NYU Metro Center presents the 2023 Prioritizing Equity Conference: Past, Present, and Future. The 2023 Prioritizing Equity Conference will push the boundaries of what educational equity means, and for whom, and will share research, practices, strategies, and tools with attendees that can be shared with colleagues on how different education equity leaders can play a role in improving beliefs, policies, and practices in schools, districts, regions, and greater school-wide communities. This equity and social justice event aims to inform, instruct, and replenish a host of education community members working to ensure the end of the systemic racism and economic oppression our children face within public education.
The 2023 Prioritizing Equity Conference will be a remarkable educational justice gathering. This is in part due to the conference’s innovative, enlightening, and equity-focused workshops, as well as the equally innovative, enlightening, and equity-focused individual who will deliver the keynote address.
The Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools is proud to announce Dr. Pedro Noguera as the keynote speaker for its 2023 Prioritizing Equity Conference: Past, Present, and Future.
