Abstract | The Office of Desegregation of the Little Rock, Arkansas, Public School District was given the responsibility for developing an instrument to evaluate the implementation of educational equity in the district pursuant to federal court desegregation mandates. Office of Desegregation personnel invited in Center for Academic Excellence staff of the University of Central Arkansas to collaborate in constructing the instrument. After outlining the goals of the endeavor, the team agreed to the formation of a committee to be balanced by sex, race, and representation from teachers, students, parents, and administrators. An instrument, the "Building Level Assessment for Multicultural and Nonsexist Education," was obtained from the Midwest Race and Sex Desegregation Assistance Center of the College of Education of Kansas State University. The general committee and the ten subcommittees comprising it met to consider the document and additions, deletions, and other modifications of it. After a series of meetings the form was approved and submitted to the district staff for their use. The spirit of collaboration, openness, autonomy, and balance contributed to a very positive effort by the many committee members. (Author/SLD) |
