About the Course
This course aims to empower educators to become agents of change by equipping them with the knowledge, tools, and critical mindset necessary to foster a more equitable educational environment. It emphasizes not only understanding the complexities of equity but also taking proactive steps to create inclusive and supportive learning environments for all students.
