Teachers, parents, and staff are welcome! The agenda items for this meeting are: How do we connect people to what is happening around D&E at MCS? We are discussing the possibility of audiovisual materials featuring MCS Montessori Voices and Places to communicate the activities conducted at different programs (and how to best incorporate these into already existing outlets, such as the MM and Facebook). How can we best support the D&E work in the classroom? We draw on our last parent-teacher education night to brainstorm ways to support diversity and anti-bias work in the MCS curriculum. Contact Gaby Valdivia (gabyvaldivia@hotmail.com), Megan Hughes (meganhughes789@gmail.com), or Iheoma Iruka Thompson (i.irukathompson@gmail.com) if you are interested in joining us. We work hard to make our meetings last no more than one hour (even with our ambitious agenda)! Even if you cannot attend meetings, we would love to speak with you one-on-one to hear your ideas about diversity and inclusion at MCS. Gaby Valdivia, with Megan Hughes and Iheoma Iruka Thompson Who are we? The MCS Diversity & Equity Committee is an active group of parents, alumni parents, faculty, and staff working together to help make our community more inclusive through parent and teacher opportunities in diversity education and by promoting equity, anti-bias teaching practices, and/or cultural competency in the curriculum. We are currently looking for more parent and staff representatives! Serving on this committee is fun, interesting, challenging, and a great way to connect with other parents and staff at different levels of the school. No formal experience is required. We typically meet once a month and stay connected between meetings via email.
