Description

Educational Equity Learning Forward defines equity as the outcome of educator practices that respect and nurture all aspects of student identity rather than treat them as barriers to learning. Building equity takes leadership at every level – in classrooms, schools, districts, and beyond – and everyone can learn to be an equity leader. Equity is both an outcome and component of professional learning. • An explicit emphasis on equity in, for, and through professional learning is woven throughout draft revised Standards for Professional Learning. • Equity in professional learning systems happens when educators attend to its presence in the conditions for professional learning, the processes of professional learning, and the content of professional learning. • Learning Forward has long held the expectation that professional learning is a critical equity lever and that Standards for Professional Learning make it possible for more educators to experience high-quality professional learning. When more educators experience high-quality professional learning, more students experience high-quality teaching and learning. • Equity is central to and embedded throughout existing Standards for Professional Learning (published in 2011). Updates represented in draft revised Standards for Professional Learning reflect recent developments and needs in the field. Go to: http://www.learningforwardga.org/ for updated information.
