Webinar: The Civil Rights Road to Deeper Learning

Access to deeper learning is essential in a knowledge-based economy, but most schools, especially those serving low-income students and students of color, still focus on routine lower-level skills. The inequalities are so deep-seated that clearing a path to deeper learning for marginalized young people has required—and continues to require—considerable engagement in civil rights litigation, enforcement, and advocacy, as well as education reform.

This webinar highlighted the findings of a new brief and book on the Civil Rights Road to Deeper Learning, authored by Kia Darling-Hammond and Linda Darling-Hammond, and featured some of the country’s leading thinkers on educational innovation and equity. Speakers discussed the key civil rights actions and education policy conditions essential to ensuring access to a meaningful education that prepares all students to thrive in our modern society.
