| Abstract: |
This paper seeks to provide a current overview of socioeconomic school integration and provide a new conceptualization of socioeconomic integration from an equity perspective. What does socioeconomic integration involve? How can it be made to work well within schools to benefit all students? The paper draws upon the insights of a day-long conference of educators, researchers, policymakers, civil rights activists, and staff of the nation's four federally-funded Equity Assistance Centers, sponsored by the Center for Education Equity at Mid-Atlantic Equity Consortium in Washington D.C. earlier this year. Five steps for helping to ensure that equitable socioeconomic integration becomes a reality include: (1) Adhere to and internalize basic principles; (2) Implement a suite of socioeconomic integration equity tools; (3) Understand student assessments and address student needs; (4) Build a positive school culture that includes family and community; and (5) Promote reflection and self-assessment.
