Creating Time for Equity Together

Overview & Synopsis

Iin urban communities across the nation, a broad range of partners have committed to reinventing educational time together to ensure equitable access to rich learning opportunities for all young people. Across the nation, education partners are using their creativity, commitment, and unique resources to create new school and system designs that challenge the "what," "who," and "why" of the public education system. Together these voices, stories, and reflections remind educators of the hope and urgency of working together to create more equitable education systems. They also remind practitioners that each person working in this struggle has a responsibility to own their places of privilege and expertise, respect the expertise and efforts of others, and then humbly work together to bring about a more just society and school system. A sidebar of "Examples of More and Better Learning Time Approaches" is included at the end of the article.
