According to the Midwest and Plains Equity Assistance Center, “educational equity is when educational policies, practices, interactions, and resources, are representative of, constructed by, and responsive to all people such that each individual has access to, can participate, and make progress in high-quality learning experiences that empower them towards self-determination and reduces disparities in outcomes regardless of individual characteristics and cultural identities.” Read More

A Path Toward Advancing Educational Equity and Excellence
Considering there is a national and global equity focused call to action, the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) engaged in a process to institutionalize and operationalize Equity and Excellence to address educational inequities. This process included creating an educational case for engaging in Equity and Excellence, policy development, capacity building to engage in equity work, an inclusive and comprehensive data collection methodology, data meaning making, as well as an equity and excellence plan and scorecard development. Thus, this 2-session presentation will provide participants with an understanding of educational equity, share tools to assist educational institutions in drafting data-informed equity and excellence policy/plans, as well as provide a framework to score and measure progress in advancing equity. It will further share how to approach equity and excellence in an inclusive manner, as well as how to confront any resistance that may arise from educational institutions prioritizing this work.

Equity and Excellence: Educating all Students
With the implementation of IMSA’s Equity and Excellence Plan, we are tasked with ensuring that our curriculum and instructional strategies meet the needs of all of our students particularly through a lens of equity. One of the Plan’s outcomes is to “Differentiate resources as necessary to provide every student with access to Culturally Competent pedagogy, curriculum, co-curriculum, support, facilities and other educational resources with an ultimate goal of achieving Excellence.” This webinar will explore some of the successes and challenges that IMSA is facing from an academic perspective and how we are attempting to move forward with ensuring that we provide all students with learning experiences that are equitable, personable, and culturally responsive.
