In response to last week’s lawsuit filed on behalf of several school districts, the state of Texas now faces the possibility of a fifth consecutive year without issuing consequential school ratings. The 2018-19 school year was the first and only year in which Texas identified underperforming schools — schools have not received publicly available ratings for three school years since. On the blog, Judith Cruz explores why this prolonged delay hurts local school system leaders, families, students, and taxpayers. https://edtru.st/3zaqSYC

Advancing policies and practices to dismantle the racial and economic barriers embedded in the American education system
Über uns
EdTrust promotes high academic achievement for all students at all levels—pre-kindergarten through college. Our goal is to close the gaps in opportunity and achievement that consign far too many young people—especially those from low-income families or who are Black, Latino, or American Indian—to lives on the margins of the American mainstream. Although many organizations speak up for the adults employed by schools and colleges, we speak up for students, especially those whose needs and potential are often overlooked. We evaluate every policy, every practice, and every dollar spent through a single lens: what is right for students. We work alongside educators, parents, students, policymakers, and civic and business leaders in communities across the country, providing practical assistance in their efforts to transform schools and colleges into institutions that serve all students well. We analyze local, state, and national data and use what we learn to help build broader understanding of achievement and opportunity gaps and the actions necessary to close them. We participate actively in national and state policy debates, bringing lessons learned from on-the-ground work and from unflinching data analyses to build the case for policies that will help all students and schools reach high levels of achievement. Our Core Beliefs: We believe in the power of education to close the gaps that separate low-income students and students of color from other young Americans. We believe that schools and colleges, appropriately organized, can help virtually all students master the knowledge they need to succeed. We believe long-standing gaps in opportunity, achievement, and attainment have roots inside and outside of schools. And though we know these gaps are stubborn, we also know they are not inevitable. We believe a strong education improves the lives of young people, is vital to sustaining our democracy, and strengthens America.

Pathways help students move from P-12 to higher education and their careers more seamlessly. They allow students to pursue degrees and certificates that align with their interests and career aspirations and see the steps needed to achieve those aspirations. In a new report alongside All4Ed, we outline our vision for equitable pathways that ensure that all students, particularly students of color and from low-income backgrounds, get access to college and career opportunities. https://edtru.st/3Xmz1CH #EduReimagined

We invite you to reimagine education with us! Imagine a nation where every student felt safe and supported in school, felt free to be their authentic self, and the quality of a school was not determined by zip code, race, gender or identity. With enough advocacy and political will, together, we can create a system that boasts a high-quality education for all students and promotes student excellence. Let’s reimagine education together: https://lnkd.in/evF3AFWt #EduReimagined

“One year ago, the 2023 Supreme Court decided to do away with #AffirmativeAction, which has had a chilling domino effect on race-conscious policies across the country.” On our blog, Wil Del Pilar, EdTrust’s SVP, says there is a way forward. He explains that “with strategic advocacy, this turn of events could open policy windows at both the state and federal level that could spur the evolution of P-16 policies and practices, removing barriers that have traditionally impacted students of color and students from low-income backgrounds, without having to rely on affirmative action.” #EduReimagined https://edtru.st/4cIroLP

The national movement to rethink reading is promising - but it has largely left out upper elementary, middle, and high school students who didn't get foundational reading skills.
