Purpose
The purpose of the advancing equity workgroup is to develop and implement best practices that advance equity in educator preparation programs. The work of this group is focused on practices that center racial equity and community engagement, in order to diversify their candidates and produce more culturally responsive educators. PESB is partnering with the community-based organization, the Multicultural Education Rights Alliance (McERA), to co-facilitate workgroup meetings and strengthen the workgroup’s understanding of community engagement.
