I think this video can be seen as a creative and thought-provoking conversation starter on how our individual perspective (Identity) can tailor what we see. And perhaps it can remind us of the importance of staying in the moment (intention) with a heightened flexibility and awareness to see things differently (attention) to make changes with a positive influence.

Equity Review Process

Both federal and state laws require that there be no discrimination in educational programs or in school hiring practices on the basis of race, national origin, color, religion, creed, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and marital status. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Education requires state education agencies to develop "Methods of Administration" to reasonably assure that sub-recipients of federal financial assistance are in compliance with federal civil rights laws and to correct areas of non-compliance. The federal civil rights laws include:

• Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (gender equity)

• Title VI Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race and national origin equity)

• Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (disability equity)

• Title II - Americans with Disabilities of 1990 (disability equity)

• Office for Civil Rights Guidelines for Eliminating Discrimination in Vocational Education (equity in vocational programs)
