BEP077 – Designing Equity-Based Goals
15 minutes Posted Mar 16, 2021 at 12:00 pm.
Schools setting goals based on data on student academic success
Schools also set goals based on specific subgroups
Trying to understand where some of the goals developed for subgroups came from
You look into the data, you see some gaps, you want to target success in those specific areas. And then you set those sub-goals based on where those gaps are.
When we ignore the data indicating that certain subgroups are in crisis, we’re also ignoring their experience.
How are we gathering as a community around these needy kids?
Personalized learning comes in to meet the students at their individual needs
If you plan for your neediest students, everyone’s going to benefit.
We need to plan from the student up, not the teacher down.
