Furthering School Integration Efforts in Local Communities: A Professional Development Manual for School District Stakeholders

Equity Assistance Center Region III, Midwest and Plains Equity Assistance Center
Nearly 70 years after one of the most important U.S. Supreme Court rulings was handed down in Brown v. Board of Education (1954) declaring segregated schools unconstitutional, the promise of desegregation has remained unfulfilled. However, there are still actions that can be taken to address the extant disparities in schools that exist in large part because of the inequitable opportunities provided to children attending schools that are predominantly comprised of low-income students and students of color. This Equity Tool seeks to further school integration efforts in school communities by offering a professional learning session that provides resources and activities for district stakeholders to engage in, better evaluate where their school communities are in the school integration process, and where they would like to go in the future. Each activity in the professional learning session is specifically designed to build off the previous one with the final activity of the session leading to action that can occur in the school community that attends to school integration. The goals of this session are: (1) To educate school district stakeholders about the benefits and challenges associated with school integration; (2) To teach school district stakeholders how to support and advocate for school integration in their local communities; and (3) To encourage school district stakeholders to commit to school integration in their local communities.
