IDEAs Seminar: Inclusive Language Training

The goal of Clarkston’s Inclusive Language Training is to better understand the historical context behind words or phrases that hold different meanings to different communities, as well as provide the tools and perspective to critically analyze new language that we experience moving forward with an inclusive lens.

Diverse Work Team

Our Perspective on DE+I Training:

  1. We think about the difference between knowledge and skills. We focus on less telling, more doing, with an emphasis on practical application of learned knowledge and skills.​
  2. We treat the learners as consumers on a journey, that starts from the will/need to learn a new skill to the application and mastery of the skill.
  3. We curate the experience and inject the right stimulus at the right time to ensure lessons are reinforced and skills applied.​ This allows learners to come to the “aha” moments and draw their own conclusions.
