Helpful Ideas for Your Journey to True Diversity & Inclusion Globally, organizations are committing to Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) at higher rates than ever, with 87% of respondents indicating that D&I is a stated value or priority for their organization. However, for many organisations, the commitment does not extend past a statement in their annual report and allowing diversity groups the time and space to meet. Many business leaders surveyed still acknowledge that being a member of a Minority group is a barrier to employee progression. While there is solid research year on year to show that greater diversity and inclusion leads to improved business performance, many companies are still catching up. In this session, we will acknowledge the difference between Diversity and Inclusion at work and explore what leading companies are doing to enhance both. We will also acknowledge the continuing role of unconscious bias and explore strategies for minimising its impact. What good D&I looks like What one thing makes the most difference in getting a D&I strategy embedded in the culture 5 additional examples of the most successful D&I strategies What you can do to improve your organisation's D&I environment no matter your role
Educational Agility in the Modern World. Why School Leaders Need Agile/ SCRUM Strategies Our world is changing by the second. Each day, we race to catch up with mounting responsibilities, media streams, and new projects. As educational leaders, we work extensively to explore one pressing question: How do we wisely educate amidst a sea of constant change? In an era where information is plentiful, new strategies are in demand for learners. Schools, teachers, parents, and students need tools for centering ourselves and the important work we do. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
