Equity: Wisconsin's Model to Inform Culturally Responsive Practices
Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction
Despite good intentions and efforts of individual educators and school systems across Wisconsin, broad K-12 achievement gaps exist. Indeed, the gaps between white students and students of color are among the worst in the nation; what's more, these gaps have persisted for over a decade (NAEP, 2015). Wisconsin's nearly 50,000 English Learners, over 100,000 students with disabilities, quarter of a million students of color, and greater than 350,000 students receiving free and reduced lunch (Wisconsin DPI, 2015) deserve equitable outcomes. And the time to act is now. The Model to Inform Culturally Responsive Practices describes the beliefs, knowledge, and practices Wisconsin educators, schools, and districts need to reach and teach diverse students within their culturally responsive multi-level systems of support. It's not a checklist or a toolkit; rather, cultural responsiveness is a way of being and knowing.
