The Sweetwater Union High School District celebrates diversity and ensures all students have an equal opportunity to achieve their academic goals by providing educators with climate and culture training that addresses the needs of distinct demographics.
The purpose of climate and culture training is to promote educational equity on each campus, which would ensure that historically underserved or underrepresented populations meet the same rigorous standards for academic performance expected of all students, regardless of their background.
To eliminate educational disparities and achieve systemic equity, the District has led school staff through data analysis sessions that takes a closer look at the structural and institutional biases that impact student outcomes and learning opportunities.
During these training sessions, teachers gain the knowledge and skills necessary to create a more equitable school climate that positively responds to a wide range of cultural norms, values and learning styles.
To show educational equity, each school must exhibit inclusion, fairness, equal access and positive outcomes: there must be caring relationships between peers and adults, each campus should be a healthy learning environment that promotes physical and emotional wellbeing, students must feel supported and should be expected to reach high levels of learning and achievement.
