In other words, a framework that allows educators to critically analyze inequities and identify meaningful actions to address them. Building this lens begins with deep self-reflection, encouraging instructors to examine their own beliefs, experiences, and relationship to equity while gaining a clearer understanding of the systemic and structural factors that contribute to educational disparities, particularly for historically marginalized students. By recognizing how institutional practices and broader social inequities shape student experiences, educators can move beyond deficit perspectives and toward more inclusive approaches. With this foundational awareness, faculty are better prepared to reflect on their teaching practices and implement instructional strategies that actively challenge inequities, support diverse learners, and foster equitable participation and success. In this topic you will have the opportunity to learn how to build an equity lens that can facilitate transformative, equity-centered practices in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-0ba9bad6ebc161eaa76fba54fc6b3fbf wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>myPATH Presentation &#8211; (Required Reading\/Viewing):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Presentation: <a href=\"https:\/\/eccser.org\/seamypath\/module-3-building-an-equity-lens\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/eccser.org\/seamypath\/module-3-building-an-equity-lens\/\">Building an Equity Lens<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-90044a94e4f9baf26f67cd7eddffbcd2 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Supplemental Reading &#8211; (Required Reading\/Viewing):&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sph.unc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/112\/2020\/08\/Anti_Racist_Discussion_Pedagogy__1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Anti-Racist Discussion Pedagogy: Incorporating an Anti-Racist Pedagogy into All Disciplines<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.brighamandwomens.org\/departments\/how-to-stay-in-the-conversation\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/magazine.brighamandwomens.org\/departments\/how-to-stay-in-the-conversation\">Becoming Anti-racist Chart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Tara J.
