We put our kids’ needs at the forefront of everything we do.

The AEA is designed to center and improve the student experience. The AEA aligns with district commitments to students of marginalized identities as outlined by the DPS Strategic Roadmap. AEA educators stand especially committed to developing academic content, experiences, and holistic supports that Black/African-American, Latinx, and Asian-American/Pacific Islander students need to thrive.

We tell the truth, and we keep our promises.

The AEA serves as one opportunity for students to gain self-confidence by learning who they are - in order to know where they are going. AEA educators model integrity through vulnerability, by speaking their truths and through sharing their passions and pains, so that students feel safe, seen, and encouraged to show up as their most authentic selves.

We celebrate our diversity and will provide the necessary resources and supports to eliminate barriers to success and foster a more equitable future for all our kids.

The AEA serves as one program working to eliminate disparity data predictability for students belonging to marginalized identities, and it pushes back against the systems and structures of oppression that threaten a student’s right to thrive. AEA educators are committed to empowering and encouraging students towards pursuing the inclusive, collective action needed to achieve conditions named in our DPS Equity Statement & Strategic Roadmap.

Together as a team, we think, we work, and we create in order to reach our goals.

The AEA recognizes the communal needs of students belonging to marginalized identities. Throughout the school year AEA educators come together in collaborative working groups to discuss best practices, student needs and student data, to then refine the AEA curriculum and experiences. AEA teachers intentionally work as team teaching pairs to develop their co-teaching relationship, while maintaining relationships and partnerships with returning AEA students/families. Our AEA team is passionate about the work of dismantling and disrupting systemic inequities. We are committed to co-creating the processes, procedures, and conditions needed to move everyone towards racial & educational equity, together.

We take responsibility for our individual and collective commitments; we grow from success; we learn from failure.

The AEA program and its people are committed to regular reflection, and we significantly value student/family and educator voice, and seek out partner and community feedback. The AEA central-office team regularly engages in bi-weekly debriefs to collaboratively plan for next steps that consider the adult experience, and center the student experience. The AEA always reckons with impact, pivots when necessary and strategically designs and implements best practices that center those historically marginalized.

We celebrate the joy in our work and foster in our students a joy and passion for learning to last their whole lives.

The AEA is joyful, celebratory, and fun! AEA community-partners and educators are passionate and committed to creating the conditions, workshops and experiences, and time and space for students to express the excellence that already lives inside of them.
