Diversity Collaborative
COMMUNITY
About the diversity collaborative
The Diversity Collaborative was first established in 2017, with 17 founding members. Today, the Diversity Collaborative has more than 1,000 members and is growing.
OUR MISSION
The Diversity Collaborative (DC) is committed to creating and sustaining a more diverse, inclusive, equitable, and just international school community through our focus on leadership.
OUR VISION
We recognize that diversity without equity, inclusion, and justice is insufficient and can perpetuate ongoing harm. Therefore, we strive not only to recognize and redistribute power, but also to eradicate the systems and structures in place that cause and have caused injustice, inequity and exclusion. We aspire to see the leadership of international schools reflect the global majority.
OUR COMMITMENTS
To realize our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, the Diversity Collaborative wholeheartedly challenges all leaders, international schools and associated organizations to address the absence of diverse leadership in formal leadership positions. Concurrently, we acknowledge that anyone in a school can demonstrate leadership by serving as an agent of change. The Diversity Collaborative (DC) conducts research on the leadership pipeline and recruitment practices, provides leadership development, and advocates for international school communities to (1) critically reflect on diversity or the lack thereof, (2) develop equity-minded stakeholders, (3) promote inclusive environments, and (4) serve as social justice activists.
Diverse Professional Development Consultants
We seek to provide a space and platform where leaders and learners from different schools, organizations, and communities can access and benefit from diverse professional development consultants’ experiences and expertise. Find facilitators and consultants who offer professional learning experiences that educate and inspire participants to be agents of change.
