The Equity Strands are used for clear alignment to systemic equity.
Systems: To ensure a systemic and continuous development toward advancing equity within all policies, processes, procedures, initiatives, decision-making, and fiscal responsibility.
Teaching and Learning: To intentionally embed equity-driven pedagogy in the curriculum, resources, instructional approaches, use, and consideration of assessments and academic programming for the purpose of advancing equity for each student.
Student Voice, Climate, and Culture: To consistently seek students’ feedback and experiences and nurture a positive, authentic, and meaningful organizational culture and climate.
Professional Learning: To provide a continuum of professional learning and growth opportunities for all staff in pursuit of fully understanding and embracing educational equity.
Family and Community as Agency: To partner with families and the community for authentic opportunities to serve the students, the school, and the district.
