PARTNERS FOR EQUITY DEVELOPMENT IS A GROUP OF ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS COMMITTED TO
​EQUITABLE E-12 EDUCATION OUTCOMES FOR EACH AND EVERY STUDENT.

​

Our mission is to build equity-centered capacity through a systems and community approach to race and culture that leverages data, personal and professional development, and organizational learning for improved academic and social outcomes.
The Partnership...
  • Provides a framework to help decision makers assess their key stakeholder needs.
  • Helps decision makers find, choose, and implement high-quality, accessible, and affordable professional development, learning, and support opportunities.
  • Advances equitable actions in E-12 education settings.
  • Identifies resources available across partner organizations.
  • Identifies and creates programs to address unmet needs. 
We believe...
  • Equitable education outcomes are both morally just and legally required.
  • Achieving educational equity will require changes in mindsets toward shared knowledge, will, skill, and personal reflection.
  • All stakeholders at every level must engage in a systems approach to equity with supporting policies, processes, and structures.
  • Individuals and groups are uniquely developing intercultural understanding; ongoing, scaffolded opportunities for personal and professional development around educational equity are critical.
  • To make and implement effective decisions and to develop shared power, members of underserved communities must be engaged and included in the process.
  • Decision makers need a clear and credible resource to identify equity-related professional development needs in their organizations, and to choose from a variety of high-quality, sustainable, and durable options to best meet those needs over time.
