We are celebrating 25 years of developing young men to become catalysts for change for the betterment of our society! Please check out this short video about WHO we are and WHAT we do! Loyola Academy of St. Louis #amdg #catalystsforchange

Please follow EDUCATIONAL FIRST STEPS to watch the magical impact unfold….

Hands down the most effective conference for educators of personal finance. Not only has the national team of Laura L. Levine Dan Hebert Joel Chrisler and many more, mastered hosting a comprehensive conference with a teacher-centered focus (it's in their mission!), they are doing incredible work ALL year long to promote why this content is critical to our nation's youth. I have leaned on all three of these individuals at one time or another since discovering their work, and often stated that #JumpStartNEC changed my classroom, not only for me, but for my students. (Mystic Dan) #DanTheMan, Laura, Joel, the entire JumpStart Team...I appreciate you for wanting my classroom to be better in providing high-quality, highly-engaging personal finance resources for ALL of my students. I wish State Departments of Education understood how this work has been comprehensive for many years, not just convenient timing in recent headlines. You understand the data and the importance of doing this correctly. Apply today!!

*Long post alert My heart is often full as I do my daily work, but today was extra special. We were able to celebrate our school leaders as all schools had some area of growth in the newly released ODE report card data. We did the same last year, but the energy in the room was contagious and the excitement was breath-taking. You see, this year 68% of our elementary schools and 33% of our high schools had a 3 star or higher overall. The last time schools were given an overall rating it was an A-F system in 18-19, 46% of our schools were C or higher. Now we are on a 5 star system with 54% of our schools earning a 3 or higher this year, an 8% increase even after the pandemic. 63% of our elementary and 33% of our high schools earned 3 or more stars overall. We increased to 3 stars in gap closing, which means our students are getting closer to the performance of their suburban peers. (I don't like the measure but I did not create it so we will learn through it). 81% of our elementary schools earned 3 stars or higher and 39% of high schools. Yes, we are the highest of the other 8 urban school districts in Achievement and Early Literacy ( even though we declined in this area). Why do I share this? Because it is important that we recognize each win. When our numbers increase that means student outcomes are improving and that's what this is all about. A person that has never lead school change, overall improvement, has a lot of suggestions and input on what needs to and should happen. A person who has gotten to change but cannot articulate how it happened, generally cannot repeat it as the change was likely an accident. If a person has lead sustainable change, can articulate how it occurred and shepherd others through the process of improvement, growth is eminent. This is where we are right now. Growth is eminent. Our team is committed and is clear on next steps. More importantly, this kind of improvement causes them to follow the lead and #trusttheprocess. We had specific areas of intentional focus- core instruction with high quality standards aligned materials, robust teacher learning oportunitied and specific focus on data to address remediation and enrichment needs. Our leaders, teachers, staff and students bought in and the proof is in the improvement. We have a ways to go, but we are on the right track. This is where we need you. The next level only happens with you. We invite you to continue to #BePresent or take the pledge to #BePresent. Our success is the success of our leaders, teachers, staff, students, parents, partners and greater community. The report card is not the only measure of sucess, but it is one pretty important measure. Join with us as we make CPS one of the best in OH and the nation. #ProudSuperintendent #TrusttheProcess #CelebratetheClimb #WeAreCPS **Check our website or ODE to review the data more specifically.

Congratulations to all graduates of all Yonkers High Schools! So many students feel intense pressure with life when change happens and what feels like an insurmountable decision. Not every student knows what they want past high school. However, in my opinion many more would benefit from a college degree. Over the past several years the percentage of high school graduates pursuing college has dropped dramatically. Mayor Spano and all educators in Yonkers Schools have done a wonderful job improving the overall high school graduation rate. They’re also focused on success beyond graduation. As a college president, I firmly believe in the value of a #collegeeducation that is #careerspecific such as that which we offer at the The College of Westchester. We rank 6th for social mobility for regional colleges north per US News. That’s an education with results. Our focused curriculum and accelerated format allows a student to obtain a bachelor’s degree in three years. Shorter time in college and an emphasis on a chosen career path allows for faster job entry with results. As a graduate, and President, I highly encourage all students to consider pursuing college. Parents, it is not too late for your graduating senior to apply, get accepted and enroll! We also offer associate degrees, certificates and accelerated study for adults on campus or online. https://lnkd.in/eZ2pMCjB I’d love to see you at CW!

According to Emory University, the recidivism rate for those who attain a bachelor’s degree, is only 5.6% (compared to the average 55% for those who finish some high school). According to the Vera Institute of Justice, incarcerated people who participate in college programs in prison are 48% less likely to recidivate than those who do not. Education and positive programming makes sense and ripples out to families, communities and ultimately our society. #InvestInChange #TraumaToTransformation #EducationBehindBars #RippleEffect #WhatHappensInPrisonMatters
