We have a collective responsibility and an obligation to work toward making education equitable for all learners period. Wouldn’t this world be a better place if anyone who desires to learn, regardless of gender, religion, race, location, socioeconomics, and the like, could access high-quality education? Of course. What if the words ‘opportunity’ and ‘divide’ never had to be paired together? We’d all be better for it.

While we can strive to make things better on a global scale, there are actionable steps we can take to make our classrooms more equitable today.

In this episode of the Teach and Learn podcast, Dr. Emma Zone shares the virtual classroom with Daysha Jackson-Sanchez, the VP of Equity Solutions at Lumen Learning. Together, they talk about how to identify and eliminate systemic barriers in education to make learning more equitable for all learners.

In this episode of Teach & Learn, Daysha Jackson-Sanchez provides insights on:

How equity translates into greater individual student success and its ripple effect
What we can do to bridge the opportunity divide
What to consider when thinking about equity
What we can do to even the playing field today
