Teaching and Learning
Committee members include teachers, administrators, members of the board of education, students and community members. The DEI committee is hoping to tackle the problem from multiple angles and across all grade levels. We are approaching this from a systemic point of view and we feel, by doing that, we are going to establish some sustainability, said Davis. This is not a one year or a two year and done. This is something that we, as a district, strongly believe in and we are committed to.
The committee developed a five year plan. The first year of the plan focuses on building awareness and becoming informed. Years two and three will be focused on collecting data and positioning DEI as an agent of change. Years three and four will be spent dismantling systemic practices and policies on a macro level. The plan for year five includes reflection and next steps, according to the 2020 DEI report.
