Meet your 22-23 CoP Facilitators
Kim Raccio (Principal at BPHS) and Wendell Cheung (Deputy Principal & Director of Instruction at BPHS) are school leaders at Prospect Schools, a non-selective IB-for-all charter school located in Brooklyn, NY. As a team, the two have led their school community through equity-centered practices — focused on expanding access and pathways for all students to be successful in International Baccalaureate classes.
Both are actively committed to creating a rigorous yet supportive college-preparatory program for our diverse student body through tight-loop coaching to grow their educators. In leading their school, Kim and Wendell have led their educators to become champions in DEIJ and anti-racist practices, with a core focus on identifying systems and processes to simultaneously support needs school-wide and with individual students.
CoP Overview
The use of data in education is often utilized in silos and decontextualized within our school community. In our Community of Practice, we aim to bring participants together to assess our personal relation to data and how we leverage data within our communities to achieve equity. In our CoP, we will discuss ways to bring key stakeholders together in ‘collaborative teams’ to hold racial equity-centered results-based accountability’ conversations to drive equitable data practices that lead to action within each school community. Participants will have opportunities to learn structured protocols and identify ways to implement ‘team’ structures at their own school. Through collaboration, we aim to find ways that school leaders can improve equity of student outcomes within their school communities. See more about our work at here.
