Leadership

The equity leadership strand includes support with examining, monitoring, and celebrating staff, student and community equity work. Focus will be on monitoring stakeholder engagement, ensuring deliberate awareness of whose story is being included (and how it is being included) in all education aspects, creating a system of belonging for everyone, and communicating effectively.

Classroom

The equity classroom strand includes support with examining curriculum, assessment, materials and teaching strategies to provide appropriate opportunities and cultural knowledge for all students. Focus will be on assisting districts with building the capacity of teachers and support staff with the needed cultural knowledge, ensuring a safe and equitable environment, and a willingness and ability to put these into deliberate teaching and learning practices.

Systems

The equity systems strand includes support for school and district leaders in examining policies/procedures, systems of support, data collection and use for program decisions, professional learning, and necessary protocols for all district staff (leaders, specialists, teachers, paraprofessionals, office personnel, food service workers, building maintenance, transportation workers, school board members, etc.). Focus will be on conducting a district equity audit that can provide a road map for technical and adaptive systems change and sustained learning for all stakeholders.
