Fostering Equity Literacy with In-Service Teachers. Community Engagement Initiative. Practice Brief
Baugher, Erin; Wilson, Chanelle; Soslau, Elizabeth
Partnership for Public Education
A commitment to equity in our schools ensures that every student has the access and opportunity necessary to thrive in school, regardless of race, ethnicity, language, citizenship status, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ability, and so on. Creating and sustaining equitable spaces requires examination of the discriminatory policies and practices that perpetuate inequitable access to learning opportunities. The most common question we receive from school leaders: "how do we begin this work?" The following points of consideration and resources -- based on research-based best practices and experiential knowledge gained from engaging in equity-learning with in-service teachers -- are intended to serve as a guide for district and school leaders looking to begin or further equity-oriented professional learning in their spaces.
Descriptors: Inservice Teacher Education, Equal Education, Diversity, Reflection, Faculty Development, Self Concept, Identification (Psychology), Group Membership, Race, Communities of Practice
