“During the last two years, educational leaders have faced glaring inequalities that have been exacerbated. The 2022 National Coalition on Education Equity (NCOEE) Conference seeks to identify equitable practices, highlight stories of change, and provide strategies for moving our nation’s schools toward systems that honor our students’ hopes, dreams, and potential.”
