What Is Equity?
Simply put, equity gives each student what they need to succeed. It differs from equality, which provides the same measures to all students, regardless of need. An equity-minded framework requires us to be conscious of the academic achievement gap and work to reduce it. This begins by changing policies and practices to better support each individual student. Our approach toward equity is centered on Estela Bensimon's definition of equity-mindedness and Frank Harris' concept of equity.
