Many K-12 schools invest significant time, money and other resources to foster equitable and inclusive school climates; however, without equity data to guide Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies and practices, institutions are challenged in making truly informed decisions to address equity gaps on campus. What's more, 'equity data' remains an elusive term to many. In this session, presenters will share their unique approach to collecting equity data and then using that data to align campus stakeholders toward a cohesive and strategic DEI plan. The session will include information about the Institutional Climate and Inclusion Assessment, a leading-edge instrument for assessing institutional equity gaps.
