When everyone is given the same task with the same resources and support, this is equality … not equity.
To achieve equity in education, we must recognize the experiences and background of every student and use this information to build their educational experience.
Affirmations of cultures, communities, and student identities
Social emotional learning
Relationships with students and families
Project-based learning
Opportunities for student-led civic engagement and leadership
Resources developed by racially, culturally, and linguistically diverse perspectives
Instructional strategies that adapt to the individual needs of students
Diversity, equity, and inclusion training for educators
Relationships
It is important to provide learning spaces where students feel safe and valued. Making connections is key to building emotional resilience and trust. Building relationships with families strengthens learning and promotes equity. That student-family-teacher connection is critical for success and results in positive learning outcomes.

The learning environment
Its demand for high expectations and rigor
Inclusivity and integration of culturally responsive learning best practices
The curriculum’s ongoing professional learning opportunities and support
