Transforming Systems of Single Best Practices to Educational Equity Quantum Ten: An Equity Framework
Sullivan, Talisa
Journal of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, v4 n1 2020
Our most underserved student groups have been marginalized for centuries in school systems that impose upon them traditional American culture, thereby perpetuating the cycle of marginalization. Many educational organizations use evidence-based approaches that aim to create equity for all and are often introduced in silos, duets, trios, or even quartets. Likewise, some educational institutions, districts and schools create equity plans related to positive academic, behavioral, and social emotional outcomes, employing one or two evidenced-based approaches. The California Department of Education (CDE) has defined equity as "Fair outcomes, treatment, and opportunity for all students" (CDE, 2019); that is, every student gets what they need when they need it. Schools often have objectives and/or checklists to be certain they are adhering to local funding goals and equity plans. While it is important to analyze plans to make sure goals are met, it is equally vital to note that equity is not a target, an objective, or a checklist--it is a journey, a process, and a mindset. Equity is an action. As we move toward this journey through a process of changing our mindsets and creating equitable outcomes for all learners, the researcher introduces the Quantum Ten Equity Framework (Q10). Q10 integrates best practices and enhances systems. This framework is designed to positively impact every student. Q10 is an integration of evidence-based approaches aligned to all best practices aimed at creating equitable and sustainable systems that eliminate chasms, making access and opportunity available to every student.
