Professional Development
The Equity Lab Institute at Adelphi University is an applied research and development lab that is devoted to questions of equity in schools at the levels of policy and practice.
这项研究由大学教师和学校专业人员(领导、教师和其他人员)组成的协作团队领导，他们解决共同的问题，为教育公平、入学机会和社会正义等最棘手的问题找到解决方案。
Emanating from this lab activity are areas of professional practice illuminated by the research on equity that is presented as experiential learning workshops and on-site coaching/mentoring provided by university faculty and, with participating school professionals, collectively reflect an equity institute.
Currently, the institute houses two “strands” of programming:
- equity and social justice
- equity and school vision
These strands of workshops and on-site coaching/mentoring offer CTLE credits to participants and can be folded into credit-bearing graduate programs leading to certification in New York State.
