Social Justice Equity Audits

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

“Social Justice Equity Audits” is a presentation intended to help educators move beyond simple accountability models to those that include an equity framework for school reform. This will allow educators to better meet the needs of all learners. At the center of the presentation is instruction to employ a school survey to assess the conditions for students at their school and explore what next steps teacher leaders can take to improve these conditions.

We’ve designed this presentation for teacher leaders, professional learning groups, staff development coordinators and other educators interested in engaging their colleagues around issues of equity and addressing the variance in school conditions and learning opportunities that lead to disparate outcomes for diverse student populations.

Using the presentation in a small group setting allows participants to learn from each other through discussion and collaboration. The included audio narration assumes a small group environment. However, educators working independently may choose to turn off the audio component. The presentation can be played directly from the Teaching Tolerance site or can be downloaded for use offline.
