The Iconic Pledge

OUR WHY: We decided to create this pledge because, as youth, we see and experience exclusivity in our classrooms. We hope that teachers who take the pledge can foster an environment where students feel welcomed, included, and safe. We hope that students and teachers will also carry these values of inclusivity outside the classroom.


OUR PROCESS: At Bridge Builders CHANGE, we value community input. We created the ICONIC Pledge and then gathered insight from the community about the criteria. We then revised the criteria to ensure that the pledge reflected the community’s needs.


WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE THE ICONIC PLEDGE: Young people struggle to feel safe in their growth as students when their whole selves are not accepted in the classroom space. Many teachers have a desire but are inadequately prepared with the tools to implement inclusive practices in their classrooms. This pledge is an opportunity for teachers to collaborate with students to create classroom environments that celebrate all students and their identities.
