Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice Statement

Vision to Action Collaborative consultants believe every student, educator, and education staff deserves robust, engaging, barrier-free opportunities to achieve their full potential. We root our partnerships in a firm, mutual commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and anti-racism to impact processes and systems within a school so students and adults thrive. In our partnership with schools, we will join together with them to:

 

• Identify, address, and eliminate bias in ourselves and others;

• Respect differences among us and within our partner schools;

• Identify and dismantle institutional or systemic barriers to success;

• Strengthen educators’ cultural responsiveness in instruction, curriculum, and communication with students, families, community members, and colleagues;

• Expand our own and partners’ cross-cultural competence;

• Create high-quality, rigorous learning experiences for students and educators;

• Equip educators to meet the educational needs of every student;

• Nurture and respect all aspects of students’ and colleagues’ identities; and

• Support the development and implement policies and procedures to advance anti-racism.
