Meet The Presenters
Leona Alexander
Gifted and Talented Teacher in the Boise School District
Leona is a Gifted and Talented Education (G.A.T.E.) facilitator in Boise School District. She is currently working on her doctorate degree in educational leadership with a focus in educational equity. She has been reflecting on her white privilege and actively searching out how to use that privilege to be an anti-racist and co-conspirator with her brothers and sisters of color since 2002. It was at that time she had the honor of working with Glenn Singleton and the Pacific Educational group to effectively utilize Courageous Conversations to address to the system racism in our schools. Her passion for educational equity has driven her to seek out opportunities such as Harvard University's Race, Equity, and Leadership in Schools (REAL) program, NEA's Leaders for Just Schools ongoing training, Pacific Educational Group's Beyond Equity program, and many more. She shares the experience and knowledge she gains by facilitating classes on educational equity, becoming a trainer for NEA's Just Schools, becoming an IEA trainer, presenting professional development, and participating in district level equity committees. Her passion and dedication to equity drive her learn more, and she would be honored to learn with you this summer!
