Making equity work understandable and doable.

Just Released! National Equity Community of Practice Dates/Times!

At CORE we support organizations in the examination of their systems; including structures, policies, practices, and beliefs that may perpetuate systemic racism and result in unequal outcomes. We train, coach, support, and provide insight to leaders and staff through a journey of improvement enabling them to identify their system’s impact and to create positive change for their most underserved populations.

Mission: Facilitate systems change to ensure access, representation, and opportunities for all.

Vision: Systems grounded in fairness and justice that prioritize equal outcomes for all.

Center on PBIS | Resource: Beginning to Address Equity in Tier 1 SystemsPDF: Equity work has long been associated with the notion that educational outcomes will improve if practitioners provide individual support to the "right students," typically meaning students of color, students from marginalized groups, or students underserved by our social institutions. While well-intentioned, this approach is shortsighted and ignores the role of systems, including education, in outcomes. This brief explains how school teams can begin to address long-standing systemic inequities via PBIS core components to create and sustain change.

Center on PBIS | Resource: Discussing Race, Racism, and Important Current Events with Students: A Guide with Lesson Plans and ResourcesPDF: This guide is intended to increase the frequency and quality of conversations about race, racism, and current events regarding race in K-12 classrooms to support students and provide voice and self-reflection. It includes recommendations and tips for creating statements of support, preparing for and facilitating constructive classroom discussions, addressing harmful statements, and designing lesson plans and units for ongoing learning.
