The Excellence in Equity 2022 awards recognizes companies, leaders, authors, and educators whose efforts are helping schools achieve equity everywhere, what ACE-ED calls “a a non-negotiable priority” for preK-12 education.

The co-authors offer five practices to increase educational equity and eliminate marginalization based on race, disability, socioeconomics, language, gender and sexual identity, and religion.
