Educational Partnership Series

Effective Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training requires that one investigate their own aspects around difference in order to build awareness/recognition of their own bias. Through a lens of social justice, DEI self-inquiry highlights the importance of knowing oneself in order to effectively lead work with people from different backgrounds, cultures and beliefs. Such training allows organizations to excel in their duty to serve as well as to retain talent. Personnel learn how to detect and minimize behaviors that can undermine individuals and groups, along with inclusive actions that reflect a commitment to civil communication.

As a foundational practice for making meaning of our world, it’s important that, as educators, we are deliberate with our pedagogical choices when it comes to the reading tasks we ask of our students. So let’s consider such practical questions as, How much reading can we expect of our students? Such logistical questions as, How can we create opportunities for students to select their own readings? Such theoretical questions as, Is listening to audio the same as reading the page, and what about reading on screens? And such aspirational questions as, How do we instill the pleasure of reading and help encourage our students to become lifelong readers? If these are the sorts of questions you find yourself pondering as you assign reading and design learning activities, do consider this invitation to discuss your successes and your struggles in helping students read more critically, purposefully, and joyfully.
