Stretching Our Thinking

Access to a quality education is one of the most effective ways to combat institutional discrimination. Educators can assist with this goal.

Students, regardless of the school district they attend, should be guaranteed a quality education.  This includes effective transportation to and from school, a safe school to attend, high quality teachers, effective academic programming, and family support services.

 Many of students don't come to school as often as they should due to transportation issues as well as fear and anxiety when faced with possible verbal or physical threats in the school buildings. Our District also has difficulty recruiting certified teachers and other staff to work with our students. What can the District do to resolve this challenge?  We also need to verify that the academic programs which are being implemented have data that support their effectiveness. We can also provide strategies for families to implement at home which increase language development and background knowledge that support academic progress.
