🎙My Candidate Interview Is Live I would love to hear your thoughts and input! As a passionate advocate for our schools and a candidate for the Pembroke School Committee, I recently had the opportunity to share my vision and priorities for the future of Pembroke's education with The Local Seen Government Services Here are some highlights! Budget Priorities and Constraints: I firmly believe that budget discussions should begin with the insights of our school building principals. Their direct experience with the needs of our students and teachers is invaluable. I am dedicated to finding creative solutions for funding gaps and prioritize the wellness and safety of our students and staff in all budget decisions. Impact of Decreasing Enrollment: Even as we face declining enrollment, it's crucial to recognize the significant increase in per-pupil funding rates. This underscores the continuous need for increased funding, particularly to support the growing mental health needs of our students. Vocational Schooling and Local Revenue: I propose innovative ideas, such as kayak and canoe rentals and food truck internships, to enhance vocational training opportunities. It's important to me that we seek community feedback on these initiatives. Special Education: With my strong background in special education, I understand the importance of individualized education plans based on comprehensive evaluations. I acknowledge the increasing demand for special education services and am committed to meeting these needs. General Philosophy on Education and Community Involvement: I am a proponent of data-informed decision-making and actively seek community input to ensure our educational priorities meet the evolving needs of our students. My dedication to our community, innovative approach to addressing challenges, and commitment to putting students first make me a strong candidate for the Pembroke School Committee. I believe in supporting a future where every child in Pembroke has the opportunity to thrive. I encourage you to make your voice heard in the upcoming elections. Together, we can make a difference for the future of our children and our community. https://lnkd.in/eyz326pe #KatrinaDelaney #PembrokeSchoolCommittee #EducationForAll #CommunityFirst #PembrokePride

Cramlington Village Primary School - we look forward to supporting your thinking and work on poverty-informed practice in due course.

Closing the Gap One of the most pressing issues facing the American education system is the achievement gap between special education students and their peers. One important approach for addressing these challenges is to focus on early intervention and support in the classroom. Additionally, it is important to ensure that special education students are included in mainstream classrooms and have access to the same resources and opportunities as their peers. Another important factor is ensuring that teachers are properly trained and supported in working with special education students. This means providing ongoing professional development opportunities. This can be a daunting task…but it doesn’t have to be! At GSEA, we have an abundance of tools and resources to help you build the bridge over that gap. Imagine a world where every school had exactly what they needed to foster success across their entire student population! That IS POSSIBLE when you partner with Global Special Education Associates! Excited yet?!! 😲😲😲 Don’t wait to schedule your program review!! https://lnkd.in/eu7XBuiG 317-384-8051 https://lnkd.in/gTxwcaiF

"Equity is not a side issue in schools today. It’s at the core of the #education transformation “challenge.” #Students continue to be treated in different ways based on background and a variety of other variables. The exact nature of that #inequity – of who is treated poorly – may vary from place to place, but it is always embedded so deeply it is difficult to see. Until we habitually see the children in the #schools, and their families, and are willing to listen to them with open hearts, the system cannot change. Thus, until there is real #equity, the system will not change. " -- Jill Jensen, superintendent of the Nisga’a School District and Certified Master Practitioner in Compassionate Systems Read on for Jensen's article on "A Bridge to Equity: A Personal Journey in Transforming School Systems That #Colonialism Built" https://lnkd.in/e-4ngzge #compassionatesystems #systemschange #systemsawareness #FirstPeoples #NisgaaNation
