Social Justice
Students must be able to read, write, and examine ways of understanding power, privilege, and oppression in order to change our world for the better.
Parent Engagement
Even as you lead the complex task of advancing equity at your school, remember that this work is fundamentally about the children, families, and communities that you serve.
Data-
Driven
If educators and policymakers can resist efforts to make standardized measures the only way of gathering evidence of student learning, then we can reconfigure instruction to include tools, processes, and assessments that empower students to monitor their own learning.
Student-Teacher Relationships
It is a fact that teachers’ expectations impact their teaching and how they support students, they effectively open or close opportunities for their students’ growth, achievement, and academic success.
Intellectualism
Cultivating our students' intellect should be the goal of every school. If students are to see themselves as intellectual beings, they must step into classrooms where intellectualism is inculcated, expected, and nurtured on a daily basis.
Rigorous Instruction​
We need designers of curriculum and instruction, and leadership to be more culturally responsive when it comes to the content given to students in order to get it right for those who need it the most.
​
Schools should build hope by giving students ACCESS to grade-level content while also cultivating their intellect and building their knowledge and new ideas in the world.
