Based on the continually evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and public health recommendations, 2021 Institutes will be held virtually, via synchronous online learning (using the free Zoom video meeting platform).
As co-presenters, Dr. Colleen Capper and Dr. Elise Frattura bring a combined history of over 61 years of distance learning experience to the Virtual Institutes. The Virtual Institutes will mirror previous in-person Institutes' content and pace with an ebb and flow between small group and large group work.

The ICS Equity Framework and Process builds the “collaborative equity capacity” of the entire organization through team implementation. The ICS Equity Institutes rely on intentional teams to learn about the Framework and Process to implement ICS Equity in their setting.
An individual or two from an organization may attend the ICS Equity Institute to learn about the work to be able to invite teams from their setting to attend future ICS Equity Institutes.
Moving beyond piecemeal equity efforts, the ICS Equity Framework and Process advances equity systems change–from a deficit to a proactive system.
ICS Equity is not an initiative, a model, or a workshop. The ICS Equity Four Cornerstone Framework and Process forms the core and provides a framework for all of the organization’s work.
We can provide a one-half day overview of the ICS Equity Framework and Process as a way to introduce the work and to help participants decide on hosting or attending a 3-day ICS Equity Institute.
We also provide custom professional development for organizations who have completed an ICS Equity Institute to deepen the work.
The 2021 Annual National ICS Equity Institutes will be held virtually, via synchronous online learning, due to the continually evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and public health recommendations. The Annual National ICS Equity Institutes Part I and Part II are typically hosted every summer in Madison, WI, and designed for teams (e.g, district leadership team, school leadership team, state teams, regional teams, association teams, and other organizational teams). The ICS Institute Part I , 3 day event is designed to introduce teams to the ICS Equity Framework and Process.
ICS Equity Institute Part II: Co-Plan to Co-serve to Co-Learn (C3)™, 2-day event is designed for teams to engage more deeply with the Co-Plan to Co-Serve to Co-Learn process.
Teams find the ICS Equity Institutes invaluable as they experience various activities within each Digital Module that teams will in turn facilitate in their setting. The National Institute provides extensive team time to collaborate on each of the ICS Equity Steps and to create their ICS Equity Action Plan to carry the work forward in their setting.
