EEC fundamentally believes that every child deserves and is entitled to a high quality public education and high expectations irrespective of race, class, ethnicity, language, or physical ability.
EEC’s initiative, “NO LABELS, NO LIMITS!” is the Coalition’s ongoing campaign to end the global screening process that begins at the end of second grade and invariably sorts or “tracks” students, limiting the academic opportunities of many children.
EEC demands a policy change that moves the County’s public schools away from labels toward a paradigm that provides every child the appropriate challenge and support. Only through equitable educational opportunities will all children be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
The Best Practice and Policy Breakfast Series is a step toward bringing more county groups and individuals together to embrace this understanding and to develop a unified agenda for collective action toward positive change in our schools.
