Equity in Education
Creating a climate of authenticity and a sense of belonging for all members of our educational communities.
Welcome to East Ed!
We work with PreK-12 schools, colleges and universities, and educational communities across the U.S. Fundamentally, we seek to develop a clear implementation plan that connects all diversity and equity work to increased achievement for all students, most importantly those who have been traditionally underserved by our schools.
Conferences & Events
East Ed, in partnership with Teaching While White, offers workshops and events that focus on methods to achieve academic excellence with equitable teaching practices and healthy school climates. Utilizing current research in the field of anti-bias education, our workshops move schools from having “best intentions” to developing real strategies for transformation and measurable outcomes for success.

Special Project
More than 80% of teachers in the U.S. are white. But most don’t know that their whiteness matters.
Teaching While White (TWW) seeks to move the conversation forward on how to be consciously, intentionally, anti-racist in the classroom. Because "white" does not mean a blank slate. It is a set of assumptions that is the baseline from which everything is judged; it is what passes for normal. TWW wants to have conversations about those assumptions: what they are, how they impact our students, and how we can confront our bias to promote racial literacy.
