Many schools are oversubscribed and the most competitive area for a family to win a place at their first preference school is in London, where in Lambeth, only 61.6 per cent received an offer. In the London boroughs of Redbridge and Wandsworth, the offer rate was 63.3 per cent and 64 per cent respectively. What can you do if your first choice is rejected? Accept the place you are offered Just as a back up. The local authority is not obliged to offer you another school place, so you risk having no place in September if you turn it down. The situation can change between now and September. Try not to be too negative with your child You don’t want your child to believe that they are going to have a dreadful time at their new school. Dig a bit deeper into the school where they have been offered a place. It might not be as terrible as it seems. Appeal the decision Local authority websites will set out how to appeal and the relevant timeline. How can you win an appeal? The Good Schools Guide advises parents to concentrate on education and wellbeing arguments. Remember that you have to show an exceptional case. Be completely truthful - you will be questioned at the hearing Be concise and focused, and provide evidence Evidence your claims with letters, emails, education, healthcare or welfare plans and ed psych's reports. When appearing before an appeals panel, use bullet points and make eye contact. Can I win a grammar school appeal? Families who stand a chance of appealing include: those offered an academically poor school. Kindly request a letter from your school head as evidence of your child's high academic ability. Equally, if your child faces “a really difficult journey” to get to school, (e.g.) takes more than 75 minutes or involves lots of changes on public transport. When should you not bother? If you are appealing because your child really wants to go to school with their friends, that’s going to look a bit flimsy for an appeals panel. Equally, due to post code and faith. You have to establish that this is the only school that can meet your child’s needs. #SchoolAdmissions #SchoolPlacement #ParentingTips #EducationIsKey #StayPositive#SchoolAdmissions #SchoolPlacement #ParentingTips #EducationIsKey #StayPositive

This article from the 74 and Cami Anderson, former Superintendent of Newark Public Schools, is an amazing read. It caused me to reflect deeply on my experience as a charter school principal. There are many things that I wish I had done better in that role and yet also many things that I am proud of from my time in that role. Ultimately, our schools are central in driving our nation forward. Successful schools lead to successful students and successful economies.

The University of California is calling on Congress to quickly pass federal legislation that would help the nation’s colleges and universities address student needs for basic essentials. Introduced last month, the Basic Assistance for Students in College (BASIC) Act would establish a $1B competitive grant program to help institutions of higher education identify and meet the basic needs of their students. The BASIC Act was originally born out of congressional advocacy started by UC in 2018. UC, UCSA and UC’s Global Food Initiative leadership worked closely to help refine the legislation, and the first iteration of the BASIC Act was introduced in Congress in 2019—and it has been reintroduced each Congress since. #BASICAct #HigherEducation #StudentSuccess #BasicNeeds #UCAdvocacy #UCAdvocate https://lnkd.in/geeryK5h

Today, the Biden Administration is calling on states, cities and towns, and schools to cultivate a “culture of attendance” and send a clear message that students need to be in school. 🏫 At this morning's Every Day Counts Summit at the White House, the Director of the Domestic Policy Council of the United States, Neera Tanden, referenced the new Digital Backpack 🎒 created by the National Partnership for Student Success Hub; a set of “Resources to Address Chronic Absenteeism in Your Community,” that includes a curated set of publicly available resources, including a selection of Examples In Action (spotlights with information on how districts have worked to address chronic absence in their communities). One of these spotlights is the successful relationship between our AmeriCorps Promise Fellows and Minneapolis Public Schools (utilizing the Check & Connect: A Comprehensive Student Engagement Intervention model!) Check it out (pun intended 🤣)! ServeMinnesota Office of Governor Tim Walz & Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan https://lnkd.in/e4W_pha4

Exciting announcement from one of my Region V States. Impressive work by the State of Indiana and Kudos to Governor Eric Holcomb for prioritizing our youngest Hoosiers and the workforce that supports them. “In recognition of the knowledge and abilities needed to be a highly skilled early childhood education (ECE) professional, the ECE field is moving to build a more credentialed workforce. A national dialogue has centered on clearly defining “the complexities…. embedded in the interplay among (1) preparation and education, (2) compensation and status, and (3) diversity and inclusivity.” There is growing agreement on the need for more highly-skilled child care teachers and an increased awareness that teachers with higher credentials must be compen- sated for their efforts. ECE apprenticeships encourage the attainment of a credential/degree and provide the sup- ports necessary for non-traditional adult learners to be successful.” For more information about the child care workforce or early childhood apprenticeships, check out this brief from the National Center on Early Childhood Development, Teaching, and Learning. https://lnkd.in/gthNn-D7
Governor Eric J. Holcomb delivered the State of the State address last week with education as a key focus. One of his goals for the year is to add “early childhood education credential training to the state’s Workforce Ready Grant and Employer Training Grant programs.” Learn more about these programs and the Hoosiers they support here: https://loom.ly/rmMpxGQ https://loom.ly/ICcbK7w #earlychildhoodeducators #education #stateofindiana #educators #workforcetraining
