Delores and Randall Lindsey approach the Outcomes standard through the lens of their cultural proficiency work to highlight the equity focus embedded in the standard. In their full essay in Reach the Highest Standard in Professional Learning: Outcomes, they write, “Cultural proficiency is an approach to equity and access for all learners. … Our assumption, built on sound practice, is equitable professional learning experiences aligned with professional learning standards and student performance goals support equitable learning outcomes for educators and their students.” They also explore the idea of “inside-out change” for individuals and systems and its importance in achieving equity of access and outcomes (Lindsey, Lindsey, Hord, & von Frank, 2016).
This excerpt dives into their cultural proficiency tools and framework and their connection to the Outcomes standard.
Professional learning that increases educator effectiveness and results for all students aligns its outcomes with educator performance and student curriculum standards.
