  Crawford Elementary School is a Title I school in the heart of original Aurora. Student demographics: 735 students, 95% free lunch, 90% English Language Learners, 20% refugees. Staff: 50 classroom and support teachers, 10 classified support staff, 15 custodial and office staff. As principal, I was honored to join a team of highly-skilled teachers and support staff as we redesigned our instructional approach and increased student learning outcomes. By diving into data we identified the needs of students and teachers to meet high learning goals. Our school's culture was defined by our commitment to doing whatever it takes to support our students. We centered on Critical Race Theory as we improved student behavior, increasing engagement and decreasing inequitable access to opportunities. As co-founder of the Crawford Community Center, I opened our school's doors to the community as a key partner in our improvement efforts. Through an inclusive process we designed a structure where parents and the community come together in support of their children. I am proud to say that this model continues today offering the school community access to medical and dental clinics, leadership experiences, and hundreds of clubs and opportunities for students and families.
