Earlier this month, Trinity Johns, associate director of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, and Joshua Sussman, school counselor, attended the 2025 AISNE Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Conference in Waltham. With over 200 attendees from peer schools throughout New England, this was a wonderful opportunity to connect with colleagues and learn from experts about a variety of important topics
Highlighted by presentations from Priya Parker, Jason Reynolds, and Carlos Andres Gomez there was a running theme of building community with intentionality and reflecting on our personal stories. The topic sessions offered valuable curricular tools as well as opportunities to brainstorm and collaborate with colleagues from our peer school community.
We returned to campus buzzing with energy and ideas. While it is never easy to take time away from campus, this was a valuable experience that will enhance the overall experience of our students and staff here at Belmont Day. Thank you, BDS, for this opportunity, and we look forward to continuing to share our learning with the community.
