The Everyday Inclusion App delivers diversity, equity and inclusion solutions that support inclusive values, create daily behavior change and embed inclusion in culture in a digital and scalable format on your cell phone. The app is available for all Central Rivers AEA staff to download and use. View the app download instructions document on the staff website to download and create your account. Please reach out to Gina Weekley, Coordinator of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, with any questions.
The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging page is available on the staff website and provides various resources for all staff to create awareness, educate and reinforce policies that support diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.
As a reminder from what was released from the Equity Audit, the “APA Equity, Diversity and Inclusion: Inclusive Language Guide” is an optional tool available to all staff to enhance learning and awareness of DEI terms and concepts.
Did you know… African American and Black are not always interchangeable.
- “African American” should not be used as an umbrella term for people of African ancestry worldwide because it obscures other ethnicities or national origins, such as Nigerian, Kenyan, Jamaican, Bahamian, Puerto Rican, or Panamanian.
- In these cases, use “Black.”
- The terms “Negro,” “colored,” and “Afro-American” are outdated; therefore, their use is generally inappropriate.
