Are you thinking of applying for the MPP? Would you like to know more about the history of the School? Ours is a community driven to shape a world better led, better served, and better governed, and today, twelve years after we opened our doors, the School is a thriving hub of learning, research and engagement, with over 1,000 alumni spread across the world, committed to improving public policy for communities and societies. As our Dean Ngaire Woods says: "Global security problems, climate change, pandemics, migration, and financial crisis are combining to create challenges for governments which cannot be dealt with individually. Governments must learn from other countries and cooperate in new ways. Our job is to help them." This is the story of our School. Come and be part of it.

Today I read an insightful piece by Kara Aurendel on the transformative use of ESSER funds across the nation.  From bolstering math and literacy skills to enhancing school culture and providing crucial social-emotional support for students, these federal funds have  been a lifeline during the pandemic’s toughest times. Aurendel discusses the critical next steps: ensuring these gains aren’t short-lived post-funding.  With strategic leadership and data-driven decision-making, some districts are already charting paths to preserve and build on these advancements.  I believe it is imperative that all educational leaders plan proactively for the future, keeping the needs of educators, parents, and students at the forefront.  Wha’ts happening in your community?  Are there plans in place to continue these beneficial programs and practices?  LEt’s share and learn from each other’s strategies for sustained success. #ESSERFunds #Studentsupport #Sustainedimpact https://lnkd.in/gGPhkjsY

Politics may seem like a rather abstract subject matter when you are of pre-voting age. What can serve to make the unfamiliar a little less daunting are the voices of our peers, who motivate us to be curious and open-minded. MASt students and student leaders had the opportunity to experience just this when they attended a ‘Participate’ workshop with PRIORY ACADEMY, DUNSTABLE alumni, Josh. Discussing his personal journey in the workshop, from his burgeoning interest in politics (which was first sparked whilst he was studying at Priory) driven by his grandparent who shared his passion, to his current studies and work experience in the world of politics, Josh encouraged the students to use their personal values to make their own choices as they move along their journeys as future voters (and leaders!), themselves. Harnessing the power of alumni/peer insights can be a much undervalued experience. Josh’s workshop motivated the students to explore the unknown by encouraging them to lean into their curiosity. To approach powerful, and sometimes divisive, subject matter with openness and a tolerance for everyone’s views. And, importantly, to participate when they find something that truly resonates with them as individuals. A brilliant experience for all. Thank you, Josh!

The latest and greatest case study in mismanaged #highereducation crisis communications of late is the heartbreaking saga of Philadelphia’s University of the Arts’ sudden closure. Every single member of the institution — except leadership — found out from The Philadelphia Inquirer that their university would be closing with EIGHT DAYS notice. Employees don’t know if they’ll get their last paychecks let alone severance pay. Current students are panicking to transfer so they can complete their studies in time to graduate. Alumni like @dame.next.door are taking to TikTok to expand the reach of this injustice. It’s chaos. I’ll be keeping up on this rollercoaster of a story for a full case study, but it’s a sobering reminder that every institution — and every brand — must eventually navigate a crisis. THAT is the ironclad value of a #crisiscommunications blue sky strategy. If you wait until you’re IN the hurricane to stock your warehouse, it’s already too late.
