Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commitment to Action

 

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core to ConnectED’s work with communities. We do this work in parallel with an internal commitment to better understand how our own biases and privilege influence our services. This commitment is reflected in our mission to transform public education so that all students, especially those furthest from opportunity, are prepared to succeed in college, career, and life.

To deepen our commitment, ConnectED developed a comprehensive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commitment to Action. We believe this Commitment will help improve internal and external actions that will drive better outcomes for students and communities.
