International Economic Development Council’s Post

Our city would benefit greatly by more formally engaging our students, both high school and university/college, because they are allowed to envision our future (as they'll be living it). The students and faculties at SDUSD, UCSD, SDSU, USD, UCSM, Palomar, Sweetwater, and City College all have the energy and ability to bring big ideas to the future of San Diego... that they can champion to build in the future. It's a powerful source of innovation that is being left on the table when discussing our long-standing housing, homeless, and climatic crises. How? Invite them to lead the vision plans for our community plan updates, our historical resources reforms, and housing action plan 3.0.

Good point Kristin Lord NGOs also can get caught in unsustainable growth trends when they ignore the underlying trends, and/or are not aligning value, funding, and real market/community needs. For an NGO, being over-leveraged may be less about debt, and more about over reliance on one funder or funding mechanism. As a reference point, I was leading eCornell (Cornell's online education company) when 2U launched. I remember talking at the time that one of two things might happen: (1) 2U would struggle to get leading universities to partner with them and flame out quickly, or (2) if they did get them on board, the Universities would eventually realize they were giving up too large of a share of the revenue for services it could provide themselves; and would take it all back. In the end, I was impressed on what 2U was able to accomplish in their growth, but the collapse is hard to watch.

This article about the ed tech company 2U is a reminder to nonprofits as well as private companies: No matter how laudable your mission, or how needed your services are, organizations must be cost-conscious, clear-eyed, and business-savvy

The purpose of this library is to make learning public and embrace vulnerability as we - PSESD’s System & School Improvement Team and partner networks - move through equity transformation cycles, radically reimagining what is possible for students and educators in the margins. Our Why: We believe students and educators at the margins are our moral compasses for what we say we believe about equity. We commit to listen deeply without boomeranging into past practice. We choose the margins as the starting point for our data conversations - the quiet places where the hopes, dreams, and stories of those most impacted by systemic racism live.
