Stephanie Parra
Executive Director, Arizona Latino Leaders In Education
Overview:
Arizona Latino Leaders In Education or ALL In Education seeks to address the systemic gaps in representation and opportunity that exist in the education system. To advance the work, ALL In Education will cultivate and develop the next generation of Latinos and leaders of color in education ready to lead transformational change across school systems. ALL In Education’s core belief is that until Latinos have power, influence and authority at all levels of education - from students to working families; teachers to administrators; school board members to governing officials; making final decisions, influencing policy, and investing real capital - while collectively holding leaders accountable to creating access to opportunity and justice for Latino students and families, the gap in Latino attainment will never end.
