Research shows strong links between student engagement and attendance. Analyzing 100,000+ survey responses revealed students' perceptions of their learning experiences predict outcomes like grades, test scores, discipline issues...and attendance! So how can we increase engagement to reduce absenteeism? One middle school focused on creating joyful, student-centered learning. The result? Chronic absenteeism dropped from 28% to 12%!

About us
Our Vision All young people learn in ways that enable them to thrive in and transform the world. Our Mission Transcend supports communities to create and spread extraordinary, equitable learning environments. What We Believe The world is changing, as are the needs of learners. It’s more complex, more interconnected, more technological. To thrive, our children need more than academic skills – they need leadership, self‐awareness, creativity, empathy, collaboration, entrepreneurship, critical consciousness, and more. All children deserve this opportunity. The time is now for innovation. The traditional design of K‐12 public schools has served important purposes over time. However, the world’s changing conditions and students’ evolving needs call for wholly new conceptions of what we call “school.” Our Role Transcend, founded by Jeff Wetzler and Aylon Samouha, plays a key partnership role to fuel and grow R&D capacity. Given day‐to‐day demands of school, visionary educators are often held back in the innovation they can pursue. We believe they will make the best progress when afforded the time, capacity, and support to not only imagine and design but also build, prototype, assess, iterate upon, codify, and ultimately replicate breakthrough new models. Through partnering with school operators, Transcend aims to play a vital role in affording visionary educators – and the sector more broadly – the deep R&D capacity needed to accelerate breakthroughs in the creation and spread of new “school” models. Our Approach We enlist school operator partners (district, charter, and other) who have great potential for breakthrough innovation. We assemble world‐class R&D talent (both individuals and organizations), with expertise in a range of areas. We partner with school operators to provide the external R&D capacity that is often much needed, while also helping to grow, unleash, and orchestrate the capacity that already exists within leadership, staff, students, and community.

How can schools most effectively serve multilingual learners in developing their language and literacy skills while simultaneously accessing academic content? Enter the Internationals Network 🌟. They support schools to provide high-quality public education to recently arrived immigrants and refugees. Rather than delivering language instruction in isolation, the Internationals approach is designed around hands-on, experiential, project-based learning where learners develop strong language skills in context. Dive into the International Networks' (free!) resource bank and explore their approach on Transcend's Innovative Models Exchange! https://lnkd.in/evqFum-v

The key findings from Beloved Community's new research brief are so critical to keep in mind as we head back to school! Thank you, Rhonda Broussard!
🏫 Back to school season has arrived! 📚 As students return to classes, we want equitable outcomes for every learner. Here are the first three of six key findings from our brief, "The Power to Make Change: Expanding Equity in American Schools " that families, leaders, funders, and community members can adopt to strategically align on the goal of improving equity in public education: 1️⃣ Fostering a sense of belonging - for students AND staff - is essential for success. 2️⃣ Good policies can safeguard impactful educational practices that benefit youth. 3️⃣ Training and accountability for school board members is vital. We believe the power to make change sits firmly in the hands of our communities. Read #ThePowertoMakeChange here: https://loom.ly/qSo6V68

With the SEEDS of Learning model (SEEDS) - developed by FluentSeeds, a part of Center for the Collaborative Classroom, - educators help students become kindergarten ready through balanced, high-quality, and play-based interactions intentionally designed to promote children's social and emotional development. SEEDS teaches educators both HOW to engage with students and WHAT skills need to be taught in order to gain foundational literacy skills. Every activity - from morning sign in to daily transitions in schedule - is purposefully chosen to infuse joy, play, and reciprocal engagement between adults and children to help students develop their reading skills. Learn more about this evidence-based, play-focused classroom model on the Innovative Models Exchange! https://lnkd.in/g2txyV8r
