BLUEPRINT

BLUEPRINT is a 3-part documentary that looks at the progression and journey of a non-profit organization entitled Excellent Options (XO) led by African American Parents to close the Opportunity Gap and require Equitable Family Engagement in their predominantly white school community through the partnership of black parents, community partners and the public school systems’ leadership. Blueprint can be used as a teaching tool for schools and communities of color to promote equitable family engagement practices. Practicing equitable family engagement requires an intentional, long-term effort to change ingrained perceptions and beliefs that school communities have of children of color.
