PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- K-12 assessment and research organization NWEA announced today the availability of a new book by author Fenesha Hubbard, M.Ed., lead professional learning designer at the organization. Jointly published by Corwin Press and NWEA, the book, titled "The Equity Expression: Six Entry Points for Nonnegotiable Academic Success," is based on the equity-focused professional learning series offered by NWEA for K-8 educators featuring the innovative framework centered on six entry points to equity: mindsets, relationships, products, spaces, processes and systems. "Equity work is complex. Sometimes just talking about equity work is difficult and that's why I've developed a resource that will guide educators in their equity conversations and empower them to create learning spaces and opportunities that build more equitable classrooms and instruction," said Hubbard. The workshop series and the book address several key elements currently missing in equity conversations, including:
"What makes this framework so impactful is the focus on the individual teacher and helping them understand all the aspects of themselves that they bring into their classrooms," said Hubbard. "The series and the book are a way for them to holistically improve their own craft of teaching and connect equity to their day-to-day instructional practices. It's deeply personal work."
