So proud of my team and their work! Check out this awesome article detailing how KIPP New Orleans works to fulfill its promise. ❤️ https://lnkd.in/gHnShxV5

For many years now, I’ve noticed that working to improve, invest in, or (oddly) defend public education brings out the best in people. It’s a never-ending, ever-widening labor of love for young people, communities, and the idea of a functioning, or better yet, a vibrant democracy. Sometimes it’s hard to see an immediate, real-world impact, especially if you don’t work in the classroom or regularly visit schools (miss the good old days). But whether it's educators inspiring students and anchoring communities, advocates making sure the system works for everyone, or innovators of all types bringing new ideas forward, supporting the promise of a great education can be our best and most tangible expression of compassion, justice, and hope for the future. And I don’t think there’s ever been a time when we’ve needed more of that collective, teetering on existential, hope. I feel incredibly lucky to still be fighting the good fight, now with the brilliant team of education dreamers, believers, and storytellers at FINN Partners—a few months in already. Together, we’re showing that when we work in service of education from the many vantage points and undertakings our clients bring, we elevate not only educational progress and ideas but also each other. Stay hopeful, friends.

"Educated kids make educated decisions." That’s why we partner with schools and our community of caring neighbors like you to help kids to succeed in school and in life.    Watch as Rene Gellerman, our President & CEO, shares with Johnny Marx the thinking behind our United for Schools initiative – to unite community resources and volunteers to help kids early on, to help them unlock brighter futures for themselves.   And, the results speak for themselves. Dive deeper here: https://lnkd.in/gXpwEqV3

Just reviewed LEAP results of GEO’s Baton Rouge schools. Here are highlights. There are 81 EBR schools. While GEO schools are not EBR-approved schools (we are approved by the state board), we do serve EBR students. There are only 20 EBR schools who performed better than our two K-8 schools when it comes to serving Black students, putting our schools in the top 25% of all EBR schools. And that includes EBR’s many selective-enrollment magnet schools. We are open enrollment and yes, we provide transportation. When it comes to improvement from last year to this year, we are #7 and #8 out of 81 schools in EBR. We beat the state and EBR in both performance and improvement when you look at the results for our Black students. If you look at raw scores (all students), there are only 23 schools that performed better and six who improved more than ours. Pretty proud of our team and leadership in Baton Rouge.

Across #Arizona —and really, across the country—there is a growing conversation about the value of college…Is it worth it? Who should go to college? Who really benefits from a college education?   There is a lot of chatter suggesting that maybe education and training after high school isn’t worth it, or that the public doesn’t see the value of that for everybody. Yesterday we hosted this Morning Scoop with the Arizona Capitol Times to respond with strong evidence that Arizona voters do see value in education and training beyond high school. And, #voters want the state's Policy, Legislative, Education, and Business leaders do more to provide opportunities for #postsecondary education and training. But as you will hear our panelists say, this is not just an #education issue! Increasing opportunities for education and training after high school provides amazing benefits to individuals, their families and communities, and to the economic strength of the state. This issue affects every single one of us. Find out why in the post ⤵ .
