Agenda Item Summary:
|
ACPS has taken strategic steps over the past two years to build organizational capacity for making data informed decisions through an equity lens. Attending to the key environmental factors of trust, listening, and self-reflection is a critical first step in building the team’s capacity for learning from data and confronting historic inequities and the systems that perpetuate them. This work was done through workshops with school and department improvement teams in summer 2019 and will be experienced by the Board in their January 29 retreat.
|
|
Background:
|
In order to have honest and productive team conversations about systemic inequities, research points to the importance of trust, listening, and self-reflection within and across participants. These ideas were folded into the sessions with schools and departments. The Board will be provided similar experiences during their upcoming retreat to both create familiarity with what staff experienced and to create the opportunity for new learning.

Recommendation:
|
The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the information contained within this memo to prepare for the January 29 School Board Retreat.
