It's possible to give equity to students when teachers also receive equity and the resources that they need.

Is that happening?? You know the answer.

# data[].attributes.body
How is it equitable that the top students in FFSD get a brand new school with the best resources while our struggling students are lacking in resources and a sufficient amount of teachers to reach their needs.

Emotional support animals provide therapeutic benefits that alleviate one or more identified symptoms or effects of an individual’s disability, or emotional support to a disabled individual who has a disability-related need for such support. An emotional support animal may be a dog, a cat, or many other kinds of animal.

# data[].attributes.body
Equity in our schools begins with a true belief that ALL STUDENTS can meet the rigorous academic standards despite the social and economic challenges our community faces. It is up to all FFSD staff to command that failure is not an option and be relentless in moving students to success (through high quality instruction, consistent expectations and deep authentic relationships with our community).

# data[].attributes.body
Equity is when teachers plan for each group of students individual needs  Meaning give each child what they need to be successful.

Having rigorous, complex texts for all students. RESOURCES! having high expectations for all students and holding them accountable to those expectations. Giving all students the tools necessary to reach those expectations.

What we do will definitely impact our economy. If our students do not have specialized skills and/or training they will default to accepting marginalized positions in our society that do not pay much. This will create and unhealthy work like balance that will ultimately negatively impact our region

I find myself needing to work to change the classroom culture for students to help them to make and see the value of goal-making. Our students are good at "playing school," expecting worksheets and "in-and-out" education without developing or applying larger, more complex skills and critical thinking. Equity can be achieved when the students also believe they are capable and empowered to take learning risks and push themselves to larger understandings and wider perspectives.

# data[].attributes.body
Equity is differentiation in my co-taught class so all of my students at their different levels can be successful

# data[].attributes.body
Means meeting students where they are and having the ability, support and resources to help them work towards where they need to be.

# data[].attributes.body
The strength needed to ensure our students are supported and can reach the goals they deserve begins with the teachers. As support positions disappear, more non teaching responsibilities are placed on teachers taking our time away from  effective planning, assessing, data gathering, and making sure every student is supported.

# data[].attributes.body
Equity does not mean sameness -- it means fair opportunity, fair access to resources, fair access to the same high quality education.  Differentiation is still a major component of equity.

# data[].attributes.body
equity means giving my students the tools they need to communicate their ideas need and want effectively in our society whether it be for personal or professional needs. This means they should be able to read write and speak effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
Equity in the classroom can also be viewed in the area of types of learners. As a new teacher I find it hard to keep things equitable with the various types of learners in one classroom setting. Visual learners learn different than auditory or kinesthetic  learners and having to come up with a lesson plan that supports all is difficult in order to keep things equitable on how the students learn as we can't separate the types of learners and just have classes were you just have one type of learner in the class. In all my years teaching, PD attendance and educational courses in college this is one point I'd love to get feedback on.

We can't have it until we have the kind of rigor that allows ALL students to be challenged. Lowering standards either behaviorally or academically so that students can be successful is not going to ensure equity.

Doesn’t mean everyone gets the same, it means every student is getting what they need. More opportunities for individual instruction would help students a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
Equity begins with giving our students the opportunities to research and write and have discussions by exposing them to various cultural and religious traditions and practices. Equity also means allowing our students to be exposed to current happenings to stay aware of their environment and how it impacts them and how they can utilize their skills to create a more even playing field for all stakeholders.

# data[].attributes.body
Equity means having a mixture of high, medium, and low students in a classroom

The use of technology has allowed all of our students access the materials and learn how they learn. In one classroom, they have in-class instruction from one teacher, get on the Google classroom for the 2nd, and then use MobyMax to get a 3rd access point into the material. Many students have taken that a step further and are now doing their own research for resources.
We have also implemented the use of the workshop model to provide more chances to access the material through different types of activities.
The last piece is to make every student understand that they are skillful and to help build their self-esteem and through that, their grit.

I know that you have teachers who continually go above and beyond to mitigate outside circumstances while never giving in to them as excuses.   We fight for our kids because they deserve the best possible education and anything less would be unforgivable.  If that's not equity, then clearly I do not know what it is.

I believe that it is important to raise up each and every student.  Libraries should provide all access to all students.  Materials in the class and in the library should honor and reflect all students at all levels.  I am proud to say my staff at MHS strives each day to reach all students and celebrate the rich diversity of culture and backgrounds at McCluer.

# data[].attributes.body
I question what material are we teaching students that is relevant  and what is the end goal? are we pushing college and the all mighty ACT score. or are we trying to create productive citizens. I think education is stuck in the past and our discussions about equity are push students towards a college path. where most students should be looking at trade school or on the job training.

How can we have equity in this district when the have's get everything and the have not's get the most barebones education possible. We built an entire new school for only the top 5 percent of students in our district. The rest of the schools are left with oversized classroom, fewer teachers and adult 🤬, and students with a large variety of needs. Even within our school we have segregated out the smartest kids and put them on one team with small class sizes so they get more individualized attention. Meanwhile, the students who need the most help and attention get stuck in rooms with a ratio of 28 to 1, and very little education happens, it is more classroom management. The students who need the most help get the least help. If you stop and think about it, the lowest tier students are the ones we should be pulling out of classrooms and putting into a different program where they can get their needs met on a more individual basis. The 5 percenters get pushed further because they get a better education than the lower 30 percent. This opens their lives to more opportunities once they leave our school. It would take a radical shift in thinking to make any changes.

# data[].attributes.body
I am collaborating with teachers in developing a massive ITEF grant to expand what the school can do to teach multimedia skills and production. There is no reason my wife's students in Parkway should experience this and mine should not. I am not sitting on my hands and saying "we ain't got any money." I need to preach and share what our kids are capable of and what we need.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are not prepared for life after high school.  Teachers are made to lower expectations to keep students from failing.  Lowering expectations is not fair to our students and they are not learning the things they need to be successful in life.  The majority of our students are smart enough to do the higher level of work but we do not push them.  We allow them to be lazy and skate by on minimal effort.  This is a HUGE fail for our students.  We need to raise standards back up and make students aware that we believe in them and their potential for success.

As much as possible, I organise my classroom to provide as much flexible seating as possible. For example, I offer student work areas for students who prefer to work solo, students who work best in pairs and students who work in groups and providing work areas to work sitting and standing. I provide acceptable "break" opportunities for students who need to self regulate... taking the battle out of issues like hall passes, comfort needs etc.

Nurturing Equity requires getting to know the clientele...the students in your classroom, in the building and the families and communities that surround them. Since "culture" is the product of family, neighborhood, community and regional histories, this combination of influences on how a student perceives themselves and the world is complex. Realistically, we can't become intimately familiar with that much detail; HOWEVER, that does not excuse us from trying to understand what expectations and needs students have coming into the classroom and how those match or do not match the goals we have for them. Our relationship and instructional goals, if focused on closing the gap between student understandings and our educational goals, can help narrow the equity gaps in education.

As much as possible, I organise my classroom to provide as much flexible seating as possible. For example, I offer student work areas for students who prefer to work solo, students who work best in pairs and students who work in groups and providing work areas to work sitting and standing. I provide acceptable "break" opportunities for students who need to self regulate... taking the battle out of issues like hall passes, comfort needs etc.

I have a couple of gentlemen who are failing my class because they are struggling to complete pretty much every assignment.  But I know they both have a lot of skill and they are really thoughtful young men capable of a lot.  I have started having "lunch dates" with them (because lunch detention in the art room sounds so punitive and negative).  They are having lunch with me everyother day until they are back on track and bring their grades up to Bs.  I'm determined to not let them fail.

Nurturing Equity requires getting to know the clientele...the students in your classroom, in the building and the families and communities that surround them. Since "culture" is the product of family, neighborhood, community and regional histories, this combination of influences on how a student perceives themselves and the world is complex. Realistically, we can't become intimately familiar with that much detail; HOWEVER, that does not excuse us from trying to understand what expectations and needs students have coming into the classroom and how those match or do not match the goals we have for them. Our relationship and instructional goals, if focused on closing the gap between student understandings and our educational goals, can help narrow the equity gaps in education.

What are we doing as a district....to ensure that we are being TRUE authentic educators?  Teachers are not holding ALL students to high expectations.  Students have become lazy because teachers have not held their students to high standards. My students whine that I actually grade work vs. grading "just for completion." How am I teaching my students to be successful in the real world, if I am not holding them to high expectations. In the real world, a job would just fire them. We can become equitable by holding them to high standards. I come from a large district in STL, it's been a wakeup call for some of my students, as they are not used to such high expectations. My class is very rigorous and I am not going to lower my expectations. I am being equitable by holding all students to these expectations. I go above and beyond. Always!

Equity looks like working with students at their level of understanding. Equity sounds like different students working at different products and levels but on the same standard. Equity feels like empowering students where they are and helping them to grow.

Equity in the Middle School Art Room
Equity in the Middle School Art Room
I have a couple of gentlemen who are failing my class because they are struggling to complete pretty much every assignment.  But I know they both have a lot of skill and they are really thoughtful young men capable of a lot.  I have started having "lunch dates" with them (because lunch detention in the art room sounds so punitive and negative).  They are having lunch with me everyother day until they are back on track and bring their grades up to Bs.  I'm determined to not let them fail.

Nurturing Equity requires getting to know the clientele...the students in your classroom, in the building and the families and communities that surround them. Since "culture" is the product of family, neighborhood, community and regional histories, this combination of influences on how a student perceives themselves and the world is complex. Realistically, we can't become intimately familiar with that much detail; HOWEVER, that does not excuse us from trying to understand what expectations and needs students have coming into the classroom and how those match or do not match the goals we have for them. Our relationship and instructional goals, if focused on closing the gap between student understandings and our educational goals, can help narrow the equity gaps in education.

The students we work with now are the movers and shakers for the future of the St. Louis Region.  We want them to be able to problem solve in EVERY aspect of their lives.
Equity means the knowledge and skills is accessible to EVERY student.  All learning  must be supported with multiple pathways to incorporate the new knowledge must be accessable and usable with what they already know so all can find success integrating the new learning into what they already know.
Bold important words in tests to support below grade level readers.

What we do in the classroom impacts the entire state. We are training the next generation of workers for jobs that don't quite exist yet.

Equity in the classroom, currently, feels as if there is no equity for all the students if they are behind grade level in reading or math.

At our school, we try to provide those  keys through close readings, thinking maps, high-interest writing prompts, and other means.

All children get a chance to participate and choose their starting level or goal mark. Ms Prinster’s one mile practice runs allow her runners to set a goal that changes incrementally on a daily basis.

Equity in PE looks like providing a rigorous lesson where you have fair expectations for all your students.  Fair is not always equitable.

Being intentional about who is being left out/excluded and making others aware of this discrepancy. Have a conversation with students about why they're making the decision and do they know how it affects the teammate(s)?
Helping other students who are afraid of looking bad/failing in front of their peers. Understanding that failure is a part of learning and how to improve from failure.

As much as possible, I organise my classroom to provide as much flexible seating as possible.  For example,  I offer student work areas for students who prefer to work solo, students who work best in pairs and students who work in groups and providing work areas to work sitting and standing.  I provide acceptable "break" opportunities for students who need to self regulate... taking the battle out of issues like hall passes, comfort needs etc.
