#EquityWednesday
Equity Wednesday in Context
Equity Wednesday is an independent team-building opportunity for rich team dialogue on issues centering educational equity. Here, we are using the DEI-generated discussion guide, uploaded on this page weekly. The discussion guide gives a topic with stage setting for context, related to our theme of the month. Equity Wednesday discussions are meant to be thought-provoking and action oriented. DEI envisions the Equity Wednesday discussion as a critical reflection following your SEL opener. Scroll below for our discussion(s) of the week.
Equity starts with YOU!
We need you to participate in this discussion. Your responses will help generate our monthly blog post as we reflect on our District’s participation in #EquityWednesday. Note, you will not be identified, we are just pulling the contents from your discussion.
Get social! Tweet @GCS_Equity on #EquityWednesday by using the hashtag #EquityWednesday via Twitter.
