Educational Equity 101: Assuring Success for All

Description

The promise of public education holds that all children – regardless of family circumstances –  can be placed on an equal footing to pursue their goals for college, careers and citizenship. Yet despite significant improvements, our efforts to provide an equal education to all still fall short of meeting that promise.

In this workshop, participants will explore how an “equal” education may be an insufficient goal. Public schools can be more effective working toward a view of “equity” which recognizes that some children may need more resources and support in order to become college- and career-ready graduates. Participants will learn where they can focus their efforts to improve equity in their school districts, and leave with tools to engage their communities in this difficult but vitally important work.
