Using Cultural Knowledge for Equity: A Series

More than three years ago, the then-superintendent of the Forest Grove, Ore., district asked researcher Stephanie Fryberg to work with district leaders on inclusion and equity issues. Yvonne Curtis, the superintendent, was concerned that a growing number of Latino students were experiencing opportunity and achievement gaps.
