Diversity & Inclusion Training

 A teacher’s ability to engage with people whose backgrounds and identity groups are different from their own is the foundation of an inclusive classroom. Provide teachers and staff an overview of skills they can use to create more inclusive environments.

Help teachers and staff understand the importance of considering impact, not intent, when engaging with identity terminology and self-identification. 

Explore unconscious bias, the impact of myths and stereotypes in the school setting, and strategies educators can use to uncover and combat unconscious bias.

Acting as an ally is an important way to support members of marginalized groups and break down institutionalized discrimination. Give teachers and staff at all levels the tools needed to practice allyship.

Guide teachers in understanding the dynamics of bullying, teaching with a trauma-informed approach, and practicing cultural humility. Modeling inclusive practices can reduce the incidence of bullying in the classroom.

These courses, customized for middle and high school students, explore how students can contribute to and get the most out of their school experience and in any community where they choose to live, learn and work.
