The journey toward educational equity in the United States is inspiring, and often challenging, in our ever-evolving landscape. To better measure our progress, we need a systematic framework that will help us clearly define and move towards educational equity in a purposeful and sustainable way.

Watch Kerri Larkin, Senior Education Advisor for Lexia Learning, as she dives into educational equity through a lens of (1) instructional, (2) cultural, and (3) digital equity. When combined with the instructional core model, this novel approach offers a comprehensive and measurable solution with the potential to profoundly impact academic success for all students.

This edLeader Panel is interactive and engaging for educators and leaders, with opportunities to reflect on their personal and professional experiences. Viewers learn how the instructional core of students, teachers, and content can be supported across the essential elements of equity to sustain meaningful progress. Through a fresh perspective on the Science of Reading, culturally responsive pedagogy, and digital accessibility, educational leaders can ensure “literacy for all” in their schools, districts, and states.

This recorded edLeader Panel is of interest to PreK-5 school and district leaders, education technology leaders, and educators.
