Increase cultural and economic diversity
Include higher levels of accountability for performance for all schools, not just those in affluent communities with greater family involvement
create awareness for underserved students in affluent schools attempting to maintain a competitive edge by disassembling inequitable outcomes
Most schools "tweak" current systems instead of challenging core attitudes and assumptions that exclude students...
Educators should see gaps as failures of systems, not students.
systematic overhauls begin with a culture that enables them to support every student.
students sense of belonging, the value they place on learning, and the beliefs about their potential to grow
leads to misinterpretation of students behaviors and needs
educator beliefs that some subgroups of students are naturally lacking in skill (poverty, race, etc)
tolerance for diversity creates equity
