For Educators

EMID's Office of Equity and Integration coordinates a range of professional development opportunities that enable individual teachers and school teams to build on (an) awareness of self, culture, and cross-cultural skills to increase understanding of issues in educational equity and create equitable classrooms and schools. Toward this end, the Office of Equity and Integration sponsors multidistrict workshops that focus on differentiated instructional practices designed to foster inclusive learning environments and increase student achievement. In addition, our staff provides member district professional development catered to individual district needs in the areas of:

• Multicultural education
