Building from the Social Justice Framework of Miller & Kirkland (2012), I offer Professional Development Support and Technical Assistance that builds dispositions and capacity for anti-bias, prejudice reduction and equity across curriculum, pedagogy, and policy. Sessions are structured to be Reflective, Change-Oriented and Solutions-Based.
