Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Practice

Committed to Inclusive and Equitable Education

The presence of an inclusion and belonging practitioner is a key contributor in ensuring a school community is one that values the diversity of people, ideas, and perspectives.

We believe that the work of equity, belonging, and inclusion ensures that a school’s mission is realized for every member of its community. It is the driving force behind a school’s value proposition and its promise to promote the well-being of every community member. A school committing to a designated person charged with oversight and guidance in these areas increases its ability to navigate these complex aspects of a school’s growth.

Our Experience – Carney Sandoe understands we have an important role to play in helping your school work toward creating the more inclusive and welcoming community to which you aspire. We leverage our broad network of candidates in our search practice, our experience in helping schools advance in these areas through our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Consulting Practice, as well as our firm-wide commitment to equity and inclusion, to help you build the best teams for the job. Our DEIB Search Practice is well positioned to help you build the best team.

Our Team – We also recognize the complexities of doing this job well have increased. Our team of consultants brings years of experience of working in DEIB roles in schools to the table. They take the time to get to know your school’s culture, needs, and goals in order to provide you with precisely the right candidates.

Your Next Leader – Roles dedicated to furthering DEIB work in schools come by a number of monikers. Whether you are hiring for institution-wide, division-wide, enrollment, or a curriculum and instruction focus, we are dedicated to helping you find a strategic leader for roles including:

  • Assistant Head of School for Community, Equity, and Belonging
  • Executive Director for Community and Belonging
  • Director of Community, Equity, and Belonging
  • Associate Dean of Financial Aid, Equity, and Access
  • Dean of Inclusive Excellence

Carney Sandoe’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Consulting Practice

In addition to helping schools and organizations hire strong leaders, we partner with schools and organizations to critically and thoughtfully examine equity and inclusion through our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Practice. Our consultants work closely with you to help build a trajectory that meets your needs. Through workshops, seminars, trainings, speaking engagements, and other forms, we specialize in topics including implicit bias, cultural competency, hiring and retention, admissions, campus climate, and a variety of related issues.
