DEI Professional Learning days, held on August 16-17, 2023, were a success! Staff engaged in powerful discussions regarding diversity, equity and inclusion with a focus on social identities and microaggressions. The days began with keynote speakers sharing their experiences and guidance towards equity, including strategies that are impactful for our schools and the entire community. This was followed by breakout sessions allowing participants to engage in discussions about the impact of social identities and microaggressions, and how we can use strategies to support each other and prevent microaggressions form occurring.
This is only the beginning of ongoing professional learning to support the needs of students and faculty throughout their experiences.
