Standards 8 and 9 Support the Other Standards

# data[].attributes.body
Standards 8 and 9 support the other standards as they take the core domains and move them to an even more successful school learning environment. For example, with strong curriculum and a caring environment students may learn a lot about writing. Engaging community partners, like bringing authors to speak to students or inviting parents who use writing in their careers can bring that learning to an even higher level. Similarly, teachers can bring an equity and culturally responsive lens into a lesson. To take the next step and support that initiative even more, school leaders can allocate funds for enhancing classroom and school libraries with books that support a culturally responsive vision. Standards 8 and 9 both take powerful practices and give school leaders the opportunity to make them even stronger.
