As your team goes through the steps below, document your progress using the
Completed Examples:
1 Identify a pressing equity challenge to improve (e.g. low reading scores for EL students; high suspensions of African American boys)
1 Identify a pressing equity challenge to improve (e.g. low reading scores for EL students; high suspensions of African American boys)
The equity challenge should be aligned to a goal in the schools SPSA and/or the districts LCAP. To determine the equity challenge, teams should engage in a needs assessment and analyze any relevant data (dashboard data, assessments, etc.)
2 Understand the equity challenge and the system that produces it - Identifying possible root causes and drafting a problem of practice

6 If needed, gather baseline data for your small dot aim and make your aim statement SMARTE.
6 If needed, gather baseline data for your small dot aim and make your aim statement SMARTE.
Decide on common measures for your small dot aim and collect baseline data. Make your aim statement SMARTE. Disaggregate your baseline data by student group (ELs, SWDs, YiT).
