OUR COMMITMENTS
Four commitments have guided The Equity Exchange from the beginning.
that informs now and next practices while testing their value for public and private school environments.
Explore Research
the formative ideas and methods that strengthen our ability to champion vital work in our school communities.
Advance Principles
that can be replicated in our schools and districts, leveraging the wisdom in the room while receiving personal coaching from our facilitants.
Co-construct Practices
and expand our networks by collaborating well beyond the Institute week via virtual Cohort Connection calls and ongoing engagements.
Extend Relationships
A cohort at the center. Partnership beyond it.
The one-year cohort is the heart of The Equity Exchange. It begins with our flagship Summer Institute—a think tank, generative practice space, and self- and community-care retreat—and continues through virtual Cohort Connection calls that help participants deepen learning, sharpen practice, and stay connected throughout the year.
The relationship does not end with the final Cohort Connection call. Participants become part of the TEE Alum Community, with opportunities to reconnect through special gatherings, shared learning, and future cohorts. Many return—bringing new questions, deeper experience, and relationships that strengthen the community across years.
TEE also serves as a point of connection for schools seeking support beyond the cohort. Through our facilitant and contributor network, we can respond to needs for facilitation, coaching, consultation, and strategic partnership.
Flagship Experience
The 2027 Equity Exchange cohort begins July 11–16 in St. Louis with our flagship Summer Institute—an organic, generative, and collaborative experience designed to deepen thinking, sharpen practice, strengthen relationships, and create space for both self- and community-care.
