September 28th- I've Hired a DEI Practitioner: Now What? with Tamisha Williams

  Between early 2020 and early 2021, DEI job postings increased by over 100 percent within independent schools. While some of those positions were in development prior to the very public and traumatic murders of George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, many positions were developed in response to the national outcry and social media-based activism for justice against racism. A lack of support and understanding of the DEI role can lead to wasted time, resources, and talent, and even the most well-intentioned and well-resourced schools can struggle to make this role effective. If the DEI role is new to your community and you’re wanting to be proactive in supporting your practitioner as well as the collective work ahead, join us. Please note that this program will not be recorded.

AISGW is pleased to offer this fall subscription series, “Building Belonging,” to support our member schools’ diversity, equity, and inclusion work. The goal of this series is to provide deeper learning opportunities for educators who are working to create more inclusive school communities. We hope that these offerings can meet much of a school’s professional development needs in the area of DEI.
