EQUITY

Equity means every learner has access to the resources and rigor they

need at the right moment in their education.

It is embedded in the framework to challenge and change equitable access, opportunity, and

outcomes experienced by learners underserved in schools.

“Principals must illustrate to staff how this initiative aligns to existing school, district, and state initiatives…

Specifically, administrators must align this initiative to the existing school mission, vision, and improvement plans…”

What commonalities do you see between Wisconsin’s Vision for an Equitable, Multi‐Level System of

Supports and Wisconsin’s Educator Effectiveness System?

How might you make the connections visible and explicit to staff?

Equitable, Multi‐Level Systems of Supports

and

Educator Effectiveness are all about improving

student learning!



9/9/2019 35

In order to improve student learning, we must change and improve schools and schooling!

“Most strategies for reform focus on structures, formal requirements, and events‐based activities…

They do not struggle directly with existing cultures and whether new values and practices may be required…

Restructuring (which can be done by caveat) occurs time and time again, whereas

Reculturing (how teachers come to change their beliefs and habits) is what is needed.”

Fullan, 2007

• Identify new practices/structures to be implemented

• Provide professional development (training)

“Once the capacity of teachers reaches a certain level, peer culture becomes the source of innovation & energy.

Thus, peers become change agents. This is good news for coaches, because developing peer cultures – and linking them to bigger systems – is the work they should do.”
