Due East Education Equality Collaborative

Due East Educational Equity Collaborative believes that to create more equity in our schools, which are consistently and predictably inequitable, we must refocus our work on the deep purposes of education. We must ground ourselves in the following truths:

  • Education is fundamentally relational.

  • Each educator and learner bring essential creativity and inquiry to the learning process, and the function of education is to create a more expansive and safe human existence for individuals and society.
