Overview

Presenters: Erin McGary-Hamilton, Johnna Timmes

Supporting Equitable SLCs focuses on the continuing efforts of
secondary schools to minimize tracking and provide high expectations
and challenging curriculum for all students. In order to accomplish
these goals, schools need to enter into difficult conversations
involving:

1. Data analysis on current student placement
2. Barriers to meaningful access and success in high level courses for
diverse populations
3. Interdisciplinary instructional strategies and resources to ensure
rigor, relevance, and student success
4. Action steps for implementation of an equity plan

Participants

Interdisciplinary teams of teachers that share a common set of
students, SLC teacher teams including administrators and counselors
that are building/strengthening their SLCs.
