Educational Equity
Educational equity means that all students should have access to the right resources they need at the right moment in their education, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, language, religion, family background, or family income (The Aspen Institute). Authored by our team of applied learning scientists, we have developed 10 guiding principles to empower school leaders to drive an educational equity initiative.
