LEE | The Equity Roadmap

Introduction

As a LEE member, you have seen firsthand how policies impact students and families–and you know that every community has unique needs. The Equity Roadmap provides foundational background and guidance on equity issues across communities. Use the Roadmap to identify policy issues that affect your community and questions to ask that can lead to a more equitable future for children.

Using the Roadmap

The Roadmap is divided into two areas:

Process
Policy

While policy change can impact equity, leaders must also consider the ways policy is created. We will guide you through process mindsets that will help you lead with an equity lens. Use this tool to:

Ground your vision for equity in knowledge of the education policy landscape
Assess the current state of educational equity in your local community
Identify questions to raise with local stakeholders and decision makers
Identify opportunities for action

Process

Learn why defining and prioritizing equity as well as soliciting community engagement is important.

Policy
