The Assessment of Inclusivity and Multicultural (AIM) is a tool developed by the National Association of Independent School to evaluate the climate of a school as it pertains to inclusivity and multiculturalism. I accompanied my Head of School to this particular workshop, because will be implementing this assessment at our School. This will be my second time coordinating AIM, and I am excited to begin the process. AIM allows the entire community to productively and effectively engage in conversations of diversity, inclusiveness, and multiculturalism. Additionally, it gives voice to each constituency of the School.  AIM is a two-part assessment providing both quantitative and qualitative data through focus groups and an online survey. AIM was a community building experience for my previous school, and the community was better equipped to identify and implement diversity initiatives. I look forward to embarking on a similar journey with Greenhill School and engaging our members in meaningful dialogue about issues related to diversity and equity.
