    AEA Background Overview

    The Access to Equity Gifted Enrichment Program, and the partnerships of the UCLA/LAUSD Collaborative and USC Architecture Lab (A-Lab) are intended to assist with the elimination of barriers associated with academic and opportunity gaps that are present within our society. Each program addresses systemic inequities for African American (AA) students and Standard English Learners (SEL) by providing underserved students with access to high-quality instructional practices and experiences intended to accelerate student learning. Programs further support school leaders, teachers, and parents with professional development designed to enhance knowledge, skills and dispositions needed to increase and accelerate students' individualized academic and social emotional needs.

     

    We are excited to announce that our Developing My College Competitiveness Workshop series is back for 2024-2025.
    School site principals and counselors/coordinators are invited to attend our informational meeting. 

  • Calling on Principals and Certificated Staff. We are so proud to announce our upcoming Access to Equity Leadership Program informational meeting for elementary and secondary schools. 
    This is an opportunity for a certificated staff to work after school (club) with a group of 8-12 students on leadership skills in grades 3rd-11th.  Students will use leadership skills to develop projects to improve their school and/or community.  The students work with a "Leadership Designee"  which guides and supports them along the way.  There are many benefits to this program: students build confidence, great for college applications, complete hours towards service-learning graduation requirement, increase your school's gifted identification, etc. 
     
    Don't miss out on this great opportunity for students! 😁
