How do you define educational equity?

My early experiences as a student shaped my definition of equity as a teacher and as an administrator. I firmly believe that all children have the capacity to learn and develop proficiency in multiple areas at once. What makes the difference is the support that is provided to a student in order to help them reach excellence. Educational equity consists of identifying barriers that prevent students from fully engaging in their education and then providing the support and resources they need to address them.
