Abstract
Given the increasing trend of student diversity, assuring equitable educational access and environments have become an impending issue in the US K-12 schools. As race has been a huge determinant of the equal educational access for long time, this paper explores how the race influences the educational equity in the school building. The paper also addresses the issue of teacher quality; how would it be possible to educate teachers that know how to teach racially, linguistically and socioeconomically diverse student populations.
