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.

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...
- Do ask for a lawyer immediately upon being arrested or being placed into custody.
- 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.
- Do carry identification at all times and be prepared to produce it.
- Do keep your hands where the police officer can see them.
- Do take photographs, if you are injured, and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
- 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.
- Don't run.
- Don't touch the police officer.
- Don't make any statements about the incident without first having spoken to an attorney. Reiterate your right to remain silent, if necessary.
