To effectively talk about diversity with students, colleagues or others, it’s crucial to start work self reflection. Who am I ? What is my identity ? What makes me unique ? These questions help us understand ourselves better and recognize our own biases and perspectives. #DiversityAndInclusion #EquityInEducation #InclusiveEducation #TeacherWellbeing #StudentSuccess

From the article: “Instead of fighting over an acronym, we should recenter the conversation on the actual principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and appeal to people who believe in what those ideas represent. To that end, we must proactively explain what diversity, equity, and inclusion work is, and even more importantly, what it’s not. It’s not about categorizing people as either “oppressors” or “oppressed,” based on their identities. It’s not about punishing people for who they are or supporting certain groups to the detriment of others. Instead, diversity is about casting a wide talent net to find a more representative group of skilled candidates or students. Equity is about designing systems and processes so that people from all backgrounds have a fair opportunity to do their best. Inclusion is about creating cultures where everyone can be their true self and thrive.” #humanize #equitydiversityinclusion #wellness #socialjustice

Great read! #learn #relearn “We must be precise about the gaps DEI work is seeking to close, like uneven access to opportunities, differences in promotion rates that indicate some people get more opportunities for growth than others, and demoralizing experiences of bias and discrimination that make it impossible for someone to do their best work. And as new generations enter the workforce or head to college campuses, we can help them understand their role in overcoming these obstacles and communicate the benefit of working and learning in diverse communities.”
The anti-DEI movement has gone from fringe to mainstream. Here’s what that means for corporate America

In 8th grade, my history teacher would declare "Define fair!" when a student would say, "That's not fair!" I've ruminated on that ever since. Thus, leading up to this special day, I have been reflecting on the words "fairness (or equality)" and "equity", what they mean, why they are different, and why understanding the distinction is crucial, particularly in the workplace. 💦 Let's dive in: ⚖ Fairness/Equality: Often interpreted as treating everyone the same. It's about consistency in applying rules and policies to all. 🌐 Equity: Involves acknowledging and accommodating different needs and circumstances. It's about ensuring everyone has access to the same opportunities. Approach: ⚖ Fairness/Equality: Assumes a level playing field for all. 🌐 Equity: Recognizes that people start from different places and may need different resources to succeed. Outcome: ⚖ Fairness/Equality: Can inadvertently maintain the status quo, not addressing underlying disparities. 🌐 Equity: Strives for equal outcomes by providing tailored support where needed. In Practice: ⚖ Fairness/Equality: Applying the same performance standards to all employees. 🌐 Equity: Providing additional mentoring to a team member from an underrepresented group to foster their professional growth. A fair workplace isn't always an equitable one. Understanding this distinction is crucial and requires intentional measures, compassion, and collaboration. A truly inclusive environment is deeper than fairness. 🌍⚖️✨ #MLK #humanrights #fairness #inclusive #equity #DEI #bekind #compassion #companyculture

Fostering Unity: Shifting from College Competition to Collaboration in the Workplace In today's dynamic workforce, the notion of colleges competing against each other is outdated. Instead, let's emphasize unity and collaboration among educational institutions, aligning with the shared goals of companies. When colleges recognize themselves as part of the same mission—to equip students with skills for success—it strengthens our collective impact. Let's champion collaboration over competition to better serve both students and employers. #UnityInTheWorkplace #CollaborativeEducation #SharedMission

Schools should never insist on admitting only brilliant students. Aim of school is to teach students and make them brilliant (i.e. deliver good/brilliant students!), not use brilliance of students as inputs to enhance their own reputation. They are paid by students exactly for that work. If schools are insisting on former, they are not doing/are bad at their real work/duty! Corporations should never insist on admitting people who can't/are not willing do the real work. Aim of corporations isn't to teach employees/have equality without merit/hard work, it's to use employee skills for creating good products/services for its customers! Employees are paid by corporations and corporations are paid by customers for exactly that purpose. If corporations are not delivering good products/services to customers, they are bad at their real work/duty! Our modern society is so much messed up considering both of the above things/aims, inputs and deliverables :) LOL!

There are so many powerful takeaways and considerations in this article. I'll need to read and re-read it several times to digest and determine ways to incorporate into our work in education. 🔑 How can we leverage Morgan Roberts' research to create safer, more inclusive learning environments for our students? "My [Morgan Roberts] research in the fields of positive psychology and diversity and inclusion leads me to believe that to truly engage each and every employee, and to help them feel validated and rewarded, organizations need to cultivate four freedoms that allow people to bring their full humanity to work. 💡The freedom to be: The ability to bring our full, authentic selves to the workplace. 💡 The freedom to become: The ability to grow and improve our situations. 💡 The freedom to fade: The ability to periodically step back from the spotlight and performance pressure. 💡The freedom to fail: The opportunity for a second chance after a mistake."

Equity and inclusion are essential in any classroom setting. In our course, we value the diverse backgrounds and perspectives that each student brings to the table. We expect everyone to be respectful of each other's opinions, even when we don't see eye to eye. As we work together to build a strong community, I encourage all members to share their unique experiences, values, and beliefs. Let's be open to the views of others and honor the uniqueness of our classmates. We value each other's opinions and communicate in a respectful manner. It's important to keep our discussions confidential within the community. Let's reflect on how we can create an inclusive environment across Cornell. Together, we can foster a learning environment that promotes equity and inclusion for all. #equityandinclusion #diversitymatters
