Equity Leadership Institute
“Equity-conscious leaders inspire passion, purpose, and action in people to actively disrupt systemic inequities.”
- Equity-Conscious Leadership Framework
Equity-conscious educators, schools, and districts intentionally align people, instruction, structures, and policies to create environments where every learner can thrive. In the Equity Leadership Institute, current and aspiring leaders learn to cultivate an equity-conscious mindset, strengthen their capacity to lead systems change, and build the kind of collaborative teams that drive meaningful, sustainable impact.
About the Equity Leadership Institute
This two-day institute equips leaders to navigate the complexities of equity-conscious leadership and apply systems thinking to their daily work. Participants will deepen their understanding of how to lead with purpose, reflect on organizational culture and readiness, and identify or refine next steps that move their school, district, or institution toward greater coherence and inclusion.
You’ll walk away ready to:
