Énoncé de mission
Le Comité pour l'équité et l'excellence espère parvenir à un équilibre, une équité et une diversité complets en se concentrant et en travaillant à minimiser les écarts éducatifs et financiers/de ressources entre les écoles du district 3.
L'ordre du jour de ce comité est présenté à la communauté du District 3 afin de manifester un grand changement et repose sur la force de notre compréhension morale selon laquelle des ressources équitables et un accès équitable à une éducation de haute qualité pour tous les étudiants, quels que soient leur sexe, leur race, leur code postal, leur religion, leur état physique. capacités ou orientation sexuelle est obligatoire pour les familles que nous servons.
Nous cherchons à lutter contre tout comportement systémique ou fondamental qui encourage et maintient les écoles du district 3 à avoir un écart reconnaissable entre les écoles les plus performantes, les plus performantes et les moins performantes du district, au point qu'elles sont maintenues et traitées comme des écoles distinctes. établissements. Ce comité s’efforcera d’éliminer l’écart afin de respecter la loi du pays et notre conviction selon laquelle « les établissements d’enseignement séparés sont intrinsèquement inégaux ».
Cet objectif sera atteint en fournissant :
Soutien – Créer un espace permettant aux parents et aux chefs d’établissement de partager leurs expériences en matière d’iniquité et d’identifier les lacunes en matière de financement, de ressources et de programmes.
Évaluation - Identifier les lacunes financières/ressources et éducatives, puis grâce à des solutions de recherche et d'élaboration de stratégies de données pour construire, développer, itérer et améliorer l'accessibilité de nos élèves aux ressources et à un programme d'études solide dans toutes les classes et tous les niveaux dans toutes les écoles du district 3.
Sensibilisation - Partenariat et implication des parents du district 3, du DOE et des élus dans l'élimination des lacunes institutionnelles et éducatives.
Ressources – Créer un centre d'échange de ressources permettant aux écoles d'avoir un meilleur accès au financement et aux dons en nature.

June 11th Equity & Excellence Committee Meeting
Retrospective - Insights and Data
I was happy to conduct the retrospective exercise and was even more pleased with the conversation and results.
This information has been shared with the Superintendent, principals, and teachers in attendance.
You'll find attached the data and insights put together from the event. This is through the lens as a parent, CEC member, and product developer. What is detailed below is how I've scrubbed and sliced the data so it can be helpful to you. Note that the raw data from the event is in the raw data page.
Themes & Topics
Common themes were put together based on the attendees' feedback. These themes cut across the three original topics (Remote Learning, Assessment, and Special Education Plans).
The original topics were provided so folks had a frame of reference when commenting, and also provided some framing regarding the initial slice taken during the retro. What emerged were themes and topics.
The topics provide an opportunity to quickly understand what the theme covers.
Questions & Considerations
The themes and topics are boiled down to some questions and things to consider as we move forward. I've done my best to stay away from providing solutions. Ideally, the questions should help to realize what a solution could look like.
Couple additional notes:
-
Usually, during a retrospective, the facilitator is trying to get unique comments per person, but because this was done in a digital chat, a "riot mentality" manifested where people frequently repeated what someone else said. As a rule of thumb, facilitators are trying to avoid this behavior; although this organically happens during the retrospective when done in person.
In a controlled, in-person environment, people write their own thoughts, and when there are identical comments, it infers something to make note of. When using a chat, it's overwhelming and hard to avoid.
A lot of repeats and "kudos" comments were removed; although I was not overly diligent with this. I did my best to keep the data clean. -
A lot of comments were general statements without a lot of contexts or additional information. I've used these comments as I understood the context, but I am aware that a different meaning might have been intended.
-
No one's name was left in the comments, so they are all anonymous.
-
If a comment was submitted by a principal or teacher (assuming they could identify by name in the original chat file), their comment is preceded with PRINCIPAL or TEACHER.
-
A few comments did not get added as they didn't have a place that aligned to a theme. There were very few of these. They were left in bold in the raw data tab for future reference
