Description¶

Huntley Community School District 158 initiated a Latino/a Affinity Group "to foster connections and support among Latino/a teachers, creating a sense of belonging and networking opportunities across the district to improve staff retention." Emerging from a Digital Promise-facilitated design studio, it gave educators a platform for personal and professional growth, enabled cross-school collaboration on teaching practices, and supported student-facing events such as a fourth-grade dance performance that centered Latino/a identity.
