ADoT Diversity Statement (ADOPTED 10/18/2020):

The Associate and Assistant Deans and Directors of Texas (ADoT) stands for leadership in educator preparation that is inclusive of human diversity.  As a collective group of leaders in educator preparation programs across Texas, we recognize, respect and celebrate diversity and unique perspectives inclusive of learning and physical abilities, age, gender identities, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, language, culture, race, ethnicity, faith-based religion, spirituality, and other groups historically marginalized and oppressed.  We will exemplify and amplify culturally affirming, sustaining, and anti-racist tenets.  We believe these principles are imperative for leaders and teacher educators across the state and the nation to guide and develop educators and leaders for future generations of global citizens.
