Equality and Equity
According to the Center for Urban Education, this term reflects the perspective that we will live in an equal world.
Equality
This term is used to describe the process of segmenting data in such way to examine outcomes for different groups, such as by race, gender, or age.
Data Disaggregation
Negative PPG-1 values may be indicative of _____ impact
Disproportionate Impact
This is a term used to describe the notion that gains for one group can only be obtained at the expense of another.
Zero-Sum
A term used to describe explanations for inequities that are typically grounded in what racially minoritized groups lack
Deficit-Mindedness
According to the Center for Urban Education, this term reflects a focus only on bringing more students into an already unequal pathway (or society).
Diversity
This term is used to denote gaps in success or achievement for specific student populations, such as Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx students -- gaps that likely stem from inequitable practices, policies, and approaches to student support.
Disproportionate Impact
This disproportionate impact method reflects a focus on representational equity; that is, on the extent to which the representation of a given subgroup is similar within a successful population as compared to the entire student population.
Proportionality Index (PI)
A term used to describe the result of interventions that exacerbate or create equity gaps.
Rising Tide
A term used to describe explanations for inequity that are race-neutral and don't consider the impact of race on learning experience
All-Student Centeredness
According to the Center for Urban Education, this term reflects the focus on redirecting resources to address unequal pathways; that is, to fixing systemic barriers that racially minoritized students face in achieving their educational goals.
Equity
This disproportionate impact method is based on the notion of comparing the outcomes of one subgroup of students (e.g., Hispanic/Latinx) to the outcomes of all remaining subgroups.
Percentage Point Gap Minus One (PPG-1)
PPG-1 values exceeding this threshold are considered to be indicative of disproportionate impact
Margin of Error
In a book titled, "The Sum of Us," this author argues that we can overcome a zero-sum mentality by recognizing that we can all reap the rewards of a our great society.
Heather McGhee
A term used to describe explanations for inequity that are race-conscious and focus on how an institution is contributing to the observed gaps.
Equity-Mindedness
The statement, "I care about all students equally," is consistent with this term.
Equality
This commonly used student achievement metric is based upon the number of grades earned rather than on the number of individual students
Course Success Rate (also Course Completion rate)
Either of these digital tools are ones you can use to readily determine the presence of disproportionate impact
PPG-1 Calculator or DI Calculator
_____ and ______ are two terms that are often confounded in the context of evaluating the impact of interventions on students outcomes
Success & Equity
This framework offers practitioners agency to address inequities and helps to refocus the attention on critical self-reflection of current practices, programs, policies, structures, and culture
Equity-Minded Sensemaking
This term reflects an emphasis on eliminating racial/ethnic disparities in outcomes and experiences through examination of revision of practices, policies, and structures that contribute to equity gaps
Racial Equity
This number largely determines the value of the margin of error when conducting PPG-1 analyses
Cohort Count (or number of observations)
This numerical criterion is typically used to identify disproportionate impact using the Proportionality Index
0.85
This campus launched the Graduation Initiative 2025--an ambitious plan to increase graduation rates and eliminate equity gaps in degree completion
California State University
Identifying an issue, gathering data to better understand the issue, evaluating the progress of implemented solutions, and launching data-informed change are all aspects of this paradigm
