SWIFT Education Center will not be silent about pervasive and systemic racism impacting Black students, families and communities. Today, we deepen our commitment to dismantling inequitable and harmful educational systems and structures. We will actively and intentionally work with our partner schools to end the ingrained patterns of marginalization and disproportionality that harm students of color and their families. Today more than ever we embrace this imperative.
We will meet you where you are-Anywhere! We offer products and services across the nation that build state education agency, service center, district, school and community capacity to implement or advance equity-based, multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) and improved academic, behavioral, social and emotional outcomes for all students.
