TRANSFORMATIVE RACIAL EQUITY LEADERS
-
Student development is not linear. Although the Developmental Continuum acknowledges the importance of developmental appropriateness, developmental indicators are not explicitly associated with specific age- or grade-related benchmarks.
Examples of student indicators presented in this document are organized from Emerging through Extending and are arranged in a horizontal developmental progression as students build towards these competencies over time. For the full description of each Graduate Portrait element, please see pages 20-22 of the 欧美巨乳色情片 Vision.

I respect the various experiences and perspectives of other identities and seek out multiple perspectives of students and adults with identities that are similar and different from my own.

I employ critical thinking strategies to identify, challenge, and change oppressive systems, imbalances of power, assumptions, and biases in order to create a more racially just community.
