Today we’re exploring a topic that’s at the heart of school leadership: how elementary school principals are integrating Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging—DEIB—into their teachers' professional learning.

Hello, and welcome to today's episode. My name is Kiana Hunter. I will be discussing how principals can create and implement a comprehensive plan for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) in elementary schools.

Hello my name is Kennedy Patillo. I am going to talk about what principles should do when it comes to requiring teachers to commit to promoting all children’s belonging in a professional way.

I am one of your host, sheridan darnell, and I’m thrilled to kick off our very first episode today with a focus on Universalism and its role in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging—or DEIB—initiatives in elementary education.

Today’s topic is inspired by bell hooks’ powerful book Teaching to Transgress.
