Big win for charter schools! Black and Brown parents were under attack by the status quo, integrationist white people who want to control the bodies, minds and souls of Black and Brown children by discrediting their parents’ choice to put them in a charter school. These charter schools not only affirm their kid’s cultures, but they make them feel safe and provide more opportunities for quality education. That is what we want and NEED for our future leaders. Big win!! https://lnkd.in/gcaWA4ac Sahan Journal #charterschools #mneducation #educationnews

70 years ago, the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education sparked the end of segregated schools and reshaped the landscape of public education in America forever. Today, we should honor the legacy of this pivotal moment in the fight for equality and justice, but we should also examine the state of modern-day educational rights. The fact is, equitable access to education continues to be an uphill battle for people of color in America, as evidenced by the erasure of Black history in schools, the elimination of affirmative action in higher education, and much more. Locally, Boston Public Schools continue to struggle to fully realize the goals of Brown v. Board. Its complex model of school choice falls short to serve all students the high quality and desegregated schools that Brown envisioned. YW Boston's Senior Director of Data & Impact, Sarah Faude, Ph.D., has conducted research that reveals some of the ways that the current system continues to struggle. In particular, how unequal access to registration and choice systems protects those with the greatest advantage. Her latest research finds: "The equal (lack of) information provision by Boston Public Schools (BPS) to all families sustains racially inequitable outcomes; it protects disproportionate access to information and institutions by whiter, wealthier, English-speaking families and neglects families of color in making informed school choices." You can read Dr. Faude's most recent research findings here: https://buff.ly/4bhCk2G #brownvboard #schoolsegregation #ywboston

“We need a hard reset on educational equity and racial justice in schools. We need equity now. Not next week, not next month, not next year, but in a much more urgent fashion, as in now.” Tyrone C. Howard. UCLA education professor Tyrone C. Howard has written an important new book defining equity, making clear what it is, why it's important, and why it is urgently needed in our current moment to meet the needs of our most vulnerable students. Well worth a look. Learn more from my latest at https://lnkd.in/g6gfdriG

In 2019, I published, St. Louis School Desegregation: Patterns of Progress and Peril (Palgrave Macmillan). In the book, I use Missouri history to show why school desegregation still matters. At the time, I wrote about the death of Michael Brown as a worst-case scenario. Brown attended a segregated school and Officer Darren Wilson, who killed Brown, also attended a segregated school. I made the argument that if that if black teens and white police officers are meeting for the first time in the middle of a heated exchange, disaster will ensue. Now, we see more dangers of school segregation. A presidential candidate does not know that slavery was the central cause of the Civil War. This false narrative was carefully crafted by Southern schools who refuse to follow the Brown ruling in 1954. What types of decisions will a politician make regarding race, inequality, and discrimination if she was educated in a segregated school? How many other elected officials, corporate leaders, or Supreme Court justices were also educated in segregated schools? It matters because their education is shaping contemporary policy. Let's ask the hard questions. If we are as great as we claim, then we are strong enough to handle the challenges of learning hard history. Our future depends on it. #desegregation #americanhistory #teachers #teachertraining #privateschools The Miseducation of Nikki Haley https://lnkd.in/gxBi9CWa

Shining the SOE News Spotlight Research has shown that all students gain wide-ranging benefits from racially and socioeconomically integrated schools, which foster success through improved academic achievement, social mobility, civic engagement, and empathy and understanding. So why does school segregation persist? Virginia Commonwealth University School professor Genevieve Siegel-Hawley said it starts with a lack of deliberate response from policymakers. “A big message from the empirical analysis of suburban school segregation is that we’re just not being intentional about any of it, through law or policy,” said Siegel-Hawley, Ph.D., a professor in VCU’s School of Education in the Department of Educational Leadership. “There’s a real vacuum of response, and that is allowing segregation to spread and intensify.” Read more in Sian Wilkerson's VCU News article (thank you Sian!): https://ow.ly/x8v450R1Lw4 #VCU #VCUSOE #VCUSchoolOfEducation #ElevateTeachersAndCounselors #EliminateTheTeacherAndCounselorShortage #EmpowerLeadersOfTheFuture

At the time of the Brown v. Board decision, the hope was that ending segregation would address deep racial inequities in educational opportunity that have long been the legacy of schooling in the United States and, yet, today inequities by race are great and the promises of Brown remain substantially unfulfilled. "Brown at 70: Reflections and The Road Forward," a new series of papers authored by some of the country’s leading scholars on educational equity, takes a look at the progress since 1954, documenting educational shifts over time (including segregation levels and achievement trends), the diversity of the teaching force, access to resources, and the relationship between democracy and education. The papers offer both a historical look at the impacts of the Brown decision, as well as guidance for the road ahead. The series is published by the Spencer Foundation, Learning Policy Institute, and the California Association of African-American Superintendents and Administrators. https://lnkd.in/ectQiVNt
