Effective January 14, 2025 to May 2026. Goals 1. Student Success (Increase Student Achievement via Student Centered Instruction) BACKGROUND The Compton Unified School District (CUSD) proposes implementing a comprehensive Grading for Equity initiative at Compton, Dominguez, Cesar Chavez, and Centennial High Schools. This initiative, in partnership with the Crescendo Education Group, aims to transform grading practices to enhance accuracy, reduce bias, and motivate students. The effort includes tailored professional development sessions for staff and leadership and a study tour to learn from successful implementations in other districts. Grading equity is important given the impact on various student metrics, i.e. high school graduation, college acceptance, and financial aid. Ultimately, the aim is to reduce the amount of D/F grades while also increasing student learning. ANALYSIS Research underscores the adverse effects of traditional grading practices on teaching and learning, particularly for underserved student populations. This initiative includes: Professional Development for Staff : 2-day workshops tailored to Math, English, Science, History, Physical Education, VAPA, CTE, and World Languages faculty. Leadership Training : A 2-day institute focused on supporting teachers and leading equitable grading systems. Equitable Grading Study Tour : An opportunity for district representatives to observe and learn from San Leandro Unified School District’s successful implementation of equitable grading practices. This initiative is an essential step toward ensuring fairness and consistency in evaluating student performance. By addressing grading inequities, the program supports the district’s broader educational goals and strengthens its commitment to student success which should see long-term benefits in enhanced teacher practices, improved student outcomes, and a more equitable grading system. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IMPACT The proposed work is projected to have a profound effect on key student achievement metrics: Graduation Rates : More equitable grading will reduce barriers for students meeting graduation requirements. A-G Completion : Improved grading practices can ensure an accurate reflection of student capabilities, increasing college readiness rates. College/Career Indicator (CCI) : A focus on equity will positively influence indicators tied to post-secondary readiness. Remediation Reduction : By addressing grading inconsistencies, the need for credit recovery programs, such as after-school interventions and summer school, should decrease. This initiative aligns with the district’s commitment to equity and excellence in education, laying a foundation for systemic change and sustained improvement.
