Fulfilling Our Promise: Becoming Inclusive Communities

In our signature online course, Alma Partners will accompany participants through eight modules that will acquaint them with the inclusion and belonging landscape and lay the groundwork for transformative change in their communities.

In addition to working through the content in the online course, participants meet monthly in a cross-school facilitated discussion of the material.

Each module has a different focus and builds on the work of the previous module. Topics covered include: participant-centered facilitation, DEIJ key concepts, microaggressions and microinterventions, racial identity development, inclusive admissions, and more!

Our aim is that Fulfilling Our Promise can inform participants and their school communities—enriching awareness, connection across differences, and ultimately the safety and belonging of all students, faculty, staff, families, and individuals.

Participants will:

• Engage in self-selected learning tracks that meet their needs and reflect their identities

• Interact with a variety of carefully curated content that includes reading, writing, video, audio, and self-reflective, creative activities

• Develop tools for facilitating participant-centered conversations in their school communities and with colleagues on DEIJ key concepts and course content

• Connect across schools, as a part of a cohort who meets monthly (twice in November) for inspiration and shared learning
