Methods and instruments of student assessment are free of bias. Over time, assessment demonstrates significant increase in the rate of achievement of traditionally underrepresented students in mathematics and science. Every teacher has access to professional development that helps address diversity issues in classrooms. Teachers are supported by school districts to teach diverse populations of students. Professional development activities address equity and diversity in the K-12 classroom.
Equity is infused throughout all professional development activities.
Management and Governance Districts have at least one School Board adopted policy that increases equity for students. Districts have a plan developed that translates their equity policy into action. Policy and plan are disseminated to School Board members, parents, teachers and administrators. District hiring policies encourage that teachers and school administrators reflect the diversity of the student population. Resources have been allocated to address equity concerns.
