Decolonizing Equity
Institutions everywhere seem to be increasingly aware of their roles in settler colonialism and anti-Black racism.As such, many racialized workers find themselves tasked with developing equity plans for their departments, associations or faculties.This collection acknowledges this work as both survival and burden for Black, Indigenous and racialized peoples.It highlights what we already know and are already doing in our respective areas and offers a vision of what equity can look like through a decolonial lens.What helps us to make this work possible? How do we take care with ourselves and each other in this work?What does solidarity, collaboration or "allyship" look like in decolonial equity work?What are the implicit and explicit barriers we face in shifting equity discourse, policy and practice, and what strategies, skills and practices can help us in creating environments and lived realities of decolonial equity?This edited collection centres the voices of Indigenous, Black and other racialized peoples in articulating a vision for decolonial equity work.Specifically, the focus on decolonizing equity is an invitation to re-articulate what equity work can look like when we refuse to separate ideas of equity from the historical and contemporary realities of colonialism in the settler colonial nation states known as Canada and the United States and when we insist on linking an equity agenda to the work of decolonizing our shared realities.

How is equity calculated?
Equity is calculated by subtracting the total liabilities of a company from its total assets. In other words, equity represents the ownership interest in a company's assets after all debts and obligations have been paid off. It is a measure of the company's net worth and is often used by investors and analysts to assess the financial health and value of a company. Equity can also be calculated for individuals by subtracting their total liabilities (such as mortgages, loans, and credit card debt) from their total assets (such as savings, investments, and property).

What is equity capital?
Equity capital refers to the funds that a company raises by selling shares of ownership in the business. These shares represent ownership in the company and entitle the shareholders to a portion of the company's profits and a say in its decision-making processes. Equity capital is a crucial source of long-term funding for a company and can be raised through the sale of common stock or preferred stock. Unlike debt capital, equity capital does not need to be repaid and does not accrue interest, but it does dilute the ownership stake of existing shareholders.

'Equity type or legal type?'
Equity type refers to the ownership structure of a company, indicating whether it is publicly traded or privately held. Legal type, on the other hand, refers to the legal structure of a business entity, such as a corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. While equity type focuses on ownership, legal type is concerned with the legal rights and responsibilities of the entity. Both equity type and legal type are important considerations when determining the structure and governance of a business.

What is the accumulated equity?
The accumulated equity is the total value of an asset after subtracting any liabilities or debts associated with it. It represents the ownership interest or value that an individual or entity has in the asset. Accumulated equity can increase over time as the asset appreciates in value or as debts are paid off, resulting in a higher net worth for the owner. It is an important measure of financial health and can be used to determine the overall value of an investment or property.

Equity and Quality Dimensions in Educational Effectiveness
This book aims to make a contribution to the theory, research and practice on quality and equity in education by providing a comprehensive overview of these two dimensions of educational effectiveness and proposing a methodological instrument that may be used to measure the contribution that each school can make to promoting equity.The importance of using this instrument is demonstrated by analysing results of various effectiveness studies conducted over the last decade.The book draws upon research across the world, especially research conducted in the Europe, the United States, and Australasia.It is shown that promoting equity has no negative effect on the promotion of quality.The importance of using this methodological instrument to identify factors that promote both quality and equity at different educational levels (i.e. teacher, school and educational system) is stressed.The book also demonstrates how we can measure stability and changes in the effectiveness status of schools over time in terms of fostering quality and equity.In addition it underlines the importance of identifying factors measuring changes in the effectiveness status of schools in terms of equity and points to the alternative strategies that can be used at school and system level.In our attempt to encourage the further development and use of this methodology for school improvement purposes, we demonstrate how experimental studies can be conducted to discover whether and under which conditions the proposed methodology can help schools promote both quality and equity.Finally, implications for school evaluation, research, educational policy and practice are drawn.In this way, the book contributes significantly to the debate on how quality and equity can be achieved and encourages policy-makers and practitioners not to view these two dimensions of effectiveness as being in competition with each other but as constituting the major objectives of any reform policy and/or improvement effortat school and/or national levels.

How can one improve equity?
One can improve equity by addressing systemic barriers and biases that contribute to inequality. This can be achieved through policies and practices that promote equal access to opportunities, resources, and representation for all individuals, regardless of their background. Additionally, promoting diversity and inclusion in all aspects of society can help to create a more equitable environment. It is also important to actively listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized communities in decision-making processes.

How does depreciation affect equity?
Depreciation reduces the value of assets on the balance sheet, which in turn reduces the overall equity of the company. This is because equity is calculated as the difference between a company's assets and liabilities. As the value of assets decreases due to depreciation, the overall equity of the company also decreases. This can impact the financial health of the company and its ability to attract investors or secure financing.

What is the difference between equal opportunities, equity of opportunity, and equity of achievement?
Equal opportunities refers to the idea that everyone should have the same access to opportunities, resources, and rights regardless of their background or circumstances. Equity of opportunity goes a step further, aiming to ensure that everyone has the support and resources they need to have an equal chance of success, taking into account individual differences and barriers. Equity of achievement focuses on ensuring that everyone has the same chance of achieving success, regardless of their starting point, and aims to address and eliminate disparities in outcomes. In summary, while equal opportunities focuses on access, equity of opportunity and equity of achievement focus on addressing and eliminating disparities in support and outcomes.
