Respect for All
Why Listen?
How do we ensure respect for all? SHRM has removed the work "equity" from its program name. Yet a recent EdWeek article states there are still impactful efforts going on in districts, focused on belonging.
The important work here is about improvements to the employee and student experience. Culture and climate are enhanced by awareness and action informed through access and belonging.
How can we shift the focus so the conversations continue, and the hard work to ensure respect for all keeps its momentum?
Guests
- Loudoun County Public Schools Director of Talent Development Tanisha Holland
- Experience Management Institute Vice President of Strategy Dr. Naima Khandaker
Topics
Student outcomes and employee experience both have proven positive impacts due to access- and belonging-based programs. This episode explores:
- Why it's important to know how to implement best practices for students and educators
- Meaningful work in education to reinforce and activate welcoming environments
- How we can prepare people for conversations that are critical for collaboration and meaningful work on culture and climate
- Why training itself is not a solution, and why it is important to change daily behaviors
- How we can move forward together in situations where we cannot say some words but need to communicate the message that all means all, and everyone is worthy of empathy, respect, and understanding
