I support school teams nationwide through the process of unpacking survey and focus group data from their communities. One consistent trend across school districts is that most adults overestimate their ability to understand and empathize with their students’ experiences at school.

But as more equity officers are hired, their individual challenges — and how to solve them — are unique. In practice, the work of a chief equity officer varies vastly across counties, cities, neighborhoods and the schools they serve — often even classroom to classroom.
