New Action Briefs: DEI Series

Translating business trends for the classroom: As we learn from the business community, we want to share that information with our own community of educators and business professionals. One trend repeatedly highlighted in our business focus panels is the increased focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across all career areas. We’ve dedicated a three-part series to the topic:

Part One, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace, is available. We recommend pairing this Action Brief with the following performance indicators (PIs) and lesson modules (LAPs):

  • EI:140 Explain the nature of effective communications (PQ) | LAP-EI-140

  • EI:064 Explain the nature of organizational culture (SP) | LAP-EI-064
  • HR:493 Explain the nature of leadership in organizations (SU) | LAP-HR-493
