At All Means All, we are dedicated to transforming outcomes for students with disabilities and other intersectional identities that have been historically marginalized. We start by partnering with school leaders to thoroughly analyze and disaggregate historical data and then build inclusive and ambitious goals to address disparities. Leaders develop plans through our multiple learning cycles that draw on adult leadership skills and practical tools to target specific areas of disproportionality such as reading, math, post-secondary success, or social-emotional growth. This creates a proof point, demonstrating what is possible and generating momentum to continue eliminating disparities beyond the program. Join us for our fourth cohort as we work toward more inclusive, supportive learning environments where all students can thrive academically and socially. 🌟 Apply Here: https://lnkd.in/gQhAz_25 🌟 📈 Check Out Our Results: https://lnkd.in/gSZQGq3R 📊
