REEF is excited to offer a free series of professional development opportunities for educators and staff of nonprofit organizations in the Florida Keys. The program aims to provide tools, resources, and support to build an inclusive culture in schools, workplaces, and communities in the Florida Keys.
Learn how to integrate the best practices for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) into personal, professional, and academic spaces. Workshops are offered both in-person and online. Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged.
Online Opportunities: 2022 'Best IDEA' Learning Group
Live, expert-led sessions from Dr. Janelle Abela of Diverse Solutions guide participants to become better leaders, managers, teachers, and allies. Reinforce learning with tools and activities that can be implemented immediately while also measuring the long-term impact. This engaging and interactive six-session online training will have the same coach and group of participants every week as we work to create a culture of belonging in the Florida Keys community.
