Since May 2020, many large school districts and corporations have implemented diversity and inclusion training for their employees. However, they have often relied on traditional diversity training programs. These programs, which cover topics such as implicit bias, have been consistently proven to yield marginal or ineffective results, dividing employees and making them resentful toward one another. These programs consciously offend some participants to make a point, and they offend other participants when they do not explain the history or reasons why people feel and think the way they do. Much of this has been counterproductive, which has led to resentment and ineffective results in the workplace. It is foolish to believe that any training discussion that offends half the room could ever be effective, and it is not surprising that schools and corporations want to avoid this outcome.
The sole purpose of diversity training should be to promote organizational growth. If the training does not lead to growth, it is a waste of time and resources. Moving the organization forward should be the target of all diversity training programs.
In 2020, I wrote the book Closing the Race Gap: How an Educator Can Effectively Approach the Issue of Race at School and a Workplace Environment. This book has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from thousands of professionals because it highlights the need for the race and diversity issue to be addressed through a process. The book provides a starting point to clarify how we should discuss race in a workplace environment. There is a difference between how you speak at your place of business and how you speak in the community, on a talk show, or on your social media account; professionals must be aware of and understand this. It also highlights that race management is an ongoing growth and development process that should focus first on building trusting peer relationships and then on building trusting relationships with students and their families (in a school environment). Diversity training must follow this process to be effective and to ensure that organizations experience the growth and development that we all sorely want to see take place.
In this training, we will clearly identify the steps to eliminate race as a barrier in coworker relationships within an organization. This training will address and clarify the following topics:
· why social class mentalities and values have complicated the coworker relationship and how we should address it moving forward
· the process of race management in the workplace
· how to identify your organizational culture level as it applies to race management
· common errors that we make in this process that make the situation worse
· how to identify the trust level among your organization’s staff
· the challenges to building trusting relationships between coworkers of different races and ethnicity
· how to simplify race in the workplace
· how to improve your communication skills with coworkers
· how to improve organizational communication
· how to develop productive listening skills for effective results
· problems with the relationship-building concept
· understanding the difference between relationships and relating
· how to build bridges with people from different social backgrounds and cultures
· things to say and not to say to improve workplace relationships with coworkers
· Twenty-one dos and don’ts for building and maintaining trust in coworker relationships
This is an inclusive training that addresses the needs and issues of all cultures and races. This training will not promote a divisive or accusatory approach to the issue of diversity and race. However, it will include an independent self-evaluation, which will help all professionals identify and understand the personal values and history that shape their approach to race and people. Only when we understand ourselves can we seek to understand others.
This is online course is for ALL superintendent, principals, dean of students and other security personnel.
