Task 7.0: DEI EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLAN MGT believes that high quality staff training can elevate and accelerate Pleasanton's commitment to promote and sustain a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Dr. Browne,the project's executive has nearly two decades of experience designing meaningful, practical, and participant-centered training that meets staff where they are, while engaging them in fun, thought-provoking activities, conversations, initiatives that challenge people in a way that is inclusive, empathetic, patient, and understanding, with a sense of urgency. We believe that A) Learning is most effective when participants engage in multiple"at- bats"to practice what they've learned and B) Impact is maximized when learning is translated into action. To this end, each session will be composed of training facilitation, live practice, and action planning. A key differentiator that separates MGT's adult learning approach from other The MGT companies is the critical marriage between content knowledge and pedagogical Difference expertise. While many consultants and trainers are competent in what participants need to learn, very few are skilled in the art of instruction and adult learning. Our training team includes DEI content experts as well as instructional specialists who are adept at delivering engaging sessions that create a safe space for participants to be honest, respectfully critical, self-reflective, and driven to maximize impact. 7.1 Evaluation of Ongoing Training Needs ($4,500) MGT will use the DEI Action Plan progress assessment, past learning experiences, and solicited information from staff and leaders to determine ongoing DEI training and/or executive coaching needs. This will inform the design of ongoing training opportunities for new or existing employees that are necessary to support ongoing and future DEI efforts. DELIVERABLE • Comprehensive DEI Staff Training Plan 7.2 DEI Executive Coaching&Training* MGT will design and facilitate individual coaching and team and organizational wide training on pertinent DEI topics. Because we believe in making ourselves obsolete,we design our session in a way that allows our clients to own their learning. Our train-the-trainer materials will be shared with Pleasanton leadership so that they can continue training new and existing employees to have greater self-awareness of their biases, implicit or otherwise, know how to function with an equity lens, and act in a manner that provides a sustainable culture of DEI throughout the organization for years to come.Training sessions may include the topics listed below and/or session descriptions listed on the following page. Potential Training Topics • Implicit Bias: Meaning, impact, and how to recognize and manage it ❖ Community Engagement: Best practices for soliciting public input from hard-to-reach populations • Systemic Racism: What is it and how to recognize it • Micro-Aggressions: How to recognize them and respond appropriately when encountering them ��►� MGT PAGE 12
