As a person who experienced a version of this program in my youth, I feel very deeply the messages that kids receive. Being told that I needed "extra study skills" essentially because I came from a bad school, which translates as being "underrepresented", made an impression on me I'll never forget. The message I got was that "Without ever meeting you, we've decided that you and where you come from aren't good enough."  It played directly into my fears and feelings about stereotypes and I didn't take or engage in any high level STEM classes at that institution. I felt like an unwelcome, unqualified outsider; and that feeling never really went away.

I'm honestly not sure what to say. The problem seems really clear from a CRT perspective, but it feels like our school doesn't really get what Culturally Responsive Teaching is. It has felt very much like a buzzword that many people use but don't really understand or have a background in. To me, this issue is indicative of larger problems in the school. I know this just for the proposal tomorrow, but it makes it really clear.

When trying to get people on board with something, use their own language.

Biology is a collective freshman experience. They all do a Betta Fish lab, they all do all these fun things together and the AMP kids are just out of that. It just seems damaging to the fabric of the freshman class.

be careful to say something like, "although it is intended to be about academic preparedness, there is an unintentional perception that these students will not do well in science" or something like that

The reason academic counsel doesn't get it is because of their white privilege. Maybe they don't understand how STEM is a privilege and we are taking it away from those that are disadvantaged.

Even though it's only a small number of students, that message is being spread far and wide every time an AMP girl or POC speaks with their classmates.

I find your proposal encourages us to respond to a very real problem by encouraging decisions be made by parents in a context with support for good decision-making. We constantly say that parents are the primary educators of our students. So, it seems then that we should empower parents to make decisions about the course students would delay if they enter into the AMP program -- science, language, or PE / ethnic studies.

I am most impressed by the students in AMP who have an attraction to science but could not take the course.

I think it will come down to how you approach and set up the big picture.

I think it is so important and powerful to share the quotes from various folks in this proposal, it really highlights who is failed by this program and how

The quotes are super powerful!

You are doing a really good job! This is a huge fight and you are doing the right thing. YAS YAS YAS YAS!

Go Jen! I think just keep it coming back to the fact that students are not given a choice and there is danger in that.
