School Equity Audits
Proven, comprehensive, research-based audit that identifies your specific equity issues and provides strategies customized for your district. After a months-long process, you’ll know the challenges you’re facing and actions you can lead forward.
Without a comprehensive audit, districts and school leaders are only left guessing how to address their achievement and discipline gaps—or why those gaps exist in the first place. This leads to wasted efforts trying to solve the symptom, not the cause, which prevents real change from happening. We look well beyond "achievement gaps" alone, and more at the humanization of students in school.
How schools are evaluated.
After all the data is collected and analysis is completed, we use the latest technologies to pinpoint the exact sources of the disparities in your schools and district. The output is a report that you can read and share—a playbook that shows the challenges and how we recommend they can be overcome.
How audits are structured.
Your school’s final Equity Audit will look at your school’s trends, policies, practices, cultures, and gaps. It will identify specific sources of your disparities and will offer recommendations based on these school-specific findings. For our district partners, we also identify district-level trends.
Schools can also consider these equity add-ons:
How schools are involved.
As your partner, an Equity Audit happens for you and with you—not to you. We collaborate at every step, answer any question you may have, and make sure all relevant people know what’s happening and why it matters.
By partnering together, we’ll continue to make headway in the critical equity work needed in our schools.
“Studying literature is one thing- a helpful thing, but having the opportunity to experience the Culturally Responsive Leadership Institute’s content in a facilitated, in-person setting was altogether priceless! Our building leaders enjoyed the CRSLI’s team presentation style AND were pushed to reflect deeply on their practice as leaders. The readings, presentation content, and reflective exercises prompted thinking that is showing up in more recent conversations. Folks are curious and questioning, and we are thrilled to continue this journey!”
