Equity measures currently in place will be regularly reviewed. A plan that has clear objectives, is based on data collected at your site, provides for evaluation of its effectiveness by a given date, and has staff approval and input from student leadership has a better chance of success than a plan that lacks these elements. Evaluation built into plan - Formal observations will be carried out to document the problem and its true extent. To address our third objective, we will ask advisors to help raise awareness of equity issues regarding computer lab use among students. This plan has been approved by the Steering Committee and staff and has been developed with input from student government.
Effective plans depend on knowing exactly what the problem is.
That is why collecting data about course enrollments and equipment usage is so important. To facilitate your data collection, we have included forms on computer laboratory usage and technology course enrollment to use as is or adapt to your particular circumstances. These forms can be used by staff as well as others to determine where inequities occur in your district or school.
