DEI Working Group
Vision
The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Working Group engages all stakeholders of the Carver Public Schools to design and implement strategies that value diversity and ensure equity. The group will do this through courageous conversations and actions which support a culturally inclusive community in a changing global society.
Goals
- Implement baseline assessments to determine our status in relation to our vision.
- Foster a sense of belonging where all members of the school community feel included.
- Establish recruitment and retention practices that increase the diversity of the staff.
Community Agreement
- Step up and step back; “all voices are important”
- Create a brave space; listen to learn, not to respond
- Lean into discomfort; unpack the tension
- Work the idea, not the person
- Speak from the “I”; Own your intentions and impact, and respect others’ experiences and feelings
- Challenge with care, and reflect with sincerity
- Expect and accept non-closure; anti-racist work is on-going and will be challenging at times
- Respect the clock; the work doesn’t end, but meetings have to!
- Speak up and slow down
- The work is public; the conversations are private
