Dine & Discuss - Moving to Action for Equitable Classrooms - February 12
Addressing equity requires a systemic effort that engages all stakeholders in shifting mindsets and implementing equity-focused classroom, school, and district practices.

Changing long-standing mindsets and practices requires strong shared leadership, courage, and commitment.
