Designing for Equity and Inclusion

Most organizations and institutions typically approach the issues of equity and inclusion as matters for administrative policy, training or programs. Rarely is the design of the environment considered a strategy for improving equity and inclusion.  This is especially true in our public schools.

Reimagine America’s Schools in association with the Siegel Family Endowment brought together a panel of designers, educators, and technologists on December 1 to explore the practical and tangible ways that the learning environment can be designed to create a more equitable and inclusive space for students, their families and their teachers.
