A Systems Approach to Creating an Ecology of Equity in a High-Poverty School District. Field Facing Memo #6
Jaquith, Ann
Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education
This memo, which is the sixth in the series, highlights the ongoing work of the Sunnyside Unified School District (SUSD) to create an ecology of equity. Their efforts focus on developing a school system that fosters a belief in each person's capacity to learn (administrators, teachers, and students alike) and increases students' opportunities for success by helping them take responsibility for their own learning through the use of evidence. SUSD is also changing the conditions under which students learn by creating multilevel professional learning opportunities for adults in the district. The leadership of SUSD is committed to ensuring that its students will graduate high school being college, career, and community ready. In support of these goals, the superintendent of SUSD works in collaboration with the chief academic officer and chief school officer to support, develop, and strengthen the leadership of principals, a cadre of instructional coaches, and a growing number of teacher leaders in schools. [To read the fifth memo of the series, "Creating Identity-Safe Spaces so Feedback Can Educate and Motivate Learners," see ED605432.]
