Uprooting Inequities in Schools [Live Online Summit]

This live online summit is hosted by Education Week.

It remains all too common that a student’s race, neighborhood, or family income are strong predictors of the educational opportunities they can access in their K-12 years—the essence of inequity. Most K-12 leaders believe all children deserve an equitable education, no matter their background or circumstances, but most of them struggle to confront the range of inequities in their schools and districts—much less root them out.

In this virtual summit, Education Week reporters and expert guests discuss the hard work behind confronting inequities such as challenging educators’ longstanding biases and practices, re-allocating resources across schools to support opportunities for all students, and removing barriers to advanced coursework.
