Ekite, divèsite ak enklizyon nan edikasyon
CPLAN pran angajman pou l atenn ekite nan edikasyon. Nou te devlope yon fasil pou swiv atelye pou fanmi yo ak manm kominote lekòl yo pou yo konprann inegalite figi elèv yo ak enpak li genyen. Atelye sa a kraze done politik ak pratik ki pa ekitab ki limite reyisit edikasyon pitit yo ak byennèt emosyonèl sosyal yo. Pandan prezantasyon sa a, w ap wè wòl nou chak jwe nan pwoblèm sa yo ak responsablite nou chak genyen pou patisipasyon nou anvè solisyon an.
Gen entansyon pran yon fason yo jan sa a:
Distenge diferans ki genyen ant Ekite ak Egalite
Lokal vs inegalite sistemik ak baryè
Marginalizasyon ak enpak li sou elèv yo (tou de, kout tèm ak alontèm)
Redesign ak defann edikasyon ekitab
Devlope konesans ak langaj ki reponn ak kiltirèl ki enfòme epi ranfòse defans nou pou tout elèv yo
Solisyon atravè divès nivo defans tankou Konsèy Paran ak angajman sivik
Atelye Divèsite, Ekite ak Enklizyon (DEI) CPLAN pwovoke refleksyon pwòp tèt ou, panse kritik ak inovatè pou rekonsidere règleman ak pratik ki limite siksè edikasyonèl elèv yo ak potansyèl yo pou siksè tou de kout ak long tèm. Pandan prezantasyon sa a, manm kominote lekòl la pral wè ijans pou yo pwodwi yon eksperyans edikasyon ki gen enpak pou tout elèv ki gen patenarya lekòl entansyonèl ak siyifikatif.

Siksè nou
Piloted our Workshop series in Worcester
CPLAN partnered with Worcester Education Collaborative to launch the pilot of our "Powerful Parents Program" (P3), also known as "Padres Poderosos for a condensed version of our workshop series tailored to their specific priorities.
78% Boston voters voted YES
for Elected School Commiittee
In partnership with the Boston Coalition for Education Equity, we achieved a significant milestone by garnering the support of 78% of Boston voters in favor of an elected school committee. Although this outcome holds no legal obligation, it does authentically reflect the sentiment of the Boston electorate.
50+ Schools and Counting with Water Filtration Systems
CPLAN collaborated with Boston Public Schools to continue replacing water bubblers with filtration systems so all students have access to clean drinking water. This work was supported by Mass DEP and the Shlomo Foundation. Currently, water filtration systems have been installed in over 50 schools, with a scheduled plan in place to complete installations in the remaining schools. Additionally, we have donated 400 water bottles to the Madison Park Technical Vocational High School athletics department.
