ED 7008 - Achieving Educational Equity

Participants enrolled in this course will develop skills in using data to identify inequities, mobilize local stakeholders to recognize the extent and importance of inequities, and to assess progress in improving students’ learning results, learning opportunities, and learning climate. Participants will also develop an understanding of important dimensions of educational equity and an appreciation of the factors of diversity (e.g., gender, socio-economics, race, language, and culture) and proven strategies and resources for addressing them. The goal is for the participants to understand and be able to develop a community of learners that has a positive impact on achievement. (3 credits)
