The Process of Becoming a Totally Inclusive School

  • - Tuning into our ultimate responsibilities to safeguard learners in a culture underpinned by DEI.
  • - Identifying components educators need to address in a culture of ethical change.
  • - Igniting individual educators’ advocacy and collective solidarity for DEI.

Session Description

How best can we influence changing school culture and infrastructure for Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)? DEI work is change management work. Embedding DEI practices in one’s institution requires knowing what accelerates change and what impedes it. In this session, we will explore the Total Inclusivity Change Components Model. When a school ecosystem addresses multiple change components, the school will have a greater chance of tackling the complexities of DEI work. Considering all aspects of the model, there will be fewer disruptions to efforts to create change, less disheartenment, fewer isolated interventions, and greater use of resources.
