Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
In this edition of Leaders in Education, we are bringing you the latest diversity, equity, and inclusion resources.
Voices, Tools, and Resources for Equity in Education
Resources for educators who are committed to redesigning their schools so that education can be a force for equity and human flourishing. This collection of resources is drawn from diverse voices, tools built in collaboration with equity-focused partners, and resources from organizations with Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) founders and leaders.
Goals are a concrete way to drive results, but how can you be sure to do it equitably? Introducing… SMARTIE goals! By adding an equity and inclusion component (that’s the IE part!) to your SMART goals, you can make sure that your organization’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is anchored by tangible and actionable steps.
How the World’s Most Admired Companies Drive D&I
Although many organizations have made great strides in becoming more diverse and inclusive, news headlines demonstrate how far we still have to go before all employees have full opportunities to contribute and succeed and before workforces reflect the demographics of society. Companies that lag behind their competitors in diversity will find it more difficult to attract top talent and build a good reputation among employees.
Baltimore Students Protest For Anti-Racist Curriculum: ‘We Don’t Know The Truth’
Students want to learn about successful Black uprisings and the history of white supremacy. They want a history unit dedicated to the role Black women played in the civil rights movement. The changes students are calling for can be slow-moving. History textbooks can take up to a year, or longer, to rewrite and republish; however, students say they’re encouraged by districts that are swiftly removing police from campuses and scraping the names of Confederate leaders off of buildings. Curriculum changes may come fast, too.
The No. 1 Strategy for True Inclusion in the Workplace
Many modern workplaces are striving to become more diverse and inclusive. But too often, organizations struggle to determine how, exactly, to put diversity and inclusion (D&I) into practice. Wide demographics alone won't make a difference to an organization's bottom line unless the people within those demographics feel authentically welcomed.

Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
Ready to write a cover letter but unsure of how to start? Here’s the process I follow every time:
- Copy and paste the target job description into Word/Google Doc.
- Read the job description multiple times and highlight main themes. Bonus points for creating a word cloud to help you visualize main themes and key words.
- Draft answers to the following questions: :
- What is this company/organization’s mission? What problems does it exist to solve?
- What about this organization’s mission and purpose resonates with me?
- Why am I excited about performing the key elements of this role?
- What skills and past professional experiences will I leverage in order to add value in this particular role?
- Using answers to the questions above, write a cover letter which explicitly states your interest in the role, organization, and alignment between your experience/interests and this position.
- Edit, edit, edit!
Following this process will allow you to personalize your pitch and position yourself as a stronger candidate.
