Why Equity Matters — NACADA

The focus of this session will be addressing the importance of equity, access, and excellence in today’s schools. Using data on today’s student demographics, the session will address strategies, approaches and resources that school personnel can implement to aid learners, but will place a particular focus on the most vulnerable students. The session will address complex challenges that students encounter in their efforts to be successful and how they can be supported socially, emotionally and academically by practitioners, school staff, school counselor, and school leaders.
