The Diversity Directions conference - held in 2019 from July 7 to 13 - consults exclusively to independent schools and is comprised of a team of educational leaders with deep professional experience in independent schools. Diversity Directions' philosophy is to meet the individual school where it is in its multicultural evolution and, using an inquiry-based approach, to provide concrete, practical steps to help the school reach its next level of development. Brooks is proud to host this prestigious event each year, and sends three-to-six faculty and staff members to attend.
