Project Title: Equity Scholar Program – Middle-High School Mentoring
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Vermont, children from low-income families, students with disabilities, and students of color score worse on standardized tests, are more likely to be suspended or expelled, are less likely to graduate on time, and are less likely to reach college or career readiness, go to college, and graduate from college. (Education Matters Report.2016)<\/p>\n
Our Equity Scholar in Residence Program (ESR) addresses this problem for K-12 students directly and indirectly. A uniquely prepared, independent teacher\/scholar works on-site with educators providing up-to-date and real-time support for their efforts to effectively promote educational equity. The teacher\/scholar also works directly with middle-high school students in extra-curricular groups supporting their efforts to contribute to, advocate for, and learn about educational equity. We are seeking support for that specific work. In all cases, the teacher\/scholar\u2019s approach is specific, combining genuine relationship, restorative & compassionate practice, learner-centered pedagogy, and responsive scholarship.<\/p>\n
The ESR model was originally developed to increase educators\u2019 willingness, confidence, and knowledge to develop their capacity to effectively serve underserved K-12 students. Our two-year pilot evidenced success in that regard. Now we want to understand the impact of the ESR approach in direct work with students, specifically on their capacity to succeed as evidenced by their self-reported confidence, willingness, and knowledge to advocate, communicate, problem-solve, strengthen relationships, and understand themselves more fully in the context of challenging societal circumstances. To this end, the teacher\/scholar will bring the ESR approach with intention to ongoing, mentoring relationships with one or two student groups who organize for this purpose. The ILI will conduct pre- and post-interviews to determine the impact of these students\u2019 interactions with the ESR. Based on the results, we will promote and expand this approach with k-12 students.\n<\/p>\n
