Commitment to Fostering a Culture of Belonging
Creativity is only possible when we celebrate being our truest selves. At Davis, we are driven by the belief that fostering a culture of belonging in our society and in our schools makes humanity greater and creativity flourish. We are proud of our deep and longstanding celebration of individuality and work hard to be a representative publisher where students feel supported and a sense of belonging when using our materials.
We aim to do this through embracing the differences within our teams and authors, featuring underrepresented artists in our publications, and supporting educators and students from all backgrounds and walks of life. As artists and educators, we are in a unique position to encourage exploration and deep thinking through art. Our purpose is to provide meaningful resources for the individual needs of your students. Our goal is for all students to see themselves reflected in our pages regardless of gender, race, religion, nationality, ability, or background.
