A vigilant commitment to education equity
In this op-ed article, Tom Del Prete describes our united vision and core questions for prospective candidates. Tom is a member of the Worcester Education Equity Roundtable (WEER) and sits on the Roundtable Steering Committee.
The Worcester Education Equity Roundtable is a coalition of partners—colleges, universities, cultural organizations, nonprofits, businesses, youth, and families—working to align key programs, outreach, and advocacy efforts with a commitment to equity for historically marginalized people in the PreK-12 public education system in the City of Worcester.
“We span the early childhood through college spectrum. We share a deep commitment to equity in education — in opportunity, in quality, in outcomes. We share also a recognition that the next Worcester superintendent will play a central role in determining how well Worcester realizes its potential as an educational community in which all children and youth thrive, aspire, and attain.”
Core questions to consider:
How would you help make education a truly community endeavor?
How would you help us become the transformational educational community that we can and need to be?
How would you work with us to create this environment?
What role can youth play?
How would you work with us to bring youth, curriculum, our diverse cultures, and community more closely together?
How can we all share in the accountability process?
How would community, data, and accountability come together under your leadership?
