In The Road To Equity: The Five C's to Construct an Equitable Classroom, author, Kayren Gray identifies the issue and implements solutions to create inspiring results in your classroom. The book will revolutionize the perception of your students, classroom, campus, and districts, by providing a road map to close the gap, instituting a powerful message to be felt by those who are a part of your organization and those who are not.

Utilize the road map to equitable outcomes through my interpretation of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a reference point, moving through each level to reach self-actualization, or in our case, a more equitable classroom. Each chapter is a story and a stop along the road, with application and reflection to embark on your journey towards educational equity to close the gap and change the narrative.

K-12 Stakeholders will learn to:

• Confront bias and understand barriers
• Create opportunities to build relationships
• Collaborate through curriculum, lessons, and practices
• Commit to building confidence
• Celebrate diversity and inclusion to achieve a more equitable and welcoming classroom for all students to thrive.
