Every student deserves an education that prepares him or her for lifelong learning, success in the world of work, and participation in representative government. Unfortunately, far too many students are not receiving the high-quality educational experiences needed to help them reach these goals. Meaningful progress toward equity in education does not necessarily mean equal resources for all. Educational equity means that every student has access to the resources and educational rigor they need at the right moment in their education, despite race, gender, ethnicity, language, disability, family background, or family income. State education chiefs are uniquely positioned to lead their state toward achieving educational equity. To do this, state chiefs must engage with diverse audiences across their state--families and communities, educators, policy makers, private-sector leaders, and faith communities--to forge a new commitment to educational equity. The following ten commitments are actions state chiefs and their state education agencies (SEAs) can take to improve educational equity: (1) Prioritize Equity: Set and Communicate an Equity Vision and Measurable Targets; (2) Start from Within: Focus on the State Education Agency; (3) Measure What Matters: Create Accountability for Equity; (4) Go Local: Engage Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and Provide Tailored and Differentiated Support; (5) Follow the Money: Allocate Resources to Achieve Fiscal Equity; (6) Start Early: Invest in the Youngest Learners; (7) Engage More Deeply: Monitor Equitable Implementation of Standards and Assessments; (8) Value People: Focus on Teachers and Leaders; (9) Improve Conditions for Learning: Focus on School Culture, Climate, and Social-emotional Development; and (10) Empower Student Options: Ensure Families Have Access to High-quality Educational Options That Align to Community Needs. Within each of the broad categories are specific actions chiefs can take to advance equitable outcomes, guide conversations, and think more holistically to improve equity at scale in their states.
