CONSULTING WORK
Amber K. Kim partners to create schools, organizations, and companies that eliminate inequity and strengthen and nourish all staff and the people they serve--particularly those who are marginalized, excluded, and suffer discrimination.
She is a consultant who specializes in developing equity literate educators, mental health/medical providers, and other professionals who can see oppression in current systems, practices, and policies, respond to these inequities and micro-aggressions, and then effectively redress inequities resulting in an environment that is just. Simply put, Amber helps you and your team create and maintain anti-oppressive environments through:
-
quantitatively assessing individual and group levels of intercultural competence
-
evaluating current systems, practices, and policies for micro-aggressions and oppression
-
providing professional development and individual coaching to understand privilege and oppression in self, others, and systems
-
facilitating strategic planning and initiate action
-
speaking at large group events
Amber is also committed to developing equity literate children who can see injustice, speak back to it, and fight for change in meaningful ways. This is done by working directly with children, their parents, and their educators. She facilitates family workshops and seminars for teachers and administrators. As a certified teacher, Amber can plan and/or teach classroom lessons for kids ages 5 to 17. She also gives keynote addresses at education conferences and events. Topics and titles include:
