ACTION FOR EQUITY PHASE 2: Experience Success
80% of Districts Renew.
As your district moves toward a Fall in which – perhaps for the first time – its student diversity will be fully reflected in AP/IB, we are committed to providing the support your team needs to ensure their long-term success. The Experience Success support level seamlessly continues with a level of in-person support similar to what your team experienced previously and builds upon the set of strategies deployed to enable sustained impact for underrepresented students’ participation and success in AP/IB coursework.
We recommend you continue to engage regularly with an assigned Partnership Director, in addition to accessing our full suite of data tools. This service level is detailed below. Request your Collaboration Agreement (CA) today. Renewals due April 13, 2018.
EXPERIENCE SUCCESS: NEW FEATURES
Belonging is a prerequisite for learning. Students rise, or fall, to the expectations set by adults. Equitable access and opportunity demonstrates a belief in student potential and must be met by equitable opportunities to succeed.
EXPERIENCE SUCCESS: NEW FEATURES
New to the Experience Success Offering:
- EOS, with support from Stanford’s PERTS team, has developed Learning Mindset Activations for students and staff. These online activities are proven to shape mindsets in students and staff and improve student academic performance.
- The Student Experience Survey and Report is designed to provide a year-end portrait of the quality of student experiences in AP/IB classes in your school.
Continued for the Experience Success Offering:
- Clients are assigned a Partnership Director (PD) who is onsite on a regular basis (up to 6 visits*), providing strategic coaching, stakeholder engagement, data interpretation, and project management.
- Schools will continue to receive an Equity Pathways Report, their comprehensive analysis of AP/IB gaps, key barriers to access, and trends in student belonging; and the Support Report, which is a set of concrete recommendations for supporting both students and staff.
* Travel costs to be reimbursed by schools and districts.
