Building Educational Equity Indicator Systems: A Webinar Series  Part 1: Tuesday, October 27 at 2 PM EDT    How can education leaders monitor and measure progress toward educational equity? Educational policy makers and leaders recognize the importance of making sure that students of all backgrounds and abilities have an equal chance to succeed. This goal of educational equity has been historically difficult to achieve, but it is especially timely now. Join the National Academies on Tuesday, October 27 for the first part of this webinar series to learn more about what is needed to monitor educational equity at the district, state, and national levels. Register Now Two recent reports by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine provide a starting point for measuring longstanding disparities in key educational opportunities and outcomes. Monitoring Educational Equity puts forward a set of research-based indicators of educational equity that address students’ educational outcomes from pre-K through high school graduation and their access to the educational resources and opportunities that are essential to achieve those outcomes. Building Educational Equity Indicator Systems builds on that foundation to help states and districts take steps to begin collecting data on the indicators. These reports recommend creating systems of educational equity indicators at the national, state, and local levels. Much work remains to be done to make those indicator systems a reality. Participants in this webinar will discuss implications and next steps for federal, state, and district education policy makers.
