Now, more than ever, it is evident that outdated, one-size-fits-all approaches to education exclude the most vulnerable students, creating an education system where student outcomes can far too often be predicted by race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, language, and ability.\u003Cbr>Schools’ reopening creates a unique opportunity to examine school practices, policies, and protocols, to let go of what isn’t serving students, and to focus efforts on planning with equity at the center of the work. Students, families, communities and staff have changed. The system and supports must change.\u003Cbr>The Equation for Equitable Schools |\n\nIn order to create a future that is more equitable for everyone, educators must understand who is in their schools, what they can do based on their strengths and needs, and how they can do it.  \nWho  \nStudents, staff, and parents in today’s schools span four generations, each with their own strengths, needs, and lived experiences.  \nAdults  \nAdults who provide school services include “Boomers” (aged 55-73),“Generation X”(aged 39-54), and “Millennia ls” (aged 23-38) . Each generation experiences unique social and historical events that shape their collective values and ideals, and today’s students are no exception.  \nStudents  \nPresently, all students belong to “Generation Z” (aged 7-22) . Their generation is accustomed to the internet, information and entertainment available on demand, and communication and connection through technology. They are a politically active generation, and attend protests for causes they believe in. Unfortunately, they also experience intensified stress about topics in national news. In school, they have been subjected to intense preparation for standardized tests and, as a group, have witnessed more gun violence in schools than any other generation. Data from the 2007-2017 National Youth Risk Behaviors Survey shows that students are stressed, with reports of risk behaviors associated with mental health increasing each year. Equitable schools must meet the mental health needs of students, including those who have experienced both individual and collective trauma.  \nU.S. schools are built on historical concepts and traditions that no longer align with what today’s students are accustomed to. Generation Z has distinct strengths that must be leveraged to best meet their needs. They are the most diverse generation yet, and for them, diversity is an expectation. They are entrepreneurial thinkers who value evidence, having always had information at their fingertips. Despite having access to such technology, human interaction matters to Generation Z, and they are motivated by the opportunity to be a part of the human experience.  \nWhat  \nEquity-based multi-tiered system of support ( MTSS) creates a school environment where all students, staff, and families are invited, welcomed, understood, and feel a sense of belonging. MTSS is proactive, strengths-based, and builds the capacity and stamina of the entire school community to persevere in problem solving and advocating for equity-based policies and practices until race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, language, and disability no longer predict learning and life outcomes for students.
