Basic Principles of Equity Literacy
Content: Equity initiatives focus, not on “fixing” students and families who are marginalized, but on transforming the conditions that marginalize students and families. ​The One Size Fits Few Principle: No individual identity group shares a single mindset, value system, learning style, or communication style. Identity-specific equity frameworks (like group-level "learning styles") almost always are based on simplicity and stereotypes, not equity. ​The Evidence-Informed Equity Principle: Equity approaches should be based on evidence for what works rather than trendiness. “ Evidence” can mean quantitative research, but it can also mean the stories and experiences of people who are marginalized in your institution.
