What is Equity?
Equity means every learner is inspired and empowered to fully develop their individual talents, gifts, and academic and social potential, no matter their race, gender, ethnicity, language, ability, family income, sexual orientation, or any other factor.
Equity Requires:
Developing and nurturing a true sense of empowerment and belonging for every learner; interrupting inequitable practices; and ensuring equally high expectations and outcomes for every learner.
Evidence of Equity
Success in equity work is evidenced by reducing or eliminating *predictable disparities in learner experiences and outcomes based on students’ demographic identities.
*Predictable because data trends reflect that the educational system in its current state has historically and repeatedly marginalized certain student groups.
