includED TRAINING BRINGS DIGNITY TO THE FOREFRONT
|
|
|
|
Earlier this spring, 65 LT staffers from all areas of the school came together to participate in an awareness training for the IncludED Dignity Framework, which is a new way to approach educational equity through actions that address inequity and exclusion in schools. IncludED training utilizes a framework of listening, openness, empathy, and patience to emphasize the inherent worth of each individual within an organization. Following three days of training, 47 staff members continued developing Dignity Projects, which center on the topic of dignity and increase sense of belonging at LT.
The Dignity Projects address one of the four standards and reach all corners of the District: 1. Affirm differences and uniqueness, 2. Repair harm and restore relationships, 3. Build partnership and community, 4. Presume competence and positive intent.
The following are examples of a few of the topics and questions their plans address:
- Math teacher Tamiaka Killins: How can we celebrate everyone's differences in a manner that makes them feel proud and honored?
- Special Education teacher Tiz Lambert: Can using culturally responsive teaching strategies increase student ownership in learning?
- Fine Arts Division Chair Paula Nardi: How can I help promote a culture that recognizes and celebrates the diverse populations who make up our community?
- English teacher Zainab Salah: How can I build a sense of belonging in order to increase positive student relationships in my classroom?
- Global Studies Administrative Assistant Susan Hughes: How can we build partnership and community through the Administrative Assistants Team to increase a sense of belonging?
- Athletic Director John Grundke: When students fail to make a team for which they try out, how can we preserve their dignity and give them a path to success?
- Paraprofessional Yvonne Glodz: How can we put systems in place that allow for paraeducators dignity to be honored and maintained?
- Assistant Principal Administrative Assistant Ibet Herrera: How can I help students understand that I am here to help?
IncludED participants learned it doesn't take changing everyone in an organization to make an impact. Rather, it takes a group of committed and supported individuals who are empowered to make change rather than wait for it to happen or complain that someone else isn't leading it.
