Decision Making Through an Equity Lens

When making decisions, problem solving, taking actions and planning instruction, utilize the following questions:

• Does this practice align with the District mission/vision?

• Whom does this practice affect both positively and negatively?

• Does the practice ignore or worsen existing disparities or produce other unintended consequences?

• Are those being affected by the decision included in the process? Who is not in the room? What perspectives are we missing?

• What other possibilities were explored?

• Is the practice/outcome sustainable?
