The purpose of this chapter is to explore the multi-faceted definitions of equity and equality in depth, along with a comparison as to how the terms converge with another. The chapter then shifts to current inequities in education including an exploration of funding formulas, core standards, the increased use of negative associations, teacher qualifications, as well as school culture and disciplinary climate. The chapter concludes with various recommendations to remedy these issues in an innovative manner that will ultimately benefit students.
