The Strong Start to Finish Equity Philosophy
Strong Start to Finish addresses equity by working to change systems to meet the needs of students who are adversely impacted by traditional developmental-education practices: Black, Brown, Asian-American and Indigenous students, students with low incomes and adult learners. Below, we share links to articles that address racial equity in theory and practice.
