|
Background:
|
ACPS is making significant progress in student achievement; however gaps remain between groups. In an effort to address these gaps and to address areas of disproportionality, ACPS has committed to working with stakeholders on developing cultural competence through a system-wide initiative and sustained professional development. The Department of Student Services, Alternative Programs and Equity will build organizational capacity by developing the skills staff needs to eliminate the predictability of outcomes based on social identifiers.
