Equity and Excellence

An ROE three year action plan (2009-12) was finalized in spring 2009 by the steering committee composed of DuPage educators and was shared with every school district.  The overarching goal of the plan is to ensure that all students achieve their full potential within the thriving, global DuPage community. 

 

ROE staff has launched numerous seminars, academies and research studies to raise awareness within the academic community regarding the ongoing challenge and commitment to closing the achievement gap. Strategies for closing the achievement gap include working with school and district based teams to effectively identify challenges. Collaboratively, we identified and developed over 50 research-based solutions that resulted in interventions in the following areas:

  • English Language Learner Education

  • School Diversity

  • Student Motivation

  • Student-Staff Relationships

  • Hispanic and African-American Culture, Trends, and Issues

  • Minority Parent Involvement

  • Cultural Competence

  • Courageous Conversations
