Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine how the Rockcreek Public Schools' equity training program has influenced the relationship of teachers with Black students, how it has developed teachers' understanding of their relationships with Black students, and how it has helped teachers develop a better understanding of their own background and experiences. A qualitative formative evaluation of the RPS equity training program was conducted, which included interviewing twelve teachers from three middle schools in the district and reviewing RPS Equity documents. RPS is in need of re-evaluating its Equity Team mission and vision because it is unclear that the current trainings match what the district views as the goals for the programs, and participants are not able to accurately describe the mission and vision. The equity training program should be more explicit in how it allows participants to gain a better understanding of Black students' experiences in RPS. There also needs to be a better mechanism for monitoring implementation of the trainings. RPS would also benefit from giving participants clear action steps regarding what to implement after trainings and being more explicit in the purpose for the trainings.
