Jedi Glossary Common Language Terms

DEIJ or JEDI?

Inspired by our commitment to create a just and sustainable world (AISL Vision), AISL is committed to promoting JUSTICE, EQUITY, DIVERSITY, and INCLUSION (JEDI).

The focus of our JEDI work is as follows:

• Cultivate a diverse and  inclusive school community by fostering a safe environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and a sense of belonging.   
• Design and implement environments, curricula, and instructional methods that validate and reflect the diversity, identities, and experiences of our students.
• Recruit, retain and develop faculty/staff and leaders of the highest quality by emphasizing excellence and all aspects of diversity in hiring decisions 

We use a common language to describe and inform our learning and understanding.  

Through our learning and understanding, we foster a sense of hope, an impetus to act, and a firm belief that standing up for justice and inclusion is both the responsible and right thing to do.
