This case study focuses on equity audit efforts conduct ed by a principal intern serving in a job-embedded principal preparation residency program. Data from the equity audit is illustrated through tables along with the perception from the principal intern experience primarily focusing on equity within gifted and talented population. The case study is ambiguous yet intentional in providing instruction on how to conduct an equity audit and provide solutions to challenge the inequities found. This study can be used as a tool to use in educator preparation programs .
