Description

Many Voices, One Clarke: Journey Toward Equity

Critical racial and social issues of recent years prompted Clarke’s call to action as an organization committed to serving all children and families. This presentation introduces our journey and organizational framework toward gaining cultural competence that began with administrative endorsement and creation of Clarke’s Anti-racism, Inclusion and Diversity (AID) Committee.

During this session, participants will:

  • Identify steps to create a conceptual framework and model for addressing anti-racism, inclusion and diversity, and achieving cultural competence.
  • Describe organizational strategies to ensure board, program and faculty/staff participation in the planning, delivery, and evaluation of the core functions of anti-bias educational programming.
  • Identify resources for self-assessment and the improvement of cultural and linguistic competence.
