Application Analysis

You may delete the ACE logo, customize fields, delete these instructions, and delete any bracketed instructions as you polish the document as something you might produce in the real world. Use this template to develop your equity action plan using your findings from the Equity Audit Analysis in Module 1 and student performance data and Instructional Equity Audit in Module 2. Although this is not an APA-formatted paper, please include APA-formatted in-text citations and references to support your findings.

Equity Action Plan

[Your Name]

[Date]

[Compose an introduction to your action plan. The introduction should share your vision and expectation for equitable instruction.]

School Name
Mission and Vision
Student Population and Demographics

The Audit Team

[Who would you invite to participate in the audit team? Briefly describe the staff or stakeholders who will help carry out the action plan. Include important individual characteristics, skills, and roles. You may organize this information in a table.]

Data

Equity Audit

[Condense key findings from your M1 Equity Audit Analysis into this section.]

Instructional Equity Audit

[Condense the key findings from your M2 Instructional Equity Audit into this section.]

Three-Year School Performance Data

[Here, you will include an overview, screenshots, tables, graphics, or other methods of conveying critical student performance data you gathered previously in the Module 2 assignment. This section of the plan will be more robust because it is the basis of your action plan recommendations.]

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

Data Analysis

[Analyze and synthesize the data. What does the data tell you about actions needed? Compose 2-3 paragraphs accurately interpreting data with insightful and detailed assertions, supported by specific data points or trends.]

Instructional Models

[Utilize the data collected thus far to determine which of the instructional models—the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP®), Universal Design for Learning (UDL), culturally responsive teaching (CRT)—would best support student needs at your school. Discuss each of the models in order of priority for your school’s needs. Provide rationale. Connect each model to your data and recommend the model for concerted focus.]

Action Plan

Objective(s)

[List 1-2 measurable objectives of the action plan. At least one objective should be to introduce or prioritize the instructional model you identified in the previous section. The objectives statement should start with a verb and be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound.]

· Objective 1

· Objective 2 (optional)

Tasks

[Arrange tasks in chronological order. Add rows for additional tasks as needed. Ensure you’ve added enough detail in the task cell so stakeholders know exactly what will take place. Note: In the Module 3 assignment, you will develop a back-to-school professional development for your chosen instructional model, so you will include it as a task.]

Task	Responsible Person or Group	Timeline

Communication Plan

[Describe important communications required to inform stakeholders of the action plan. Arrange communication in chronological order. Add rows for additional tasks as needed.]

Conclusion

[Compose a paragraph explaining how this action plan will contribute to equity.]
