“…Socio-economic disparities can profoundly impact students' access to educational resources, support systems, and opportunities for academic success. Students from low-income families may face challenges such as inadequate access to technology, limited exposure to enriching experiences, and increased stressors related to poverty (Cookson et al, 2022). Recognizing these disparities is crucial for educators in designing inclusive curriculum and providing equitable learning opportunities for all students.…”

Inclusive curriculum design is a critical framework in contemporary education aimed at addressing the diverse needs of students for fostering social improvement. This review explores the foundational principles and practical strategies of inclusive curriculum design to enhance educational equity and societal progress. Inclusive curriculum design prioritizes the creation of learning environments that accommodate the varied backgrounds, abilities, and learning styles of all students. It recognizes the importance of representation, diversity, and inclusivity in course content, instructional methods, and assessment practices. By embracing diversity and equity as core values, inclusive curriculum design seeks to dismantle barriers to learning and promote equal opportunities for academic success. Central to inclusive curriculum design is the concept of universal design for learning (UDL), which emphasizes flexible instructional approaches that cater to individual differences. UDL encourages educators to provide multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression to support diverse learners effectively. Moreover, inclusive curriculum design promotes the incorporation of culturally responsive teaching practices that validate students' identities and experiences. By integrating diverse perspectives into the curriculum, educators can foster empathy, understanding, and respect among students, contributing to a more inclusive and harmonious society. Through the implementation of inclusive curriculum design, educational institutions can play a pivotal role in advancing social improvement by cultivating inclusive learning environments where every student feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed. By embracing diversity and equity in curriculum design, educators can nurture the next generation of compassionate and socially conscious citizens who are equipped to contribute positively to a more inclusive and equitable society.

“…This approach is consistent with research showing that students living in lowincome communities and attending under-resourced schools often experience barriers to learning that community schools can help to address. 63 California prioritized funding for schools serving 80% or more high-need students (defined as students from low-income households, English learners, and youth in foster care), while Maryland started with an 80% low-income eligibility threshold for schools that is set to gradually decrease to 55% by 2025. By contrast, New Mexico and Vermont prioritized funding for schools and districts serving 40% or more students from low-income households-consistent with Title I eligibility for schoolwide programs.…”

The community schools strategy transforms a school into a place where educators, local community members, families, and students work together to strengthen conditions for student learning and healthy development. As partners, they organize in- and out-of-school resources, supports, and opportunities so that young people thrive. A growing number of states are investing in community schools as a strategy to address long-standing social inequities that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on a review of state American Rescue Plan Act plans, as well as state legislative and state education agency websites and other online resources, this report describes community school initiatives in eight states. The report highlights three potential approaches to state support for community schools: (1) ongoing support through school funding formulas, (2) competitive grant funding, and (3) capacity-building supports (such as certification processes).

“…116 In fact, in 2015, twenty two states spent at least 5% less -and sometimes more than 25% less -on their highest-poverty school districts, rather than their lowest-poverty school districts. 117 Further, school districts themselves often direct more money to schools serving students in the wealthiest households. 118 The financing of public schools with revenue primarily from local property taxes also advantages students in the wealthiest communities, which are often majority-White due to our country's history of segregation.…”

A robust body of research supports the centrality of K-12 education to health and well-being. Critical perspectives, particularly Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Dis/ability Critical Race Studies (DisCrit), can deepen and widen health justice’s exploration of how and why a range of educational inequities drive health disparities. The CRT approaches of counternarrative storytelling, race consciousness, intersectionality, and praxis can help scholars, researchers, policymakers, and advocates understand the disparate negative health impacts of education law and policy on students of color, students with disabilities, and those with intersecting identities. Critical perspectives focus upon and strengthen the necessary exploration of how structural racism, ableism, and other systemic barriers manifest in education and drive health disparities so that these barriers can be removed.
