Role of the GATE Partnership Advisory • Identify and eliminate academic and non-academic barriers. • Develop a common educational vision. • Coordinate efforts across organizations and agencies. • Share information about successful programs, targeting schools and communities that need us the most.
Theory of Action • IF we put schools identified for supports at the center of our thinking, and intentionally connect our programming to their specific needs, and • IF we support districts and schools’ focus on the health of their systems with the same laser-like focus they direct towards English Language Arts and math proficiency, and • IF we provide professional learning on data inquiry principles and facilitate the use of data analysis resources and tools, • THEN we believe we are more likely to see school improvement across multiple measures.
