Equity Facts

EQUIP (Ensuring Quality and Unleashing Improved Performance) series:

The academic underachievement of African-American and Hispanic students is documented by the gap in a number of performance measures, including test scores. Minority children, like all children, should be given the opportunity to excel. The Program Analysis focus in 2001-02, Access to High Quality Instruction, addresses this issue and aligns with the Guiding Principles for Florida's new education governance system:

  • Maximize education access and academic success for all Floridians
  • Safeguard equity and refuse to compromise academic excellence

EQUIP provides summaries of current data and research to enhance the decision making and planning process as Florida's educational institutions conduct comprehensive self-assessments to identify measurable methods and strategies to ensure access to high quality instruction.
