Equity EDU

I completed one year as a first grade teacher in a DC public school. The experience was eye opening to the disparities in institutions and among cultures. Moreover, I have faced the challenge of delivering an excellent education to low-income students of diverse backgrounds, with many educational and social needs. This summer, I am interning with an educational advocacy group in Oakland, California that confronts issues of inequity within and among schools in order to improve educational outcomes of historically under served students and families. The purpose of this blog is to share what I am learning and to provide a forum for others to express their views.
