The 2023 Teaching Equity Conference is dedicated to eliminating disproportionality in discipline, closing the achievement/opportunity gaps for all students, increasing academic achievement, and social emotional success in school. In order for this to be successful, all educators must cultivate and foster classroom cultures based on inclusion, trust, and a sense of belonging for all students through tier 1 strategies.

As professional educators, participants will create effective classroom cultures and strategies that are grounded in the Washington state's standards of cultural competency, diversity, equity, and inclusion for the purpose of improving student engagement and learning for all students, including those from diverse backgrounds, social groups, and cultures.
