The NAACP works to ensure that all disadvantaged students and students of color are on the path to college or a successful career by ensuring access to great teaching, equitable resources, and a challenging curriculum. We are dedicated to eliminating the severe racial inequities that continue to plague our education system. Our ultimate goal is that every student of color receives a quality public education that prepares him or her to be a contributing member of a democracy.


To achieve these goals, the Education Committee of the national board, in concert with education chairs and leaders from across the Association, have settled upon a four-prong strategy to improve educational achievement for disadvantaged students:

  • Increasing Resource Equity: Target funds to neediest kids
  • Ensuring College & Career Readiness: A path to success after graduation for all students
  • Improving Teaching: Growing our own great teachers now in underserved communities
  • Improving Discipline: Eliminate zero tolerance; keep kids in school* All applied to turnaround schools

 

Multilingual Curriculum Integrated into Public Schools

In 2016 NAACP National Convention delegates passed, and the National NAACP Board affirmed, a resolution to promote the integration of multilingual curriculum into public schools.  


 

Standard Grading Policies

In 2016 NAACP National Convention delegates passed, and the National NAACP Board affirmed, a resolution to urge NAACP units to encourage their respective States to establish an Office of Consumer Affairs in Testing and Student Evaluation.  In addition, the resolution reaffirms the 2014 Resolution, “Accountability and Assessment:  Measuring Student Learning.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Every American should enjoy equal rights without discrimination based on race. It's critical that we understand the laws, court system, and the judges that determine those rights. Learn about the bedrock laws and structures that shape our everyday lives.


THE 411 ON THE FIVE-O

While we must support effective law enforcement, we must also exercise our constitutional rights to ensure law enforcement works as it should – to protect all Americans regardless of race or ethnicity. This guide offers helpful suggestions on how to interact with law enforcement to reduce the probability of conflict.


  • If you are approached by the police...
    1. Do ask for a lawyer immediately upon being arrested or being placed into custody.
    2. Do stay calm and keep your emotions from getting the best of you. Be courteous even if the police officer is not. You will only give the officers more ammunition against you if you begin yelling, arguing or refusing reasonable directives.
    3. Do carry identification at all times and be prepared to produce it.
    4. Do keep your hands where the police officer can see them.
    5. Do take photographs, if you are injured, and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
    6. Do remember the officer's name and badge number as well as any witness information. Write down everything you remember about the encounter as soon as possible.
    7. Don't run.
    8. Don't touch the police officer.
    9. Don't make any statements about the incident without first having spoken to an attorney. Reiterate your right to remain silent, if necessary.

Mrs. Cheryl Clarks

We Need Answers

Why is Mrs. Cheryl  Clark,  Allen High School's principal, placed on leave after teachers allege a toxic workplace is the question?   


Was Mrs. Clark hired under Dr. John Stanford?

Did Mrs. Clark know Dr. John Stanford was under fire when she signed on?

Was Dr. John Stanford being harassed too?

Is it true that Dr. Stanford was asked to leave in September? 

Did the district start to take Mrs. Clark down in September?

Was Mrs. Clark holding her teachers accountable for educating our children?

What was the result of the investigation the district paid to investigate Mrs. Clark?  

Is it true that the Allentown School finagle senior students' grades? 

Does the Guidance Counselor call Allen High School a Diploma Distribution Center without education?

Is the situation with Allen High School getting worse with NO SUPPORT from the Board?

Are the negative stories written about Mrs. Clark one-sided?

Are the teachers giving Mrs. Clark bad reviews the cover up their lousy work ethics? 

If the teachers do an excellent job teaching and caring about our students, why are the student's scores so low?

If Mrs. Clark is such a terrible principal,  why not fire her?


Can someone answer these questions? Because WIN would like to know.
