Mid Atlantic Equity Consortium (MAEC)

History MAEC was founded in 1991, as an education non-profit dedicated to increasing access to a high quality education for culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse learners. Mission MAEC’s mission is to promote excellence and equity in education to achieve social justice. Vision MAEC envisions a day when all students have equitable opportunities to learn and achieve at high levels. Core Values Excellence, Equity, Integrity, Innovation, and Synergy Theory of Change MAEC believes that by increasing educator awareness, understanding, and skills to address factors which contribute to inequities, clients will become change agents and create positive learning environments where all students can succeed. MAEC's theory is based on a deep analysis of root causes of racial, cultural, linguistic, gender, and ethnic inequities in education. Current structural, cultural, and material policies and procedures impede low-income, African American, and Latino students (including English Learners) from achieving in school.
