Cultural
As SCD Enrichment Program visits school across the Denver area, the number one concept that students, administrators, teachers and students say needs improvement is cultural education. Studies have shown that when a students has strong ties to their cultural identity, they have higher chances of academic success.
SCDEP offers cultural education workshops to schools and community partners. Our workshops include cultural education for African/Black, Latino(x), AANHPI (Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander), and Native/Indigenous cultures. Workshops can range from week-long presentations to year long cultural classes and can be tailored to fit your needs and school/company size.

Advanced Coursework
SCDEP’s priority is to ensure that lasting changes are made within the school to ensure that all students have an equitable opportunity to feel supported and achieve success in advanced coursework. We know that true change occurs when all parties are included in this process for an authentic approach to closing the achievement gap in advanced coursework. Our collective approach includes administrators, school personnel, teachers, students in parents in the process from start to finish.
We also strongly believe in community and which includes shedding the light on gaps in advanced courses and also provides school-based long-term support to students of color by our interns and staff of color. Our approach at equity audits not only provides us with specific indicators to customize our program for each schools’ needs, but it also provides schools with the data and solutions to close the achievement gap. The SCDEP equity audit answers the question of why there are achievement gaps and gives the solution.
