We spent this meeting using the equity framework that we read about last time to try mapping a recent project or unit in our classes into the 4 dimensions of equity that were outlined in the paper we read. (We had this handout, a selection of slides from a presentation at a workshop I attended this summer, as a “cheat sheet” for our work.)

We each made whiteboards of our maps, and then we shared with each other and discussed.

We noted the similarities of the ease of filling the access and achievement boxes and the relative difficult of filling the identity and power boxes—something to return to in a future meeting.

We also discussed what it means to be focusing on equity in an inherently inequitable situation (private school).
