Content: Equitable Strategies for the Classroom, School, and District
Equity in education requires the contribution of educators at every level, from teachers and school counselors, to principals and superintendents. Here are a few ways schools can improve equity: Diversify school staff. Create alternative disciplinary actions (when appropriate) that keep kids in the classroom. Build a support team that includes community partners to ensure underserved students get support outside of the classroom. Implement culturally-relevant teaching practices. Be aware of stereotypes and implicit biases and work to address them. For additional strategies, make sure to download our ebook. Measuring Equity and Making Improvements
