The Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) believes its efforts are enriched by the diversity of its staff and the people they serve. Through its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion department, SCOE presents a variety of learning opportunities as it works to develop strategies, programs, and services that meet the unique needs of all learners, helping eliminate gaps in opportunity and achievement.
For spring 2023, SCOE encourages educators at schools and districts across Sacramento County—along with SCOE staff—to participate in a series of free webinars. The engaging sessions are all being presented online in partnership with the National Equity Project, an organization dedicated to transforming the outcomes for children and families who have historically been underserved.
