our commitment to
diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging
Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) has always been the tent-pole to our mission and vision of Saga Education. Our three-year plan DEIB Strategic Plan, spanning from 2022 to 2025, will provide overarching guidance for how our organization will work together. In 2022, we relaunched our DEIB Committee, a peer-run committee dedicated to celebrating, educating, and supporting DEIB efforts and initiatives.
As we engage with our DEIB Strategic Plan, we will use these components of our work to accelerate educational equity by:
- Communication
Ensuring many and varied voices and perspectives are considered. - Community
Sharing our proven strategies and partnering with those committed to improving public education. - Cultivation
Developing our team members to reach their highest professional potential. - Culture
Becoming intentional about embedding DEIB practices into our systems, structures, and operations.
our DEIB mission
To remain at the cutting edge of educational innovation and impact, we celebrate and leverage our diversity in all its intersectional identities and nurture a sense of belonging at all levels of the organization. We welcome ideas and perspectives from all employees to fulfill the full promise of our mission.
our DEIB vision
Our workforce is talented, diverse, and inclusive, which sustains our ability to be a national leader in high-impact tutoring. The following DEIB values hold to our vision, shape how we carry out our mission, and guide how we are expected to treat one another.
