Continuum on Becoming An Anti-Racist

I chose this rubric to evaluate where my school fits in this continuum. I feel like my school is in between "Symbolic Change" and "Identity Change".  I came to this conclusion because I feel like the anti-racist policy changes and curriculum changes have been surface-level. In other words, I feel we are not changing the structure of "Behavioral Intervention Time" or "data-driven assessments". Instead, we make small cosmetic changes that continue to produce the same inequities without changing the structure. We practice social emotional learning, but in designated time blocks. Even that aspect has to fit within the structure of the institution.
