Vision Mission Values All students prepared for post-secondary pathways, careers, and civic engagement. Transform K– 12 education to a system that is centered on closing opportunity gaps and is characterized by high expectations for all students and educators. We achieve this by developing equitybased policies and supports that empower educators, families, and communities. • • Ensuring Equity Collaboration and Service Achieving Excellence through Continuous Improvement Focus on the Whole Child
Equity Statement Each student, family, and community possesses strengths and cultural knowledge that benefits their peers, educators, and schools. Ensuring educational equity: • Goes beyond equality; it requires education leaders to examine the ways current policies and practices result in disparate outcomes for our students of color, students living in poverty, students receiving special education and English Learner services, students who identify as LGBTQ+, and highly mobile student populations. • Requires education leaders to develop an understanding of historical contexts; engage students, families, and community representatives as partners in decision-making; and actively dismantle systemic barriers, replacing them with policies and practices that ensure all students have access to the instruction and support they need to succeed in our schools.

Hello! Lindsey Garcia AVID Lead, Vancouver Public Schools 23
1 What is the role of engagement in the CRE mental model? 24
What is CRE? 25
What is Culturally Responsive Education (CRE)? I think of CRE as a mental model that is useful for identifying themes and tools of practice for closing opportunity gaps. The CRE mental model gives conceptual context for policies and practices that focus on equity without marginalizing some students relative to others. It actively enlists the awareness of culture, race, ethnicity, gender, ability, and other social identity markers that shape the perceptions of educational opportunities. 26
