Have you encountered discrimination during your job search?
Would you recognize subtle discrimination against you?
Join us as we discuss the many forms of discrimination you may encounter
during your job search.
We will define common terms such as prejudice, discrimination, and stereotype. We'll discuss protected groups and self-fulfilling prophecies.
You'll hear the cost to society.
And most importantly, we'll tell you what can do when you encounter discriminatory practices.

This session shares the Franklin, MA School Committee Goals Session Workshop held on Tuesday, Jul 19, 2022. The meeting was conducted in the third floor training room.
School Committee Chair Denise Spencer opens the meeting at 6:02 PM. Tracey Novick, Field Director from MASC, facilitated the goals session.
The recording for the major large group portion of the workshop is shared here. Once the group broke further into small group work, I stopped the recording. The output of the small group sessions will be written up and work on these goals will continue to be done by the School Committee in future sessions.
The show notes contain a link to the agenda and to my notes.
The recording runs just about 38 minutes, so let’s listen to the large group portion of the goal setting workshop of the Franklin School Committee on July 19, 2022.

You can provide feedback to the DOER in these sessions, to help get the stretch codes to make a difference. You can find the series here ->
