A practical guide for achieving equitable outcomes
From Equity Talk to Equity Walk offers
practical guidance on the design and application of campus change
strategies for achieving equitable outcomes. Drawing from campus-based
research projects sponsored by the Association of American Colleges and
Universities and the Center for Urban Education at the University of
Southern California, this invaluable resource provides real-world steps
that reinforce primary elements for examining equity in student
achievement, while challenging educators to specifically focus on racial
equity as a critical lens for institutional and systemic change.
Colleges
and universities have placed greater emphasis on education equity in
recent years. Acknowledging the changing realities and increasing
demands placed on contemporary postsecondary education, this book meets
educators where they are and offers an effective design framework for
what it means to move beyond equity being a buzzword in higher
education. Central concepts and key points are illustrated through
campus examples. This indispensable guide presents academic
administrators and staff with advice on building an equity-minded campus
culture, aligning strategic priorities and institutional missions to
advance equity, understanding equity-minded data analysis, developing
campus strategies for making excellence inclusive, and moving from a
first-generation equity educator to an equity-minded practitioner.
From Equity Talk to Equity Walk: A Guide for Campus-Based Leadership and Practice is
a vital wealth of information for college and university presidents and
provosts, academic and student affairs professionals, faculty, and
practitioners who seek to dismantle institutional barriers that stand in
the way of achieving equity, specifically racial equity to achieve
equitable outcomes in higher education.
