Equity: The Answer to Completion
Overview• Equity gaps in degree attainment • Profiles of opportunity • Equity gaps in technology • Profiles of opportunity• Excelencia’s efforts to seize opportunity
Guiding principles:
-Data only as good as it is used to improve condition, not just measure condition
-Intentionality matters: Awareness, Analysis, Action
-The U.S. cannot reach national degree attainment goals without a tactical plan implemented to increase Latino degree attainment amongst all served
-At the point Latinos are increasing representation in K-12 and higher education, policy conversations are evolving from access to productivity
-Investment in education today at all levels will determine the nation’s returns in near future
-States efforts are key to increasing degree attainment
-Using data to inform policy and practice is critical
