Collaborative Equity Audit

Identify a Pathway to Improving Equity with Community Stakeholders

More Information

Overview

Our Collaborative Equity Audit is a focused approach for educational organizations to understand current student outcomes and identify where to focus improvements to impact equitable outcomes for each and every student.

The process engages diverse perspectives from across the whole community, including family members, teachers, partners, and students themselves. Using a research-based framework, this group analyzes data together to identify key areas of need. They also suggest improvements focused on these areas of need to ensure the organization serves each and every student.

The equity audit can be both a starting point to set direction or a progress-monitoring tool to review current practices and goals. The resulting recommendations are practical, actionable, and designed to increase equitable outcomes for students.

Testimonials

You can't look at your student body and tell them that you are doing everything for them without taking a deep dive into your system and look at areas of growth. You are doing yourself a disservice without having the addition of challenging conversations.

Adding parent’s voices was something that I found most beneficial. We had a group of parents and guardians involved this time that we don't usually hear from. I really appreciated hearing their perspective around the data and having an opportunity to hear their vision to impact our plans.
