Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I)
A core mission pillar for NAEA is tied to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I). Our GAEA membership has partnered with NAEA to further support this mission and vision. We have formed an ED&I committee and recently published a teacher resource guide on findings and best practices to further enrich our ED&I goals.
Special thanks to Kyle Robertson and Patrice Newell (GAEA ED&I special interest co-chairs) and Katie Ericson and Anna Doll (GAEA museum representatives) for their help.
