Let's work together to achieve equity across our education system and its classrooms.
The Challenge
With the Alice Springs (Mpartnwe) Education Declaration our education system embraces a bold vision:
Our vision is for a world class education system that encourages and supports every student to be the very best they can be, no matter where they live or what kind of challenges they may face.
However, evidence and experience suggest this is far from being realised.
Who we are
The Education Equity Alliance is a not-for-profit organisation led by experienced teachers and school leaders.
​
Our vision is for an education system where students achieve equity of outcomes no matter their background or circumstances.
​
To achieve this, our mission is to empower students and teachers to be partners in system-change.
​
The Alliance is currently working with both schools and system stakeholders to engage students, teachers and families to identify key barriers to equity and to co-design solutions. We prioritise engaging students from priority cohorts in these activities, as well as the teachers and staff directly supporting them, as an intervention to build their wellbeing and efficacy.
A guide to school & system improvement priorities for equity
The Alliance recently published its mud map of improvement priorities for equity.
This has been developed with the input of over 1,000 students, teachers and system stakeholders.
​
It is a mud map because it is how we see the priorities at this point in time - it will shift and change as we work with more school communities, students and teachers.
​
You can access a full guide to the mud map, including examples of practice, as well as a webinar recording outlining the map here.
