Ten Guiding Principles for Equity in Education

The white paper outlines a comprehensive framework for fostering equity in educational settings. It is divided into three main sections: adopting an equity mindset, driving an equity plan, and expanding an equity vision.

The first section emphasizes the importance of commitment, self-reflection, and inclusive communication to build a culture of equity. The second section focuses on actionable strategies, such as providing social and emotional supports, addressing institutional inequities, implementing culturally responsive teaching, and maintaining high expectations for all students. The third section highlights the need for ongoing professional development, soliciting feedback, and perseverance to sustain positive change.
