“The education gap is one of the major issues of our time. It significantly affects us all and requires and deserves our full attention and resources. Good people recognize that we can and must do better.”
Jeff Claus (Ithaca College)
What is Equity?
Equity is a measure of educational outcomes. Equity extends beyond the "level playing field" analogy and becomes the yardstick by which we measure the results of our educational system. When our system is truly equitable, it will be impossible to predict the academic success of our children based on race, class, or disability.
