From Amanda Bastoni, National ACTE IAED Coordinator
ACTE is committed to Inclusion, Access, Equity and Diversity (IAED) in all that it does. As such, we recognize that we have work to do and that IAED is a continuous process to ensure every member has access to the many benefits of membership, that all members feel included in programming designed for them, and that our membership reflects the diversity of our CTE educators across the country. In order to approach this important work authentically and with fidelity, we need to hear from you. Please take the next 10 minutes to complete this optional survey, so that we can know you better and provide the professional development and resources our CTE communities need.
Remember, the goal is for this work to be designed for and guided by our members. All questions are optional, and none of your personally identifying information will be shared; only summative data will be used to help design more meaningful IAED programming. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to IAED Coordinator, Amanda Bastoni.
