Definition of “Equity. Educational equity is the condition of justice, fairness, and inclusion in our systems of education so that all students have access to the opportunities to learn and develop to their fullest potentials.

Equity is different from equality. Equity is a principle that is based upon justness and fairness, while equality demands everyone be treated at the same level. • What groups are impacted by the decision and what is the nature of the impact?

You can assume people have the best intentions and also acknowledge the impact of actions and statements if there is harm that occurs despite those best intentions. • Be vulnerable by sharing what is really important to you. • Avoid restating positions that have already been discussed. • Stay solutions-oriented.
