This powerful tool will provide readers with a deep understanding of fundamental concepts in equity-like "color blindness," "gender expansive," and "meritocracy"-enabling them to identify challenges and craft solutions to improve educational outcomes for all.  Key features include:  * Micro-Checks to reflect and interrogate personal beliefs * Equity timeline notes embedded throughout, which provide essential historical context for many terms * Supplemental resources including tips for bias-free language, a list of frequently misused terms, critical thinking prompts for professional learning communities (PLCs), and a guide to further reading  * Evidence-based strategies and best practices for achieving equity in education, interwoven throughout the text  Whether you are a novice or a veteran, this encyclopedia is user-friendly and accessible to anyone working toward equity-from educators and students to administrators, researchers, and community advocates.
