Good morning! If you missed the Day 1 Challenge email yesterday, click here!
For decades, marginalized students have encountered almost insurmountable barriers to access the education they deserve. This has lead to disparities in the quality of the schools they attend, academic resources at those schools, after school and summer enrichment opportunities, and college and career readiness. Ultimately this causes long term harm to the health, workforce advancement, and financial stability of our community.
The resources provided today will give you the opportunity to reflect on inequalities that have shaped our education system. As you explore, allow yourself to reflect on whether you experienced similar educational disparities and if "overcoming" those barriers might have been more or less challenging depending on your race, gender, ability, socioeconomic status, or other identities.
