Get Help.
The work of creating an affirming, inclusive, and equitable learning environment for all students begins with a plan – a plan that is rooted in data, framed by achievable goals, aligned to existing resources, and tied to measurable outcomes. The Advancing Equity Cohort was created by SchoolWorks to help schools meet this complex challenge.
Team Up.
As part of the Advancing Equity Cohort (AEC), your school team will join other regional school teams in a guided learning experience that results in the creation and early-stage implementation of an equity focused action plan.
The AEC is:
– A guided community of practice focused on step-by-step equity planning (needs assessment, root cause analysis, prioritization, goal setting, and strategy selection).
– Led by an expert facilitator specializing in equity-focused improvement.
– Designed to foster a lasting peer support network among school teams facing similar challenges
Move the Work Forward.
Membership in the AEC results in a custom equity-focused action plan for your school and ongoing support for early-stage implementation. Members also gain networked support for the critical systems-level thinking inherent in this work.
