Across the nation schools have found themselves at the epicenter of political disputes related to race and equity. This session will describe the use of an equity-centered framework in districts to engage students, especially those who are typically underserved by public education. The framework includes four key areas of educational equity as offered by the Great Lakes Equity/MAP Center: access, representation, participation, and high quality outcomes.
