Why Education Matters

"Education within a pluralistic democratic society should help students to gain the content, attitudes, and skills needed to know reflectively, to care deeply, and to act thoughtfully." 


"Equity pedagogy creates an environment in which students can acquire, interrogate, and produce knowledge and envision new possibilities for the use of that knowledge for societal change."

-Banks and Banks, "Equity Pedagogy: An Essential Component of Multicultural Education"
