NYSEC’s Values and Commitments to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
We at NYSEC recognize our responsibility, as the organization and collective space for English educators across the state, to catalyze and stay engaged in conversations around equity and justice within and beyond our classrooms, schools, and communities. Our conceptions of equity and justice call us to name and challenge all forms of harm done to marginalized communities, and are influenced by anti-bias and anti-racist scholars, teachers, and activists.
