The outcome of embracing diversity, choosing to support equity and taking action to promote inclusion is a sense of belonging. However, how can we ask ourselves or our colleagues to provide more inclusive programming if a positive sense of belonging hasn’t personally been experienced?
Watch this webinar recording to gain key learnings and insights on how to develop a sustainable Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) approach in early education and care programs and organizations with Glory Ressler, the Director of Strategy, Policy and Quality Assurance at the Canadian Mothercraft Society. We will be taking a deep dive into how DEI planning and practices need to be developed from the “Inside Out” in order to be effective and sustainable, rather than simply performative and externally focussed.
Glory Ressler share details and insights on the Canadian Mothercraft Society’s comprehensive plan that embeds DEI into all aspects of the organization. The session concludes with some provocative questions designed to promote reflection on your own work.
