Mission:

The mission of the Equity Training and Development Team is to build capacity of MCPS instructional leaders to close the racial achievement gap and eliminate racial predictability in student achievement.

Enduring Understanding:

Race and culture exert a powerful influence on teaching and learning.

Essential Questions:

1. How do awareness, knowledge, and understanding of one’s own racial and cultural identity promote effective teaching and learning?

2. How do awareness, knowledge, and understanding the racial and cultural identity of students promote effective teaching and learning?

3. How can educators establish learning environments that are conscious of race and culture to ensure implementation of culturally responsive instruction?

Communicating High Expectations
to Students (CHETS)

This series of online modules is intended to assist instructional staff to understand the critical relationship between teacher expectations and student achievement. The modules provide a wide variety of learning experiences designed to assist teachers to examine their beliefs, values, attitudes, and dispositions as they influence teaching and learning.
