Question.5315 - Module 1Using Data to Surface Disproportionality Assignment InstructionsCurriculum leadership starts with knowing your context: who your students are, what data are (or are not) collected, and how data inform instructional decisions. This assignment helps you connect early data noticing to leadership action Ground Your Work Read: Fergus, E. - Introduction + Chapter 1 These chapters provide a framework for identifying patterns of disproportionality and considering how data can support more equitable curriculum leadership.Introduce your school context or district:You must include the following:Name, location, and grade levelsStudent demographicsCommunity context (urban, suburban, rural)You may include the following:History of the schoolVision/mission of the school Major initiativesKey academic, cultural, or climate focusAcademic focus → e.g. literacy initiatives, math achievement, and graduation rates.Cultural focus → e.g. inclusion, belonging, diversity, equity initiatives.Climate focus → e.g. behavior norms, social-emotional learning (SEL), parental involvement, school safety, student/teacher relationships — how the school feels and operates day-to-day.This context will help ground your leadership work across future assignments.Based on your knowledge of the school/district, name a potential school-based disproportionality.Here are some examples of disproportionalities you might be noticing now based on your experience and observations. You will use data to uncover whether disproportionality actually exists.These examples are intended to spark your thinking, but are not an exhaustive list.A high number of multilingual learners or Black and Latinx students in remedial coursesA low number of multilingual learners or Black and Latinx students in advanced coursework (AP, Honors).A low number of students with disabilities in gifted and talented programs.A high number of low SES students are in intervention programs with limited exit pathways.A low number of students with disabilities are failing state assessments in core subjects.A low number of girls in enrolled in advanced STEM courses.Use the Disproportionality Analysis WorksheetLinks to an external site. to:Gather data (% of group in total population and % in the program).Calculate the Disproportionality Index:Confirm whether disproportionality exists.If disproportionality exists, keep the issue. If not, identify a new one and repeat.After completing your table:Name the area you focused on and briefly explain why you chose it.State what your disproportionality calculation showed.In one sentence, name the specific disproportionality issue you will focus on for the rest of the course.Example:I will focus on the underrepresentation of White students who are given out-of-school suspensions.
