Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB)

WEBPAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Welcome to the SCSD DEIB Webpage!

In fall of 2020, SCSD embarked on a partnership with Inclusion Counts to advance Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) in the San Carlos School District. We formed a steering committee of staff, parents and community members (see right-hand margin) in order to ensure our priorities, goals and actions related to these areas are reflective of our diverse community voices.

Accomplishments:

Inclusion Counts conducted listening sessions with different stakeholder groups from the district and used that information to provide an Equity Report with a list of recommendations.
The steering committee has reviewed those recommendations and created an action plan with a 3-year timeline of goals, action items and metrics
The steering committee has created a mission and vision statement (see below) to guide our work in this area
All certificated staff have received professional development from Inclusion Counts

We look forward to furthering this work in partnership with all community and school stakeholders!

SCSD Diversity Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Steering Committee Mission & Vision Statements

Mission:
We, the staff, students, families and community of San Carlos School District, commit to the values of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in our daily and ongoing educational practice.

Our goal is to incorporate diverse perspectives within the 5C’s (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, citizenship and creativity) so that every student feels and helps others feel safe, valued, respected, affirmed, included and connected to their school community and the world around them.

Vision:
We strive to create learning environments in each of our schools that provide a diverse, inclusive educational experience that is free from bias for every student.

By providing the tools every student needs to engage with a variety of perspectives utilizing empathy, understanding, cultural awareness, critical thinking & advocacy, we will prepare students to positively engage in a diverse world.
