One year later: DEIJ progress in international schools
Approaching the anniversary of George Floyd's murder and the subsequent global DEIJ mobilization, International School of Dakar's Dr. Nneka Johnson and the Association of International Educators and Leaders of Color's (AIELOC) Kevin Simpson join us to discuss how far the international school community has come and what work still needs to be done.
Dr. Nneka Johnson is the current Director of Innovation/DEI Coordinator at The International School of Dakar in Senegal, West Africa. She is also a member of the Association of International Schools in Africa (AISA) Professional Learning Design Team. In her role at ISD she wears many hats which include: Director of Innovation and Technology, DEI Coordinator, coordinating school accreditation, working with the board on the strategic plan, and organizing on-campus professional learning events. This is her first year leading DEI initiatives.
Prior to ISD, Nneka worked at an Independent School in Atlanta, GA for 13 years and within that time frame she lived in Sydney Australia for six months and worked for a private school as the Deputy Director of Innovation. Nneka holds a BA in Sociology from Queens College in New York City, an MS in Instructional Technology from Georgia State University, and a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction from Mercer University in Atlanta. Her doctoral dissertation centers on the fact that curriculum can change social media usage in adolescents. Not sure about this sentence
