This brief produced by the Learning Policy Institute summarizes research and recommendations for strategies states and districts can do to improve equitable opportunities and outcomes. The brief suggests that to promote equity and improve outcomes, states can: • track suspension and expulsion rates, while removing zero-tolerance discipline policies that have proven ineffective in improving youth performance, replacing them with restorative justice practices;2 • incentivize schools to evaluate and improve school climate, which is associated with youth achievement and educational attainment, for all groups of youth, with special attention to those who are most vulnerable; • monitor attendance and chronic absenteeism, and create approaches to intervene early and support attendance where needed to increase learning time; • use an extended-year graduation rate (e.g., 5, 6, or 7 years), as well as a 4-year rate, to encourage high schools to work with and bring back young people who, for a variety of reasons, could not graduate in 4 years; and • measure youths’ access to and completion of college- and career-ready courses of study in an effort to open up evidence-based pathways to future success that help youth reach their potential and encourage schools to offer these opportunities to all youth.

We take a closer look at four well-worn stories: that of Christopher Columbus, Pocahontas, the Pilgrims and Puritans and the Founding Fathers and ask what is actually true. They're our foundational origin myths, but why? And since when? Author Heike Paul, author of The Myths That Made America, is our guide.

There are three American myths that define "Americanness." The frontier, the melting pot and the "self-made man." They're concepts that define how we are to think about transformation, progress and possibility in America. They also rarely hold up. Heike Paul, author of The Myths That Made America, is our guide to the stories we tell about how it is in this country (even when it isn't.)

A major part of being an anti-racist educator is making sure that all of your students feel represented. Some White educators may feel overwhelmed, and maybe even nervous, when trying to create a space where students feel that they’re being seen and heard, because you want to make sure you ‘get it right’.
But discomfort is good, and it’s part of the growth that needs to happen on your journey to becoming an anti-racist educator. BIPOC students don’t have time for White educators to get comfortable, and it’s on White educators to take those first steps.
Discover what Wisconsin educators, Gail Bertram and Marguerite Penick-Parks have to share about the things you can do immediately to begin creating anti-racist learning environments, from the books you read to your students, to the physical spaces in which learning takes place in a short video and companion essay in the post on the aka Teacher blog.
Hosted by PBS Wisconsin Education, and created with and for Wisconsin educators, the aka Teacher blog offers a space for exploring the many hats educators today wear, and the topics that aren’t covered in teacher preparation programs. Blog posts include videos featuring educators around the state, and resources you can share with learners and use to continue your own learning.
