My IS project was focused on pushing past engagement. I struggled for a while with community "empowerment" because it felt like that meant I had power I was giving away, as though it's mine to decide. I've settled on community "co-design." My IS project is largely around how we can increase our relationship between school staff and specifically families of students on IEPs. We have data that clearly shows a student's race and disability are stubborn predictors of a student's success, or more often than not, failures.
