🌟 Final DEIB Workshop of the School Year – Don’t Miss It! 🌟

We’re closing out the school year with one more inspiring session of the LWPTSA DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging) Committee series—and you won’t want to miss it!

🗓 Date: Wednesday, June 4th
🕦 Time: 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 Location: Zoom — REGISTER

đź§­ Workshop Topic: “Defining and Defending Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging”
As our Council transitions from using “DEI” to “DEIB,” we invite you to explore why “belonging” is a vital addition—and how it shapes the way we lead. Learn more about this shift in this article.

In this interactive session, we’ll unpack:
💬 Shared terminology to bring clarity and consistency
📖 Personal stories to illustrate the concepts
🛠️ Practical strategies for engaging in respectful, effective conversations—especially when facing resistance

To help set the stage for our discussion, we’re offering two brief articles in advance [Article 1] [Article 2]. These readings will provide helpful context and reflection points for all participants. đź“„ Let us know if you’d like a copy when you register!

💡 Let’s Finish the Year Strong—And “Belong” More, Together.
Thank you for your continued commitment to building inclusive, equitable and welcoming school communities. We look forward to learning with you!
