From Policies to Practice: Paving the Path to College Readiness for Students of Color in the Los Angeles Unified School District
Education Trust-West
Over the last two decades, the Los Angeles Unified School District has adopted a series of policies to improve college readiness for its hundreds of thousands of students. Among those policies was the adoption of the A-G curriculum requirements for all graduating high school seniors. These policies were intended to better prepare students for college, particularly to access the University of California and California State University schools. "From Policies to Practice: Paving the Path to College Readiness for Students of Color in Los Angeles Unified School District" explores the evolution of Los Angeles Unified's use of board resolutions focused on college and career readiness. In addition, it showcases concrete strategies and promising practices that individual schools in Los Angeles Unified are using in the wake of those policy shifts to support students of color in completing A-G courses and realizing their postsecondary goals.
