Advocates for Diversity In Our Schools (A.D.I.O.S.)
2017Advocates for Diversity in Our Schools (A.D.I.O.S.) developed a curriculum, and facilitated a workshop for their 2017 Fellows based on the film "13th." The curriculum and workshop explored race, criminal justice, and mass incarceration through the lens of media and storytelling. Through our specially designed curriculum, Fellows explored the questions: What stories are told and what stories aren’t told by the mass media? Who chooses the stories that get told? And, how can today’s media storytellers change narratives?
2015Advocates for Diversity in Our Schools (A.D.I.O.S.) facilitated a summer training workshop, for staff of the Los Angeles Education Corps, based on one of our flagship cultural reponsive pedagogy sessions entitled, Dreadlocks, Hip-Hop, and X-box. This workshop is designed to provide participants with an introduction to our brand of critical pedagogy. Participants were provided with an overview of our pedagogical approach, which emphasizes social justice, arts integration, and culturally responsive teaching. We contextualized our approach in classroom instruction, and empowered the participants to implement it in their classrooms. Participants also explored how our pedagogical framework is used to increase students’ synthesis of information, analytics of texts, and performance on standardized assessments.

2014Advocates for Diversity in Our Schools (A.D.I.O.S.) developed a Comprehensive Performance Evaluation Tool for the Riverhead Charter School's Director of Operations and Finance. The performance evaluation tool assessed the DOF in six professional domains, using key essential questions to guide the comprehensive and objective performance assessment. For example, in the domain of Communication & Collaboration, the guiding essential question asked, "Has the Director of Operations and Finance established and valued communication with all stakeholders, and does he/she communicate financial information to them in multiple formats, using a variety of communication technologies?" For each domain, there were four indicators developed to guide the evaluator is answering the essential question in a thorough, objective, and accurate manner.
