An Equity Framework is something to help us assess what we are doing well when it comes to equity and where we are falling short. A framework can help us with self-reflection, communal reflection, and holding ourselves institutionally accountable when it comes to equity. A framework might help make this work more tangible. If everyone has their own understanding of equity, the term gets watered down and carries very little weight. Without a framework, it makes it easier for folks to use the term equity while actively undermining equity.

Once a framework gets developed, how often does it get assessed? By whom? How are we going to make sure that we are using the framework to inform decision-making and to keep ourselves in check? What will we be doing in regards to holding ourselves accountable to the framework? If there are areas in the framework, which require professional learning, are we going to support that work?

I think that evening students are impacted because they don't have the same resources as other students.

I think that we need to continue PL for all modalities of teaching for the sake of equity and student success.

I think we could do a better job of identifying why students drop before the first census.

Giving access to data is not enough to help us be equity advocates. We need professional learning to help us learn how to look at and communicate out what is in the data.

I think that there needs to be more shared investment around DEIA work if it is going to mean anything. I think that when it gets embedded into observations and hiring practices, it can create inequities without enough training. This includes all on our campus (including administrators). There is a danger of using data to undermine equity opportunities.

Some guiding values

Treating everyone with dignity

Clarity is Kind/Transparency

Cultural Humility

Emphasis on Social Justice (immigrant, linguistic, LGBTQ+, etc) (Look at the Puente FW)

Inclusivity

I am hoping that this is not just one more thing that gets created and then gets shelved or ignored.

I hope that it is something that we will be able to use to make us more thoughtful, respectful, and inclusive problem-solvers and decision makers.

It will help us to slow down and interrogate our own thinking when it comes to assessments and providing feedback. It might help us argue for support (by being able to point back to the framework). It might help us reflect upon how we interact with our students.

# data[].attributes.body
It will help us in considering when to share our thinking and when we need to sit back and give space to others. It will help us to be more sensitive to power dynamics within a space. It will help us in developing cultural humility in meetings, hiring committees, tenure review committees, etc. It will help us to become more generous listeners.

Equity has been talked about for a loooong time. Issue has been we've not had concurrence about WHAT IS EQUITY throughout the campus.
