How do you use children’s literature to support meaningful conversations about diversity in second grade? I’m not just talking about “holidays around the world” or a really great read-aloud by itself.

I use Arnie and His School Tools by Jennifer Veenendall to talk about how everyone’s body works differently and my kids loved it. Some of them were able to relate to having a motor that runs too fast. I have a flexible seating classroom so we talk a lot about how different people need different tools to learn. It helps them all embrace who they are and help one another.

My school has time set aside for morning meetings. I use this time to do a read aloud and have students make connections to themselves by asking a question. I've created slides by months to make sure I don't repeat a book. For October we read many books about Dios De Los Muertos but also The Proudest Blue, Suki's Kimono, etc which show diversity.

The 2020 census data is interesting as we think about DE&I metrics in the work place. Should we strive to have our offices have this level of diversity so it matches what’s actually reflected in our population?

I am frustrated as a Gay Woman who has given her all for 30+ years grinding to be the best. I have been in closet, out of closet, in-between and am tired of it. I want to be VALUED as a human being. I have gone from Rock Star to problem when people "found out". I have trained and promoted hundreds of people and been passed over for promotions because of not being a man. I have trained men with less experience, worse results only for them to move forward. If Diversity is important...prove it!

Hello! It seems this bowl is not very active but I'd like it to be. So here's my story: Born & raised in PR, moved to CA for undergrad & have been here since then. I graduated from law school in 2019, followed by a 2 yr bk clerkship. I did the evening program. I really enjoyed law school, in spite of the microaggressions, the late nights, & crazy competition. Love all things diversity in the law. Anyway, currently looking for a position in NYC/DC area. 🤗

We are exploring having a third party come in and assess our I&D efforts across our company. We have many locations across North America. Is anyone aware of an entity who does this? We have found questionnaires through target organizations and have done anonymous employee surveys but are hoping to find someone who can do an assessment for gender, minorities, disabilities, 2SLGBTQ+, etc. and provide feedback on the actual employee experience and where we may have blind spots.

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
