Equity and Cultural Responsiveness
Effective educational leaders strive for equity of educational opportunity and culturally responsive practices to promote each pupil’s academic success and well-being.
Summary & Artifact
Striving for equity of educational opportunity is a non-negotiable. In order to achieve this goal, I first had to learn how to determine where such inequalities exist within a school district. As part of the Carroll University's Educational Leadership Cohort, we were challenged to conduct an Equity Audit on our current school district but then also were afforded the opportunity to learn from our cohort team members to also learn about neighboring school districts. Each district has it's own unique culture, which may also lend itself to creating inequalities. I now know who to look for those inequalities and can use tools such as Educlimber, WISE DASH, and School Report Card Data.
