Did you know that 40% of 11 year-olds in England from communities facing disadvantage leave primary school unable to read to the expected standard? Through Chapter One UK, a number of my colleagues and I are volunteering online for 30 minutes a week to help children facing disadvantage improve their reading skills. The whole experience is fun and rewarding and so easy to fit into my working week. Ask me anything about my experience - I would be happy to help! chapterone.org #volunteersweek #chapteronevolunteer #employeevolunteering #onlinevolunteering #corporatepartnerships #employeewellbeing #socialvalue

THE POWER OF A SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP Part 1: Service and Volunteerism It’s evident that for students to thrive both academically and personally, a holistic approach to education is essential. This means schools and communities must work together, creating symbiotic relationships that benefit everyone involved. One of the most impactful ways this partnership can manifest is through community service and volunteerism. - Why Schools and Communities Need Each Other - When schools operate in isolation, they often miss out on the rich resources and opportunities that their communities can offer. Conversely, communities that don't engage with their local schools lose out on the fresh perspectives and youthful energy that students bring. Here’s one reason a collaborative approach is crucial: Community involvement provides students with real-world experiences that textbooks cannot offer. For instance, how are our children supposed to know that the pizza boxes in the pizza establishment they often visit don’t fold themselves; someone has to fold them? Through the Resilient Futures Initiative, we can ensure that students are not only academically prepared but also equipped with the skills and experiences necessary to make a positive impact on the world. Let's work together to make this vision a reality.

The earlier kids get the support they need to navigate learning and thinking differences, the more likely they are to thrive. I’m excited to spread the word about Understood.org's #BacktoSchool campaign, aimed at empowering parents and educators with the resources they need to act early. But we need your help to get these resources into the hands of families that need them most! Your contribution can help us reach more families: https://lnkd.in/e-6STWG4

Did you know that it's Teacher Appreciation Week in the U.S.? The Association of American Educators estimates that public school teachers spend an average of $673 per year out-of-pocket on classroom supplies, and that teachers in high-poverty schools spend an average of $761 annually. As a former elementary school teacher, I can attest that even a quick "thank you" from parents and students was such a highlight! In addition, if you're looking for a way to directly support teachers in the classroom, consider checking out #donorschoose (https://lnkd.in/eukz4bQa) and find a classroom project to fund.
