Shifting Perspectives, Inc.: Sowing S.E.E.D.S (Standing for Equity in Education by Defying Silence)

Education is a fundamental right for every student, regardless of their race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or any other factor that may create disparities in learning opportunities. Unfortunately, the sad reality is that not all students receive equal opportunities to learn and succeed. Academic and opportunity gaps persist in many schools, affecting the quality of education and ultimately impacting the ability of every student to see a promising future. Shifting Perspectives, Inc. was founded in 2019 as a company dedicated to helping schools and leaders Grow Another Perspective (G.A.P) to authentically embark upon paths that result in equitable outcomes in learning regardless of a student’s background, zip code, or identity.

Shifting Perspectives, Inc. offers a range of services to support district, school, and teacher leaders in their journey towards equity.
