In 6-7 years time we will have new leaders within our international ecosystem. How are we going to help leaders develop the equity skills and dispositions needed today. I like the idea of mapping out what an equity focused leader does and how they behave.

To be able to share the evident expertise of this group with schools which are begining to navigate this journey.

Offer approaches, frameworks, guiding questions, characteristics, policies, all of which can be used and adapted for an individual school's context.

My best hopes for the ISADTF Leadership groups is to collaborate on and co-create outlines for pathways school leadership can navigate in designing and nurturing communities that embrace diversity in all manner of ways, and celebrate inclusion. I love the idea of defining dispositions for leaders.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope we can give a framework and structure for a new perspective on leadership where we support and inspire current leaders and future leaders towards true inclusivity and equity. Where we give a vision for what that might look like in terms of competencies and approaches necessary. We MUST redesign what leadership looks like, and help current and future leaders transform current practices and make this new vision appear practical and meaningful and within our grasp.

My best hope is to build an understanding of the different stages of DEIJ development. This big picture should come from the experience of the different members and the organizations, institutions, and schools they represent.
I would love to identify more accurately my own understanding and practice stage and also where the school I will be working is regarding DEIJ.

My Best hope is sharing best practices to ensure all stakeholders understand DEI and are full heartedley ready to implement it within the school environment and whole community.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that we can share what we are creating, using, trying so that we can learn from each other both policies and strategies to move toward a more inclusive school.

One hope would be for us to provide inspiring and practical tools for school leadership teams in different schools to first establish a safe and trusting space for them to engage with DEIJ issues amongst themselves. Leaning in to this journey with a solid commitment from leadership sets a positive and reassuring tone for the rest of the community. The strength of these relationships and genuine belief in the process will serve the community well in times of struggle and adversity with hard concepts and conversations. From this point, so much more will be possible to achieve with students, teachers, parents and school partners.

1. The outcomes defined will alter the experience of identities in the margins. 2. What we will develop will be used by systems and schools to have leverage and impact on students and adults. 3. It will live in the systems/schools - it will be defined, developed, monitored, reviewed and reflected upon. 4. It is anti racist and equity-focused. 5. Data from marginalised identities will be used in defining the outcomes. 6. Developing and nurturing capacity for educational leaders to be equity-focused, anti-racist in beliefs, behaviors, dispositions, decisions, and actions.

A framework that helps other communities to start this journey without having to be fully converted. Some Leaders are intimidated despite best intentions and never start. So a tool/framework that helps them on the journey, to learn along with their community.

My best hopes for this Committee would be to share actions, engage in dialogue and create resources that can support leaders as they navigate this work in their school context. Knowing that schools are all a different stages I would envisage finding ways to help with the deeper community 'why' and alignment that Lauren talked about. Finding ways to facilitate this journey for schools I think is the most challenging aspect - to be confident in clear collective purpose as a community to then build on this.

Transforming schools grounded on DEIJB - where students and adults can be our authentic selves because systems have been designed with identities in the margin in mind.

We are doing some good work with our community and I am eager to hear about the good work other leaders are doing in there schools and how might we support each other.  Perhaps a range of resources, e.g. continuums, suggested book studies, protocols, current research etc that I could make applicable to the context of my school and community. Also a mentor or partner school with a similar context and demographic.

I love the idea of creating a toolkit to support our work and wider community with the short term goals. I also love the idea of creating a "profile", if you will, of leadership competencies and skills in relation to this work. I think DEIJ is currently a stand-alone for many schools, when in actual fact, it needs to be part-and-parcel of everything we do, from learning & teaching, to wellbeing, to supporting a wide spectrum of learners, to global citizenship. It's all-encompassing. I liked what Joel said about how it is shared work amongst leadership, not necessarily a stand alone role.
