Book excerpt: In The Road To Equity: The Five C's to Construct an Equitable Classroom, author, Kayren Gray identifies the issue and implements solutions to create inspiring results in your classroom. Utilize the road map to equitable outcomes through my interpretation of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a reference point, moving through each level to reach self-actualization, or in our case, a more equitable classroom. Each chapter is a story and a stop along the road, with application and reflection to embark on your journey towards educational equity to close the gap and change the narrative.The detours in my own life were the driving forces that led to a desire and mission to ensure educational equity. There were more tolls and exits I had to prepare for, while I observed others using cruise control and others being fortunate enough to take the HOV lane. Those moments in life that set me back or directed me to an exit, in order to refuel, changed a little piece of me- sometimes for the better but sometimes for the worse. Those unexpected detours were my "North Star," shaping my experiences to prepare me to deliver a message that hopes to inspire you to do what you can to close the gap. In fact, if we all do what we can, little or much, it's more than we would see accomplished, if we all did nothing at all, and that's why this is so important to me. K-12 Stakeholders will learn to: confront bias and understand barriers to learning; create opportunities to build relationships; collaborate through curriculum, lessons, and practices; commit to building confidence and a growth mindset; celebrate diversity and inclusion to achieve a more equitable classroom.
