KOSA’s Statement on Anti-Racism

We believe that Black Lives Matter in Kentucky and across the nation. We agree with and support the American Orff-Schulwerk Association’s statement denouncing violence against the black community. We stand against racism and intolerance and we acknowledge that speaking up is the first step. We commit to listening to people of color in the community in order to develop actions that create change in our classrooms and for our students. We are dedicate to taking the following steps now and in the future:

1. Invite more presenters of color and presenters who can address the topics of diversity inclusion and anti-racism
2. Share resources directed torward anti-racism in the classroom
3. Seek out members at large to better represent the diversity in Kentucky; 4. Provide scholarships to educators of color to promote diverse membership in KOSA.

We’re looking for presenters for our next chapter share!

Interested in presenting at a future workshop? We’d love to hear from you!
