With OLAC's Culturally Responsive Practices modules as our foundation, here are the objectives for the DEI+B Network

• To provide a safe and interactive learning community through courageous conversations that support educators with resources and applicable knowledge to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging personally and professionally.

• Recognize the importance of acquiring students' prior knowledge

• Recognize the importance of engaging families and communities as a part of an educator’s culturally responsive practices

• Examine the curriculum and supporting materials to identify opportunities to integrate student culture into the school and classroom

If you want to help your students to learn more about DEI+B, you can have a student team join our ALL IN Student Academy. The academy is for students in middle school and high school. Your school will need to have an adult coordinator to facilitate the student team. Please contact Krista Allison or Colleen Kornish for more information.
