The purpose of this task is to surface where your team is in the improvement process and to share successes and challenges. This is also an opportunity to get some advice or feedback from other coordinators in our network. Please take some time to complete a quick write in response to the below questions. Middle school coordinators, you may choose to write about 6 & 7 or 8th or both:

• What is the test of change that your school is working on?

• If you haven't started a test of change, what do you see as barriers preventing work on a test of change?

• What has been successful with the test of change?

• What challenges are your facing with the test of change?

• How are you using student data to measure success?

• What are your next steps?

When you are ready, please add your test of change reflection to the Google Slide with your school name. You might also choose to add links to documents or images to help us better understand what your team is working on.

Please take about 10 minutes to write in response to the following questions. You'll be sharing your responses in your small group:

1. When you started thinking about your background to write your autobiography, what were the first things you thought about when it came to how you have come to understand race, ethnicity and culture?

2. What experience(s) in your life made race and racism a reality for you? How does race and racism relate to your culture?

3. How have race, racism, and culture impacted your lived experiences as they relate to your educational and professional decisions as well as your social life?

Please take about 20 minutes in your break out room to discuss your responses to the above reflection questions. Once everyone has had an opportunity to share, please discuss the following:

• How have your lived experiences, particularly as they relate to race, racism, and culture, influenced your interactions in your school and classroom?

Please be prepared to share your thinking with the group during our whole group discussion.
