Welcome to the Inclusion Dashboard Consortium (IDC)

Empowering Schools with Data-Driven Inclusion Strategies

At the Inclusion Dashboard Consortium, we believe that true inclusion is the cornerstone of a thriving educational environment. Founded by Kalyan Ali Balaven, JD, our mission is to help schools measure and enhance their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts through comprehensive, data-driven tools and methodologies.

Introducing "Inclusion Equation"

We are thrilled to announce the release of "Inclusion Equation," a groundbreaking new book that explores the innovative Inclusion Equation—a formula that balances diversity, equity, and belonging to create truly inclusive educational spaces. Through real-life case studies, practical tools, and actionable insights, "Inclusion Equation" provides educators with the knowledge and strategies needed to foster a supportive and inclusive school culture.

Excerpt from "Inclusion Equation"

"Inclusion is not a special interest; it is the foundation of a thriving educational environment. Throughout my career, I have emphasized the profound impact that true inclusion has on both students and educators. The purpose of inclusion is not merely to accommodate diverse needs but to actively embrace and celebrate them, fostering a community where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute.

The Inclusion Equation provides a systematic approach to measuring and improving inclusion within educational institutions. By understanding and manipulating the levers of diversity, equity, and belonging, schools can take actionable steps to enhance their inclusion efforts and create environments where every student feels valued and supported."
