Synthesis Retreat

Families, youth, and educators pulled together evidence from across the grant (including SMT findings) to begin shaping the ultimate/overall findings.

The goals of the weekend sessions were to:

• Begin building connection, common understanding, and ownership of our grant data and findings
• Develop overall grant findings, including:
• Identify key themes and meta-findings from across Sense Making Team findings
• Identify claims and evidence from additional Building Equity Bridges evidence
• Name additional questions and types of evidence for future analysis

What People are Saying About This Experience

“I am still concerned about who is not represented in the data. Have enough resources been put to seeking out the voices of all families (American Born Black Families?)”

“The number of people and various ways that folks have given input and been able to participate has been so impressive. I work with a lot of districts trying to do equity work, and this work has been the most in depth and has the most potential for systems change from my point of view.”
