NCBI Programs to Reduce Racial Disparity in Schools
The ACLU sued the Antioch, California Unified School District for Racial Disparities in Discipline. NCBI was written into the Settlement Agreement to work with Antioch, as part of the work with Antioch over the next five (5) years NCBI trained hundreds of high school students to lead Diversity & Inclusion workshops for their peers and since has introduced this or similar programs in dozens of high schools across the country. NCBI's Train the Trainer program has won numerous awards across the country and is the only program we are aware of where students are trained to then lead anti-bias work in their schools. Here's the Antioch Report

Train-the-Trainer Leadership Program for Middle and High Schools

The NCBI Two-Day Leadership Training for Middle and High Schools trains students to lead the Welcoming Diversity: Building a Caring School Environment Workshop or the Preventing School Violence Workshop. NCBI works with the school to identify critical issues related to inclusion and safety, including:

  • Targeting of minority students
  • Anti-gay bullying
  • Gang violence
  • Gender harassment
  • Other types of mistreatment and violence
Student trainers become a resource team for their school, developing programs and strategies to build a safer and more caring school learning environment. High school student leaders present the Welcoming Diversity Workshop and the Preventing School Violence Workshop in their schools and may also be a resource to the middle and elementary schools in their districts. This two-day training has been successfully implemented in hundreds of schools and universities in the United States and Europe.
