CASDA and The McLean Group

Partners Pursuing Educational Equity

CASDA Executive Director recently sat down
with Kathleen McLean, president of The

McLean Group, CASDA's newest Corporate
Partner. The McLean group provides
consulting, coaching and training on
diversity for the New York State

government, county agencies, non-profits
and academic institutions. They utilize
research-based tools such as Strengths
Finder 2.0 and the IES (Intercultural

Effectiveness Scale) to guide and customize
their work. The McLean Group's strategic approach to training involves four stages of
sustained work: Discover/Design, Internalization, Train the Trainer Model and

Implementation/Action. CASDA is excited to partner with the McLean Group
and offer our members a discounted price on cultural responsiveness and implicit
bias training contracted through CASDA with the McLean Group's expert trainers.
