The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA) provides state education agencies (SEA) with more flexibility to rethink how to identify and address low school performance while elevating the role of local education agencies (LEAs) in supporting schools in need of improvement. As states pursue plans to support schools with the most need for improvement, three frameworks are particularly promising in addressing the problems of inequity and low performance: (1) Commitment to Equity; (2) School Improvement Systems; and (3) Rapid School Improvement Practices and Indicators. These three resources, each a framework of sorts, offer strategies and practices that could drive dramatic improvement for all schools, especially those with the greatest gaps and disparities. This paper identifies connections among the three frameworks and offers specific recommendations that leverage these connections in an equity-conscious approach to improve school and student performance. An equity-conscious approach to school improvement would inform the most effective strategies to be employed at each level of the education system and would guide the successful implementation of these strategies so each student can receive the instruction, services, and supports necessary for success.
