How do you define educational equity?

Educational equity to me is working to ensure that ALL students have equal opportunities and access to a quality education. Educational equity recognizes that students come from diverse backgrounds and thus have different and diverse needs. Our job as educators is to eliminate disparities and systematic barriers to provide fair and equitable treatment, resources, and opportunities to students.  We must work to ensure that student feels like they belong at their school no matter their circumstances. We must create an inclusive learning environment that supports every student in reaching their full potential. We must equip educators with the mindset and knowledge to do this work as well.
