Did you know Black students in the US attended schools that were more segregated in 2016 than in 1988? Why have schools remain divided, even as the student population has grown more diverse? And how can we intentionally integrate our schools without the burden of the work resting on the few? Sonia Park shares examples of Diverse-by-Design schools that are successfully incorporating the practices of intentionality, inclusivity, and contextuality.
