Inequities in education, health care, and other social services are often rooted in systemic challenges that organizations must work together to address. If not done with a focus on advancing equity, improvement efforts risk reproducing or exacerbating inequities instead of eliminating them. In response to this need, Shift, an organization committed to addressing society's most pressing inequities through continuous improvement, partnered with equity leaders, educational experts, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to design an improvement course, Improvement Methods for Equity (IM4E). IM4E is designed to help education organizations create more equitable outcomes in their education systems while learning and practicing foundational continuous improvement skills. In this article, the authors share important lessons and public resources to design programs that center on equity while building capacity for ongoing learning and improvement.
