This publication uses draft equity plans developed by three Reform Support Network pilot States to demonstrate several approaches to the development of State equity plans in response to the Secretary's Excellent Educators for All initiative. It summarizes how the State education agencies addressed each component of the equity plan and their insights into plan development. The paper concludes with lessons learned throughout the early cohort's work and recommendations that States might follow to develop their own equity plans. These recommendations are based on the experiences of the pilot States and are not formal guidance from the U.S. Department of Education.
