Application Analysis

Creating an Action Plan for Equity – Part II Submit the assignment by 11:59 PM PT Sunday of Module 2.

In the Module 1 assignment, you conducted an equity audit for a school, its classrooms, and teacher behaviors. You also explored various instructional models and frameworks in the presentation videos, such as the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP®) model, the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, and the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) instructional method.

In this assignment, you will dig into your school’s data to analyze instructional practices affecting equitable learning opportunities. You will evaluate school data, research available and used instructional models, and conduct an instructional equity audit. Then, you will combine your analyses from Module 1 and Module 2 to develop an action plan for a campus leadership team audience.

Step 1 Collect at least 3 years of student performance data for your school, including student scores on state exams, grades, or other metrics your school uses to measure student achievement. You will convey these data in the action plan.

Analyze the data using these guiding questions:

Who is succeeding academically? Who is not succeeding academically? What are the trends? What are the strengths? What specific outcomes are needed?

Your data may look like the data in the ACE Sample School Data Packet.

Step 2 To better create an instructional equity audit, review the Module 1 and Module 2 presentation videos and research:

how to determine which target group is a priority key considerations when determining an instructional model criteria of success for instructional models

Step 3 Download and complete the ACE Instructional Equity Audit. If you have time, consult with your administrator or mentor as you fill it out.

Step 4 Download the ACE Equity Action Plan Template. Use the template to compose a 5- to 6-page evidence-based action plan to increase equity at the school. Your action plan will look different from an APA-formatted essay. Instead, modify the template to create something that looks like a document you would use as a principal.

Step 5 Use the Module 2 assignment rubric to informally assess your work and ensure you have met all requirements.

Then, submit two file uploads:
