Some in the public may not realize just how hard school board trustees work. Their service is a tireless devotion to continuous improvement. “As Superintendent, I believe education is the cornerstone of our community, an investment in our children's future and the bedrock of societal progress. In this endeavor, the role of our school board trustees is paramount. Their decisions shape the educational landscape, directly impacting our children, educators, and, by extension, every taxpayer, parent, and resident in our district both now and for future generations. But what empowers these trustees to make informed, effective decisions? The answer lies in their ongoing commitment to professional development.”… Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/g-wzbG_4

Yesterday, we held the final convening of the East Side Alliance Transformation Network, a four-year partnership of nine schools in San Jose, CA. The network focused on improvement in middle grades math for the first two years and whole-school transformation for the final two years. Partners is very proud to have supported collective action to improve on-track outcomes for students on the East Side. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll share highlights from the convening including opening remarks from Glenn VanderZee, superintendent of the East Side Union High School District; our honoring of Oak Grove School District Superintendent Jose L. Manzo, who is retiring at the end of the school year; and recognition of five individuals who’ve been awarded scholarships to support them as they earn their administrative services credential and become even stronger results-oriented change agents (ROCAs). In addition, we’ll share the reflections of the school teams that were the heroes of this four-year journey. Because Partners believes in the power of story-telling as a way for schools to capture their continuous-improvement work and spread successful practices, we invited each team to encapsulate their growth in five-minute Ignite presentations. For example, pictured below is the team from Davis Intermediate – Ginelyn Kudsi, Jose Acosta, and Rachel Pike – who reflected on several improvement efforts over the past four years, including a refinement of professional learning communities that has resulted in greater teacher engagement and agency, increased collaboration among teachers of different grades, and improved student-teacher relationships. The Davis team’s story is just one example; stay tuned for more! #education #equity #EducationEquity #K12Education #EducationalLeadership #EducationForAll #ProfessionalDevelopment #StorytellingForChange

🚨 Let's Set the Record Straight: Charter Schools Are Not Private Schools! 🚨 Recently, I came across an article discussing a well-known charter school organization, and I was taken aback by the misconceptions circulating in the comments section. It's disheartening to see that in 2024, there's still confusion about what charter schools really are. Charter schools are public schools, funded by taxpayers, and open to all students, regardless of background or ability. They operate independently, allowing for innovative approaches to education tailored to the needs of their communities. To dispel myths and promote understanding, it's crucial for school leaders, authorizers, alliances, coalitions, associations, vendors, and everyone in the education community to do their part. Share the facts about charter schools and help educate others about their vital role in our education system. Check out this insightful article from the National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) to bust three common charter school myths: https://lnkd.in/ekTpGTNU Together, let's ensure that accurate information prevails and that charter schools continue to thrive as a valuable component of our public education landscape. 💡📚 #CharterSchools #Education #FactsMatter #charteradvocate #facts

All Things Are Possible

What will it take to get educational leaders to make a major decision on how to help overcome the large shortages in the K-12 schools and SOON? This article is primarily aimed to be read by school board members, superintendents, principals and teachers from the K-12 systems. It is also written to be read by the many community college trustees, presidents, deans and others who are interested in helping the K-12 systems across the U.S. overcome their teacher shortages that have evolved over the past decade and appear to keep growing.  Hopefully these two large educational institutions will see that it is NOW TIME to meet and work out agreements and get their legislators to move on the necessary legislation allowing many of the nearly 1,200 community and technical colleges to start offering baccalaureate degrees in education. Please feel free to weigh in with comments and let others know how this might happen with your school districts. Florida provides a ‘model’ for the rest of the states to consider following.  We cannot afford to let another school year pass without getting this new ‘pipeline’ of community and technical colleges underway in providing teachers where they are needed!                                              Hans Andrews, Distinguished Fellow in Community College Leadership
