Welcome to the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)

We hope to keep supporting your work and create a space for tools and resources, but also reflect on the essence of the "why" of our work. Our Equity Team is committed to looking for evidence and research-based practices that will enhance your teaching practices.

ODE Education Equity Stance

Education equity is the equitable implementation of policy, practices, procedures, and legislation that translates into resource allocation, education rigor, and opportunities for historically and currently marginalized youth, students, and families including civil rights protected classes. This means the restructuring and dismantling of systems and institutions that create the dichotomy of beneficiaries and the oppressed and marginalized.
