This event was used to advance equity in the Yakima Valley by beginning a conversation with multiple stakeholders "at the table". Participants were asked to work collaboratively to develop a regional strategic plan for recruitment, retention, and relationship building.

Critical Race Theory in Education
This TEN event took a look at how race intersects with culture, law, & education, how it affects the classroom, and how it is tied to curriculum and assessment. The conference included a student summit which focused on the experiences of K-12 students of color. The summit was designed to give students a chance to explore their cultural identities and interact with other students of color.
