School-based Equity Teams
Here, in Evergreen Public Schools, each of our schools has a school-based Equity Team. This became a requirement for all schools as of the 2022-23 school year. School-based Equity Teams are a diverse group of school stakeholders who inform and support the school's efforts to eliminate the predictability of outcomes by demographic group and provide students with what they need to be successful. This year, representatives from each school team meet monthly with Equity department staff to:
Calibrate our understanding of the work of the equity team this year
Build capacity to lead for equity through our foundational texts.
Identify professional, personal, and systemic barriers to Equity
Learn how to implement each step for effective Equity Transformation Cycles
Collaborate and share resources across schools
Elevate student and family voice
Representatives then take this information back to their school teams to implement.
