SEAL SIGNATURE PRACTICES
Having routines and rituals in the classroom and afterschool programs is essential for every young person. When intentionally selected, effectively facilitated, and thoughtfully debriefed, these Signature Practices work together to build a solid foundation of safety, consistency, and joy in the classroom and in afterschool programs. They are: Welcome Rituals, Engaging Practices, Optimistic Closure.  

The Opportunity Gap Cohort-Career and College Success is designed for school leadership teams to engage in data-driven collaboration with peers and focus their learning on a targeted group of underserved students in one of three disparity areas:

• Underrepresentation of Students of Color in GT/AP/Honors
• Overrepresentation of Students of Color in discipline
• Overrepresentation of Students of Color in Special Education

Through OGC-CCS’ multi-year program, school leadership teams will identify the potential root causes of a disparity, then develop and implement action steps to transform school-based structures and practices to positively impact student success.
