Our ethos is underpinned by Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi's philosophy (1746-1827), which prioritized practical, child-centred education. At our core, our children are our focus, ensuring they receive a quality education and are nurtured both at school and in our Villages. It is central to our ambition to empower them to grow into adults who can make a positive impact on their local communities and beyond. 🌟💡 https://lnkd.in/eV55HgyC

Congratulations to all graduates of all Yonkers High Schools! So many students feel intense pressure with life when change happens and what feels like an insurmountable decision. Not every student knows what they want past high school. However, in my opinion many more would benefit from a college degree. Over the past several years the percentage of high school graduates pursuing college has dropped dramatically. Mayor Spano and all educators in Yonkers Schools have done a wonderful job improving the overall high school graduation rate. They’re also focused on success beyond graduation. As a college president, I firmly believe in the value of a #collegeeducation that is #careerspecific such as that which we offer at the The College of Westchester. We rank 6th for social mobility for regional colleges north per US News. That’s an education with results. Our focused curriculum and accelerated format allows a student to obtain a bachelor’s degree in three years. Shorter time in college and an emphasis on a chosen career path allows for faster job entry with results. As a graduate, and President, I highly encourage all students to consider pursuing college. Parents, it is not too late for your graduating senior to apply, get accepted and enroll! We also offer associate degrees, certificates and accelerated study for adults on campus or online. https://lnkd.in/eZ2pMCjB I’d love to see you at CW!

Count me among the students Judy Brown helped during her 43 years at Watkinson School . As a new educator, here are some #wordsofwisdom I gleaned from Judy's career: 🥉 Keep your humanity front and center. Often, this advice is applied in the context of interacting with students (e.g: see students as human), but I think that it is easier to be human as a student—especially if you happen to be a student with one or more marginalized identity—if the people in power who you interface with (that means educators in all roles) first own their own fallibility—and lives outside of work! An easy way to set these kind of humanity-affirming (and thus healthy) expectations: Explicitly say when you check your emails/other work communications in your email signature, syllabus, or any other student-facing information page. If you, for example, work from 9 to 5 on Mondays through Fridays then, this way, a student who sends an email at 6 PM at Friday KNOWS that you are not blowing them off if you respond at 9 AM on Monday. Another (more fun) way to display your humanity is to have mementos in your office or virtual space, inviting conversation about hobbies and other non-work dimensions of life. (No person is one-dimensional!) 📧 🍋 🥈 Don't forget about SMART goals. At least for me, this is something I tend to slip with as the school year / semester goes on, but they're called SMART goals for a reason! And they're smart for students and educators alike! Start a meeting with discussion of goals named (and preferably written or in some other way made "tangible") last time. End a meeting with articulation of new goals and/or refinement of previously-articulated goals. Ambition is important, but ambition without direction is a recipe for burnout. And victories of any size are revitalizing—and call for celebration! 📋 🔥 In case you need a reminder of what SMART goals are: Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time-Based 🥇 Always maintain a curiosity stance. Enter as a co-investigator, not the judge. Combine your expertise (e.g: of a program's GPA requirements, of your class' rules around late work, etc.) with the expertise of the student (e.g: career goals, circumstances that led to work not being completed on-time, etc.). You are on the same team! And even if you do not get the result that you want, there is always a learning experience to be gleaned. 🔎 🧠 What lessons have you learned from retiring educators who touched your life? Please share in this space! 💭 #grateful #reflection #educator

With a focus on civics education in mind, we want to hear from you. Tell us why civics education is important today? How does it benefit society?

The attack on public schools is an attack on equity in our education system. Traditional public school districts in Ohio serve more than 1.8 million students and employ more than 245,000 Ohioans. An investment in our public schools is an investment in our nation’s 50 million public school students. #fundpublicschools #nationalpublicschoolsweek
