Purpose
The purpose of the Advancing Equity Work Group 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 ultimately 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 work group meetings and strengthen the work group’s understanding of community engagement.
