Ensuring Educational Equity Through Accountable Leadership

Ensuring equitable access for all students is a persistent challenge in the education system. The Southeast Comprehensive Center hosted an Equity Summit Nov. 29-Nov. 30 in Jackson, Mississippi, with the theme “Accountable Leadership: Opportunities for Equitable Systems.” Participants examined data on equity gaps in specific geographic areas and the role of education systems and leaders to create more equitable opportunities and outcomes. They also developed equity plans related to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to implement in their states after the summit. Learn more about the Equity Summit.

A Civil Rights Learning Journey

How does the civil rights movement of the 1960s continue to shape all aspects of society, including educational opportunities and outcomes for children? In November 2018, a group of AIR staff had the opportunity to better understand this legacy by participating in a civil rights learning journey across the South. The bus tour set the stage for an equity summit sponsored by AIR’s Southeast Comprehensive Center.
