Inclusivity & Persistence

Category : Ensuring Equitable Access and Implementation

Level : School

To what extent do schools provide all students with the services and support they need to ensure student growth, success, and persistence?

All students, regardless of income, race, language, or ability must have access to more and better learning time opportunities. The design of more and better learning time approaches and strategies must guarantee the inclusion of all groups and monitor their success and persistence in these programs. Ensuring the success of all students requires school partners to work together to document the progress of students and identify necessary resources or modifications that could improve outcomes.

• Student data is analyzed by subgroup in the more and better learning time effort, including disaggregating data by race, gender, English language learner status, and special education status.
•  Partners work with schools and use data to identify needed services.
• The following data is analyzed by subgroups (race, socio-economic status, language, immigration status, etc.):
  – Attendance rates
  – Four-year graduation rates
  – Dropout rates
