b'2 Create a Diverse, Equitableand Inclusive CommunityThat Fosters a Sense of BelongingOur approach to bringing greater Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging to Greenwood is focused on creating real, lasting change, and on ensuring that our entire community is moving towards this goal. We recognize that this work is always evolving, and that we must evolve with it; however, a critical part of our ongoing journey towards greater Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging is recognizing the progress we have made and using the knowledge gained through that progress to move forward.Appointing a Director, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Outreach:Rachael Brownell-Swain took on this role at Greenwood starting in September 2021. Throughout last year, Rachael worked with staff to ensure that all staff members have a foundational knowledge and understanding of anti-racist and anti-oppression education; she also began undertaking a systematic examination of Greenwoods structures and systems to ensure that they support Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.Creating benchmarks to measure progress: Benchmarking is criticalto ensuring that our work is undertaken with purpose. We used the Reimagining Integration: Diverse and Equitable Schools (RIDES) framework as an assessment tool to support and measure deep work in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging, and we will continue to return to these benchmarks in the future.Creating extracurricular opportunities for inclusive communitybuilding: We created several community-building opportunities using an inclusive framework last year. Grade 7 and 8 community outreach centred around rebuilding a community post-COVID, and all grade levels participated in intentional programming based on this objective.Conducting a curriculum audit: Each Subject Team Leader met withRachael last year to initiate a curriculum audit from a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging lens. This work will continue into the 2022-2023 school year.Delivering professional development: Rachael developed a five-phaseprofessional development plan for all staff for the 2021-2022 school year focusing on critical ideas such as avoiding performativity, positive intervention and planning for change. Staff will continue to build upon this strong foundation to create positive and inclusive communitiesat Greenwood.Greenwood Annual Report 2021/2022 6'
