The Shared Equity Leadership Model

The shared equity leadership model serves as an empirically-based tool aimed at promoting equity and inclusion within educational institutions. It emphasizes the necessity of collective responsibility among all members of the campus community, including faculty, staff, and students, to support the educational success of marginalized students. The model arose from a comprehensive study examining successful campuses and their practices, leading to the identification of strategies that facilitate shared responsibilities towards equity. By redefining leadership as a shared endeavor rather than a role confined to senior administrators, this model encourages inclusive practices that align with institutional values.
