This guide from Center for the Transformation of Schools, Black Male Institute, and the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles provides educators and stakeholders with a comprehensive framework for advancing equity in education. Grounded in research and policy insights, the guide responds to persistent disparities in academic achievement experienced by Black students, particularly in urban contexts. Organized around four guiding principles—examining belief systems, creating supportive educational systems, ensuring culturally relevant and sustaining instruction, and addressing the accumulation of disadvantage—the resource emphasizes both individual reflection and systemic change. It highlights the importance of culturally responsive teaching, asset-based approaches, and the integration of family and community engagement to support whole child development. Practical tools, including self-reflection guides and resources for further study, enable teachers and administrators to examine policies and practices critically.
