Education for Equity is an initiative building on the Center for Global Education's work to transform education systems as a means to shape a just and equal society. Resources for educators and staff-curated content address systemic issues of racism, inequity, and injustice in schools. Using our global competence model as a framework, this work aims to provide specific tools to use in classrooms to ensure all students are given equal opportunity to succeed.
