Leadership, Advocacy, and Innovation

The Leadership, Advocacy, and Innovation domain addresses issues of social justice and navigating supports and barriers in educational environments. This domain is assessed based on students’ abilities to (1) address social concerns through practice in educational settings; (2) identify and utilize resources and supports; and (3) design sustainable educational solutions that address current social concerns.

Course: LSE 401: Designing Learning Environments for Inclusion

Description: Diversity and Inclusion Workshop Using Universal Design-

• Summary: Develop a workshop for a field of your choice to educate colleagues about a key aspect of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Representation: Through this work, I was able to implement an educational solution and evaluate the social, environmental, and economic sustainability of the solution, design an educational system or program that addresses a specific problem/concern in an educational setting, and use a design process to improve an educational concern/issue.

Application: In this experience, I had to create a workshop that supported the inclusion of neurodiversity within the curriculum and school sites at Future For KIDS. This will be helpful when I am implementing change and inclusion for diverse individuals and communities that I will serve and collaborate with in the future of being a leader within an organization.
