Designing Education's fifth episode of season three is out! Taylor McCabe-Juhnke, Executive Director of the Rural Schools Collaborative, joins Bob Balfanz to discuss the Collaborative's work to bring student success systems to rural schools across the nation. With one in four of our nation's students attending rural schools, it's crucial that these often-overlooked communities are included in national improvement efforts. Taylor will share how the Collaborative is helping empower these schools by connecting them through local intermediary organizations, fostering dynamic learning communities that not only strengthen student success in rural areas but also generate innovative solutions with the potential to reshape education across the country.

Seeking to identify the barriers that prevent all students from graduating high school on pathways to adult success.
About us
The mission of the Everyone Graduates Center is to develop and disseminate the know-how required to enable all students to graduate from high school prepared for college, career, and civic life. Through a systematic and comprehensive approach, EGC combines analysis of the causes, location, and consequences of the nation’s dropout crisis with the development of tools and models designed to keep all students on the path to high school graduation, and capacity building efforts to enable states, communities, school districts, and schools to provide all their students with the supports they need to succeed. The Everyone Graduate Center seeks to identify the barriers that stand in the way of all students graduating from high school prepared for adult success, to develop strategic solutions to overcome the barriers, and to build local capacity to implement and sustain them.

For the Sake of America’s School Children, Congress Must Keep AmeriCorps Going: "This is a key moment to help schools and children across the country. There is broad bipartisan agreement about the urgency of addressing learning gaps and absenteeism, and there is enormous public support for initiatives like tutoring that reach the most vulnerable kids. Congress needs to ensure that AmeriCorps can deploy the tens of thousands of dedicated individuals willing to serve in schools and communities at this crucial moment. AmeriCorps works in all 50 states — one of the rare programs that benefits both red and blue America. The cost of restoring AmeriCorps program levels and helping hundreds of thousands of kids is modest. But the cost of inaction is high. Unaddressed learning loss and absenteeism will lead to fewer students graduating prepared for adult success, resulting in social and economic costs to communities and the nation. We urge Congress to support AmeriCorps, its members working in schools across the country and the students they serve." Great opinion piece by Bob Balfanz from the Everyone Graduates Center, Johns Hopkins University and Kevin Huffman of Accelerate. We love the shoutout to our AmeriCorps Promise Fellows! https://lnkd.in/ezF8hGJk

High schools, originally designed in the 20th century, are now outdated for 21st-century needs. Students from 13 middle and high schools in six states traveled to Washington, D.C., for the inaugural National Redesign Showcase to present ideas for updating schools. Robert Balfanz, director of the Everyone Graduates Center, Johns Hopkins University and a professor at the Center for the Social Organization of Schools, discussed the ideas presented at the Showcase. “The broader goal is to create supports, policy, and eventually funding for this sort of redesign work. Schools need to be redesigned, and it’s best if that’s done from the ground up,” he said. Learn more in the recent Q&A: https://bit.ly/4aXTAJo

By now, most of us are aware that chronic absenteeism rates doubled post-pandemic. The multiplicity of personal, health, social, economic, and educational disruptions caused by the pandemic made it harder for millions of students to be in school every day, even as the direct health impact of COVID-19 receded. But what does a doubling of the number of students who are missing a month or more of schooling in the school year mean? What do the numbers tell us about the challenges our schools and communities face, and what does the evidence base say about the types of solutions and responses that are needed to meet them? “Meeting the Chronic Absenteeism Challenge - What Do We Know?”: A new report by Dr. Robert Balfanz with support of The GRAD Partnership (https://lnkd.in/eWwuNZGQ), National Partnership for Student Success (https://lnkd.in/eDZ6r5YK), and the Everyone Graduates Center at Johns Hopkins University (https://lnkd.in/eFdnc6iv) aims to provide a synthesis of what we know about the district and school challenges of post-pandemic chronic absenteeism, and what can be done to meet them.
