DEIJ Hot TakesTips and advice

Joel Llaban invites us to become ‘Inquirers of Identity’ | DEIJ Hot Takes

Written by

“I think it is important for school leaders to be inquirers of identities, not only identities of other people or the people they serve or the students they serve, but also their own identity and how their positionalities or their history, the power they hold has an impact and influence on their leadership.”

If you have not yet had the privilege of being on a course or workshop facilitated by the fantastic Joel Llaban, here are some of his central approaches shared in a joyous conversation. As the Director of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice at International School Services, Joel’s expertise and experience can help you to better understand and take action in your journey to creating inclusive learning environments.

Listen now to hear:

  • What it means to be an ‘inquirer of identity’.

  • The importance of reciprocal responsibility in our communities, holding our leaders AND our communities accountable.

  • That creating an environment where all identities can belong includes our own identities as leaders.

Watch the full episode to learn a key approach to DEIJ work that can support your DEIJ journey.
