Our Commitment to Equity & Inclusion

Achieving true equity requires you to look at all aspects, from both a larger systems perspective and an individual student perspective. You put differentiated and culturally relevant systems in place to ensure that every child has an equal chance for success. This requires you to understand the unique challenges and barriers faced by individual students or populations of students and you provide the support to help them overcome those barriers. You do this by establishing and maintaining cooperative working relationships with students and team members based on trust, understanding, and respect for the communities in which they identify.
