At the heart of coaching for equity is the ability to raise issues with teachers to guide them to sources of knowledge which help them challenge ideas they or their students might hold: ideas such as people are superior or inferior, more or less deserving of good schools, or have the right to positive school experiences based on the color of their skin. To omit these discussions in coaching is to coach for the status quo, which is inequity. Enid Lee
