Over the past six months, the higher education team at The Hunt Institute has published a series of three briefs aimed at exploring the intersection between equity and increasing postsecondary attainment rates. The third brief, and the main topic of this webinar, highlights the use of disaggregated data to narrow equity gaps in postsecondary education. Access to and analysis of more detailed—that is, disaggregated—data is a useful tool for improving educational outcomes for small groups of students who otherwise would not be distinguishable in the aggregated data traditionally used in reporting. Disaggregating student data can help institutions of higher education plan appropriate programs, decide which interventions to select, use limited resources where they are needed most.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a range of unprecedented monumental shifts to K-12 learning and instruction, including a significant increase in parent and family involvement in their child’s education. One result of this new engagement and awareness is renewed attention on school choice policies and the options families have to customize the education their child receives. Join us for a discussion of how perceptions and policies around school choice have shifted as a result of the pandemic, the short and long-term impacts of these shifts on education at-large, and how educators and policymakers at the state, district, and school levels can provide all parents and families with access to the information, resources, and supports needed to ensure their children are receiving a high-quality education that meets their needs.

How adults interact has a deep and lasting influence on the children in their care. And yet, the early learning field spends very little time focusing on these relationships and interactions. To co-create communities in which every child can thrive, all adults in the child’s ecosystem need to come together with mutual respect, collaboration, and inclusivity

The Eleven Simple Rules is a framework that helps adults establish a new, equitable model of working together. This framework helps adults break down silos and dismantle inequitable power structures, and it is replicable across all early learning environments. When the Eleven Simple Rules are integrated as a daily practice, they lead to high quality learning in the classroom and beyond — from parks, playgrounds, homes, buses to every part of a child’s ecosystem.

In this webinar, panelists will introduce the framework of the Eleven Simple Rules for thriving communities. Members of the Wyoming Quality Learning Network will describe how they used the Eleven Simple Rules to create an effective statewide collaboration. The results have been a shared vision of quality across all early learning settings and pathways for thriving, equitable communities for children and families in Wyoming.

Research affirms meaningful benefits for diversifying school leadership, including reducing stereotyping and unconscious biases and promoting greater acceptance and trust among students, improving interactions with community members that share their racial or ethnic background, and providing a nuanced perspective when developing academic programs targeting students of color. Yet, principal pipelines are not equally accessible for educators of color. Furthermore, as we go into the third year of the pandemic, school principals continue to feel the stress of staffing shortages and concerns about student wellness in their schools, leading to fears of principals leaving the field. What can states and districts do to recruit diverse school leaders, and how can we ensure our school leaders of color feel supported? Join us for a conversation around diversifying school leader pipelines and supports for principals of color.
