BEE – Beyond Equity in Education™
Creating
equity-based communities is revolutionary
We help build strong, inclusive communities—starting in schools and expanding into every aspect of daily life, from housing and healthcare to media and civic leadership.
We’re moving equity beyond simple data points and into behaviors and practices.
Equity in the Community
Begins when Equity is embedded throughout systems we encounter every day.
Bay Jones first developed a roadmap to align equity through daily school routines, providing people time and space to connect, understand, and support one another from District level to the Classroom and into the Community. Not long after, she was invited to apply her roadmap to organizations providing healthcare, skilled trades, and civic leadership.
Equity Strategies for Systems
Effective systems center equity… but it doesn’t stop there.
People transform systems. And awareness and honest conversations help individuals recognize that systemic inequity holds everyone back. We seek to center the humanity of every person through compassion and mutual respect. We co-create an equity roadmap that moves data points to the margins because we know…
…wisdom begins with people, not percentages.

Our Series: Learning to Fly
People run systems, people function within systems, and people use practices most comfortable and familiar to them when seeing, valuing, and behaving with one another. We can examine bias, systemic injustice, trends and patterns that lead to distrust, blame, shame, and fear. There is a better, more productive way of being in space with one another—We are sure of it and provide course materials to guide us there together.
