Education Equity
Today's classrooms represent a microcosm of an increasingly diverse and multicultural society. A wide disparity in backgrounds between the faculty, the staff, and the students they educate has serious implications for the institution of education. An inclusive school culture works to affirm, not just tolerate, differences. Issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, class, religion, etc., must be addressed in any plan that seeks to build a truly inclusive foundation. NCCJSTL programs for educators strengthen and empower leaders in education to transform their schools through institutional change with a goal of becoming fully inclusive and just. |  |
