Fitz Center for Leadership in Community
Educational Equity Programs
Educational Equity Programs provides UD students (Education Impact Partners) with opportunities to partner with community and education leaders to tutor, mentor and assist in community-driven capacity building. UD students are provided educational formation on pedagogy, equity, cultural competency and best practices of community engagement. Additionally, this experience is meant to broaden the scope of educational equity work through partnerships with nonprofit and government agencies outside of the education sector to improve the quality and depth of community engagement and fulfill our commitment to two-generation/whole family engagement. The program also creates professional opportunities for UD students that enhance student knowledge of culturally responsive strategies and transformational justice practices, thus helping to shape the next generation of urban teachers and community leaders.
UD students can become Education Impact Partners, or participate through federal work study.
Through the cultivation of Education Impact Partners, the Educational Equity Program addresses educational inequities through partnerships with local schools and organizations to advance quality education for all.
Catalyzing robust and reciprocal community-driven partnerships to advance educational equity.
