Education Equity

Race, ethnicity, or socio-economic status should not prevent children from obtaining an exceptional education. Access to high quality early learning access includes growing an early learning work force that is diverse and reflects the needs of our state’s changing demographics. Positive identity and bilingualism are important cornerstones of the educational experience. Effective, strengths-based parent engagement efforts are key to any students academic success. Teachers, administrators, school boards and state decision-makers must accurately reflect our diverse immigrant demographic. This isn’t just an incoherent list of random principles (though you may disagree); it is our vision for a public education system that meets the needs of all students.
