All students deserve to experience a successful educational career, but due to one or more factors are not getting the opportunities and supports they need to achieve and thrive. These factors can include gender, race, socio-economic status, parental involvement, geographic location, perceived ability, home language, and many more. Educators can’t sit back and wait for political and institutional change. EquityEdu is a way for educators to both individually and collectively take a stand and create meaningful change in student learning experiences.

The intention of EquityEDU is to have a place to better understand issues and focus on the positive steps we can take. You might change your mind on an issue or see it from a new point of view. Issues can look different in different places. What you see in an east coast urban area can look very different from a suburban west coast region, rural regions, etc.
