How are teachers to become absolutely trained?<\/p>\n<p>Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is about reflection and dialogue, it\u2019s about enabling everyone to bring their authentic selves to the classroom or work. If diversity is the science (of metrics) then inclusion is the art, and equity means equal access.In the classroom it is about providing mirrors, so you see yourself, and windows, so you see others. Thanks to Veronica for telling us more about this topical idea. <br \/>What about you? Do you bring your authentic self to work or school? What would make that easier?
