I worry about referring to a student's race or culture or ethnic background in the wrong way. Today I had our district Title VI coordinator come and she is Navajo. She kept referring to herself and her race as American Indian, but I had always been taught Native American. So I guess my question is, how can we be sure we don't offend by referring to a student's ethnicity in the wrong way?

I learned the difference between equity and equality.  Equal education is providing the same resources and opportunities for all students.  Equity goes beyond equality.  It means that all students are given the possibility of equal outcomes.  Equality means everyone gets the same.  Equity means everyone gets what they need to achieve equally.
