Equity Lens and
Goals of Educational Equity
![Page 5: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Equity Context and Lens
The Lens
The optic through which all of the business of the organization is filtered.
![Page 6: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Focusing the Equity Lens How does this (activity) impact all
learners? What might create a negative or
adverse impact on any identifiable population?
How do we address any adverse impact?
![Page 7: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How might that adverse impact be avoided?
What precautions should we take as we move forward? and,
How do we monitor our work and comparable outcomes for all students?
![Page 8: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

The Equity Context and Lens The Equity Context
The systems and structures that are put in place ensure that no learner is denied the fair and equitable benefit afforded to all other students regardless of race, gender, national origin, economic level, and disability .

Creating good community and school health
Creating a cradle to college and career pipeline
Eradicating the cradle to prison pipeline
. . .
![Page 16: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Common Core Standards The Common Core Standards lay a foundation
for system-wide education reform The standards reflect knowledge most critical
for college and career success The standards bring consistency across states The standards are more rigorous than most
state standards. The standards increase the coherence and rigor
of what is expected of American students.
![Page 17: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
BUT . . . There Are Some Concerns
By their own admission, the standards:1.Do not address interventions for students well below grade level;2.Do not delineate the full range of support for English language learners;3.Do not describe how teachers should teach
(CCSSO and NGA)
![Page 18: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
There are Other Civil Rights Concerns
The equity lens needs cleaning How does this (activity) impact all learners? What might create a negative or adverse impact on any
identifiable population? How do we address any adverse impact? How might that adverse impact be avoided? What precautions should we take as we move forward?
and, How do we monitor our work and comparable outcomes
for all students?
![Page 19: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The equity context is perforated
The systems and structures that are put in place ensure that no learner is denied the fair and equitable benefit afforded to all other students regardless of race, gender, national origin, economic level, and
handicap . Race to the Top Other competitive grants
![Page 20: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The performance field is uneven
Where do ELLs start? Where do the Low performers start? What do these standards look like in rural and remote
areas? What do these standards really look like in inner city
(distressed urban) versus suburban areas? What do they look like in tribal settings on and off
reservations? What do these standards look like in alternative school
settings?
![Page 21: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The goals of equity are fractured
Goal 1: Comparably High Achievement and Other Student Outcomes
Goal 2: Equitable Access and InclusionGoal 3: Equitable TreatmentGoal 4: Equitable Opportunity to LearnGoal 5: Equitable Resource DistributionGoal 6: Equitable Shared Accountability
![Page 22: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Teaching quality may fail some students
Knowledge and skills in first and second language acquisition
Skills for teaching the challenged learner Pedagogy that supports success in low
performing learners The use of culturally competent pedagogy PD for the “challenged pedagogue” Mis-alignment of practice, and Skewed expectations
![Page 23: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Quality leadership may fail to manifest itself
Teacher evaluation systems The principal as Learning Leader Assurance of protection of civil rightsunder
the law for non-discrimination Guarantees of equal protection under the
law and equal treatment The right to learn The appropriate distribution of resources to
support excellence for all (not just some) Accountability – Who’s responsible, who’s to
blame?
![Page 24: The Common Core Standards: A Civil Rights Perspective Bradley Scott, Ph.D. Director IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity bradley.scott@idra.org.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e3f5503460f94b2f62d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
In Truth . . .
Transforming systems requires: Moving from a different place to a
different place with the right intentionality
Dislodging our habits Seeing with a different lens Acting in a different way Being a professional who asserts “the
right”
