Inclusive Excellence Leadership Program

The Inclusive Excellence Leadership Program (IELP) is designed to engage students in grades 10- 12 in the art of group dynamics and discussion facilitation as it pertains to the matters of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Participants of this program will experience a cohort-based series of training sessions focused on lesson/workshop design, conflict resolution and anti-racist practices. 

The goal of this initiative is to position students to facilitate DEI conversations within
their grade level. IELP Facilitators are required to:

1. Remain in good academic standing.
2. Demonstrate a commitment to the work of diversity, equity and inclusion by participating in ongoing skill building sessions, regularly attending meetings and successfully facilitating group discussions.
3. Maintain appropriate communication between students, faculty advisors, Grade Level Deans and the DEI Office.
4. Remain up to date on current events happening within the RPCS community and broader community.
5. Demonstrate a high level of empathy in various settings, especially during DEI conversations, ie: Commanding the room when necessary, maturity level…
6. Demonstrate behaviors that align with the core values of Roland Park Country School.
