What We Do.
How can we help you build the equitable education system you seek?
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read or write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”
-Alvin Toffler
We invite you on a journey to create a just and liberated future by unlearning and relearning together. Amplify Equity works in partnership with educators and leaders to clarify the equity-focused outcomes they desire, and then uses liberatory processes to build toward the future they envision. Our services are customizable and unique to the needs of our partners. The sampling below gives you a glimpse into our portfolio of offerings:
-
Audits
Pausing to take stock is an important aspect of creating liberatory schools and organizations. An equity audit (curricular, organizational, or systemic) is important in being able to create a transformational roadmap. We co-create participatory audit processes that leverage best practices and local expertise to unlock your organization’s strengths, needs, and opportunities.
-

“Dr. Ocasio is a masterful facilitator and instructional designer. She creates safe and respectful environments for participants in her trainings to reflect on their practice and wrestle with difficult and uncomfortable topics. More importantly, she's able to provide personalized coaching for participants to construct, implement, and monitor solutions to the DEIJ issues they've identified. Kelly's modules have clear learning arcs with scaffolds to support learners from a wide array of perspectives and cultural contexts. She is highly accessible and responsive throughout the learning process and an insightful guide for long-term strategic planning.”
