equity-mindedness

Equity-mindedness is the awareness and commitment to recognizing, addressing, and dismantling unfair differences and barriers that affect people's opportunities based on race, ethnicity, income, or other social factors. It involves understanding how systemic issues create disparities and actively working to create fairer, more inclusive environments. This mindset encourages educators, organizations, or individuals to reflect on their practices, question biases, and implement strategies that promote equitable outcomes for all, especially those who have historically been marginalized.
