segments of a community, and that is located within or in close proximity to

and assessment. This includes identifying and valuing: students' cultural
assets in instruction and assessment; diverse frames of reference that
correspond to multifaceted cultural perspectives/experiences; and performance
styles in the classroom that do not reflect dominant values of achievement or
success.
(5) "Culturally Specific
Organization" means an organization that serves a particular cultural community
and is primarily staffed and led by members of that community; these
organizations demonstrate intimate knowledge of lived experience of the
community, including but not limited to the impact of structural and individual
racism or discrimination on the community; knowledge of specific disparities or
challenges documented in the community and how that influences the structure of

and culture has historically, currently, and intentionally created for groups
of students where factors such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status,
English proficiency, geography, financial wealth, gender, sexuality, familial
situations, and disabilities determine or constrain what opportunities the
system offers and how these affect their educational aspiration, achievement,
and attainment. These effects and disparities form an educational debt that the
dominant educational system owes to marginalized students as well as a need to
