Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Brooks
The DEI Mission Statement Committee has been meeting for the past four months to create a new mission for diversity, equity, and inclusion at Brooks School. Their statement, in part, asserts: “Key to this work is an ongoing evaluation of how the structures of power and prestige at school place privileged groups over groups that are silenced or marginalized, and taking action to dismantle those structures in favor of alternative structures that embrace the totality of our community.”
This summer within their professional development, faculty members are going to engage in readings, podcasts and videos that unpack white privilege. They plan to look at data to analyze trends that may impact DEI at Brooks and hope to examine all areas of school life to make sure they uphold the DEI Mission Statement. A subcommittee of Brooks' Diversity Leadership Council recently met with new faculty and will continue to onboard them throughout the summer and into next year.
