello@integratedschools.org.

Thank you for registering.  We're very excited to debut this webinar and we're so grateful to all of you for signing up.  

We will be live at 5pm PDT / 8pm EDT on YouTube at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDPH7DVr4Fk

We ask that you continue to share the registration link, rather than the YouTube link directly, as we'd like to keep track of who is attending.  The webinar will be recorded and available at the same link.  

We will be sending out a resource list after the webinar, as well as a survey about what you thought.  

Throughout the webinar, feel free to use the chat space to ask any questions.  At the end of the webinar, we will reserve some time for Q&A.  If we don't get to your question, or you'd rather not post it in the chat space, feel free to email hello@integratedschools.org at any time and we will do our best to respond as quickly as possible.  

When you get to YouTube, please take a moment to introduce yourself - name, city, organization (if relevant).  We'd also encourage you to share whose land you are on.  If you need to look it up, http://native-land.ca is a great resource.  

Chat Code of Conduct:

• Listen actively.
• Speak from your own experience instead of generalizing (use "I" instead of "they," "we," and "you").
• Do not be afraid to respectfully challenge by asking questions, but refrain from personal attacks -- focus on ideas.
• The goal here is not to agree -- it is to gain a deeper understanding.
• Please refrain from sarcasm as it is easily misinterpreted.

Any questions, comments, or concerns, email us.  

Thanks again, and see you soon!
