AIM to Action: Vision & Strategy for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Take your AIM insights and activate innovation strategies for advancing your larger DEI goals

From Aim to Action is a three-day workshop designed for school teams who have previously completed NAIS’s Assessment of Inclusivity and Multiculturalism (AIM) process. Through the NAIS Strategy Lab’s tried-and-true vision and strategy model, this workshop will help teams continue to diagnose what their AIM insights reveal about their school and focus on areas of concern. Teams will apply innovation frameworks and engage in thought-exercises to generate exciting possibilities and plan for an effective implementation and roll-out of new ideas. School teams will leave with a pitch deck and a concise and compelling story that outlines how their AIM findings have led to innovative approaches to reach their larger DEI goals.

Topics Covered

  • Cast or refine your school’s DEIB vision with clarity and purpose.
  • Identify key areas for improvement based on your AIM findings.
  • Strategically plan a pathway forward to foster an inclusive school environment that aligns with your overall strategic goals.

  • Caroline Blackwell, Vice President of Equity and Justice, NAIS
  • Mark Mitchell, Vice President of Access and Affordability, NAIS
  • Jackie Wolking, Director of Innovation Programs, NAIS 
  • Tony Hernandez, Program and Training Manager, NAIS
