DeEtta will share language and examples associated with best prac-
tices in developing cultural competence in schools and our commu-

the classroom. Concepts shared will enhance individual perspective
and have been effectively used in other Illinois school districts to en-
gage staff, students, and community members. Superintendents who attend this ses-
sion will have shared language and tools that could be pivotal in facilitating cross-
district collaboration.

OPTIONAL MONDAY AFTERNOON IDI PROFILE SESSION
LCS is excited to provide a very individualized quality opportunity for Fall Confer-
ence participants as an enhancement to DeEtta Jones’ cultural competence workshop.

sion to discuss and personalize the results. Then, the extended session on Monday of
the conference will delve deeper into next step leadership planning.
The Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®) is the premier cross-cultural as-
sessment of intercultural competence that is used by thousands of individuals and or-
ganizations to build intercultural competence to achieve international and domestic
diversity and inclusion goals and outcomes.
