Authentic Why Purpose Statement: The PDE Building Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in the Neighborhood Roadmap educates and provides comprehensive guidance and a structure for creating positive, mentally, emotionally, physically safe, inclusive environments, and systems of support for Pennsylvania learners (PK-20+), families, educators, and partners. It presents a path forward, meeting its users where they are, in supporting individuals, teams, organizations, and communities to move forward with the tools and resources (e.g., sustained practices, procedures, and policies) that will allow every learner to thrive. We acknowledge this is not a step-by-step process, but rather a purposeful journey allowing users to design processes towards building the "more perfect union" envisioned at the founding of our country—the creation of a safe educational community where every learner (from birth on) and their respective ecosystems of family, community, and citizenship are honored, valued, accepted for who they are, treated with dignity and worth, and belongs.
