Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that illuminates how traditional approaches to class scheduling often perpetuate equity gaps for students from marginalized groups, including access to critical courses and experienced teachers. Drawing on a review of school scheduling practices from across the country, CPRL developed a scheduling framework and implementation guide to help school leaders design equity-first class schedules.
The report reveals that traditional scheduling practices too often limit marginalized students access to learning and opportunity. For example, Black and Latino students are more likely to be assigned a teacher with fewer years of experience and are more likely to be excluded from advanced coursework, like Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate classes.
