Equity Apps is an interactive workbook designed to support the development of educational leaders committed to equity, inclusion, belonging, and student-centered learning environments. Grounded in research, reflective practice, and real-world leadership experience, this resource offers practical activities, guided reflection, collaborative experiences, and application-based tools to help educators examine their leadership practices through an equity lens.

Originally developed within educational leadership credential programs, the workbook has been embedded in PASC and CASC preparation programs since 2020 and is designed for aspiring and current school leaders, instructional coaches, teachers, and higher education faculty seeking to create more inclusive and compassionate learning communities.

Through topics such as inclusive leadership, compassionate justice, trauma-informed practices, faith and inclusive pedagogy, student well-being, difficult conversations, and equity-focused collaboration, Equity Apps encourages readers to move beyond theory into meaningful action and continuous reflection.

This workbook includes facilitator support materials, experiential learning activities, reflection prompts, and practical strategies for implementation in both K-12 and higher education settings. Whether used individually, in leadership cohorts, or as part of professional development programs, Equity Apps serves as a guide for educators striving to lead with empathy, courage, and intentionality.

 

Lori Kall

Dr. Lori Kall is an associate professor in the School of Education at Point Loma Nazarene University, where she serves as Director of Educational Leadership Programs. With over two decades of experience in K-12 education and ongoing work as a practicing school leader, Dr. Kall brings a deeply integrated lens to leadership, curriculum, and inclusive practice.

Her work centers on bridging research and real-world application, equipping educators to design equitable, student-centered learning environments. Since 2020, the framework presented in this book has driven the design of GEL 6004 and is embedded throughout the PASC and CASC credential programs, with ongoing data collection supporting continuous improvement. Findings from this work are currently being disseminated through book chapters, peer-reviewed articles, and professional presentations.

This book reflects a collaborative effort with colleagues across California, including Dr. Jennifer Moradian of Fresno State and Dr. Betty Alford of Cal Poly Pomona, grounded in a shared commitment to advancing inclusive practices in education.

Dr. Kall's current projects extend this work through the development of The Nurtured Child Project, an SEL 5-domain framework for K-8 schools, and Pabulum, a higher education model of classroom-based EXPERIENCES designed to cultivate inclusion between educators and students and among peers.

Her scholarship and teaching focus on curriculum innovation, equity-centered leadership, and the development of reflective practitioners who lead with purpose and compassion.
