Every Learner Advisory Council
One of the core beliefs of the Every Learner Everywhere network is that meaningful change and progress must be built in community. The new Every Learner Advisory Council (ELAC) is designed to include the perspectives of all network partners, as well as external national experts, faculty, and institutional leaders, many of whom share the lived experiences of Black, Latino, Indigenous, poverty-affected, and first-generation students. The ELAC provides advice and guidance regarding all aspects of the functioning of the Every Learner network and its strategic priorities, including advancing racial justice and socioeconomic equity through digital learning. The ELAC helps us to facilitate collaborations and connections amongst partners and to broadly emphasize the expansiveness, diversity, contextualization, opportunities, and challenges of equitable digital learning.
