This is true at nearly every stage of public accountability along the student pathway from early childhood education and K-12 schools to community colleges and universities. There are persistent gaps by race for K-12 students meeting state standards, those graduating from high school, students enrolling in a college or university, and students earning a postsecondary degree in a timely manner. These disparities are chronic and cumulative, and they have not narrowed appreciably over the past decade. In these ways California’s education systems, for all their goals, are in tune with its criminal justice and healthcare systems; Black, Indiginous, and People of Color face systemic and structural barriers, and this information is not new.  \nSince the efforts to be made in education equity follow the entire student pathway, this guide seeks to advance a public dialogue about and action toward racial justice across the state’s public schools, colleges, and universities.  \nIn supporting dialogue and action, this guide also seeks to model it. The model used is borrowed from the California Education Policy Fellowship Program (EPFP) , which convenes a group of education leaders annually to meet and network several times during the year. These professionals work in K-12 schools, higher education, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations. They include teachers, faculty, staff, administrators, researchers, and policy specialists. They come together from across their roles in education to:  \n• identify and discuss broad challenges and opportunities facing education in California;  \n• examine student data and research that can inform these deliberations;  \n• expand their knowledge of state, system, and institutional policy across K-12 and higher education; and  \n• diversify their statewide networks to take advantage of opportunities for educational advancement in California.  \nToward Racial Injustice in California's Education Systems An Introduction to Policy Spanning K-12 and Higher Education Education Insights Center at Califor","cbCailv9ua8uClra","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailv9ua8uClra","pdf",1563541,78,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Foreword\n# Preface\n# Education in the Context of Racial Injustice\n# Chronic and Cumulative Patterns of Racial Injustice\n# A Statewide Vision Amid Disconnected Governance\n# State Policy and the Roles all Education Leaders Serve\n# References\n# Acknowledgments\n# About the Author\n# About the Education Policy Fellowship Program","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the guide focus on in California’s education systems?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on persistent, chronic, and cumulative racial and income disparities in student outcomes across the education pipeline from early childhood and K-12 through community colleges and universities.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the guide propose to support dialogue and action for racial justice?\",\"answer\":\"It seeks to advance a public dialogue and action across public schools, colleges, and universities by modeling a convening process used by the California Education Policy Fellowship Program.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the guide’s later chapters emphasize about policy and governance?\",\"answer\":\"They explain how governance structures, recent reforms, and state-level policy levers can be used to enact policy change and pursue cross-system reforms aligned with educational equity.\"}]","Toward Racial Justice in California’s Education Systems - An Introduction to Policy Spanning K-12 and Higher Education | PDF",1792048460,197]
