Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

​TFC Commitment to Inclusion & Equity

At TFC we are committed to doing the work of ​building ​​a school environment ​that ​embraces ​diversity, pursues equity, ​and ​fosters ​​inclusion. To that end, we are spending this school year partnering with our community of teachers, families, and board members to craft a representative statement that appropriately reflects the values of our institution. Throughout this process we will continue to educate ourselves on our own biases, and strive to create and maintain an inclusive community. We understand that this path is a journey, and our work in this area is ever growing and evolving. We will not be perfect in our endeavors, and we all have much to learn, but we will continue to examine ourselves and redefine what Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion mean to our institution as we reflect on our work and grow together.

Anti-bias Learning 

Resources for Teachers & Families

We see the collection of resources as an ongoing collaboration between the faculty and families of TFC. Here are some of the articles, websites, books and social media accounts that we have been following. We are particularly interested in amplifying the voices of People of Color and ask that you please share any additional resources with us so that we can share here with the broader community.

Excellent article arguing a need for anti-racist education rather than anti-bias education.
