PEG University
PEG recognizes the need to take an active role in developing the cultural competency of our nation’s leaders, teachers, administrators, parents and students through professional training and development to foster effective responses to the current academic achievement gap.
PEG University will offer classes nationally within the Cultural Competency framework so participants – whether individuals, schools, districts or parents – can develop a course of action to address their current needs. These classes have been designed to provide an effective learning solution to the busy professional by integrating both online and in-person seminars. A detailed description, cost and available classes are available in the PEG Store.

PEG, has developed an online version of Beyond Diversity I to further meet the needs of our clients. BDOnline is offered as a 4-week course, with the option of receiving 3 graduate credits through our partnership with the Hamline University Center for Excellence in Urban Teaching in St. Paul, Minnesota. It is a viable option for partner districts as new employees join their equity efforts in order to get them trained in the foundation principles quickly. It is also a great option for individuals who may be interested in pursuing the curriculum independently, as well as a wonderful professional development tool as teachers prepare to renew their licensure.

Black Males, Schooling and Systemic Failure Seminar

This 4-week course will provide a lens to understand the unique circumstances facing black males in our society, shows how this societal experience plays out in schools, and explores ways in which the system institutionalizes practices that marginalize, and perhaps criminalize, black males. You will engage in personal reflection while examining ways to transform our school environments into places that nurture the spirit and foster high-level engagement and achievement of our lowest performing, yet most disregarded student population.
