In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re shining the spotlight on some of our inspiring grantees! This week's organization is the Social Justice Learning Institute (SJLI), dedicated to improving the education, health, and well being of youth and communities of color by empowering them to enact social change through research, training, and community mobilization. SJLI operates three core programs to better serve the whole community: • Empowering Through Education – Using education as a tool to empower communities of color to unlock their ability to change their lives and the world around them. Programs include Urban Scholars, which aims to support youth of color in increasing academic achievement, graduating from high school, and transitioning to college. • Creating Thriving Communities – Working to transform neighborhood conditions by improving the built environment and expanding access to resources that enable residents to be healthy and thrive. SJLI's Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) nutritional education program provides community members with opportunities to expand their knowledge, understanding, and access to healthy living activities. • Changing Systems – Building capacity for community members to identify and rectify injustice and to advocate for policies that address their needs. SJLI's Youth Justice Fellowship (YJF) delves into systemic issues impacting education, economics, youth development, community empowerment, health, environment, criminal legal system, and policy. Learn more about SJLI and how you can support them today at sjli.org.

Since 2006, Community Partnership School has refined an early childhood/elementary program that empowers children with the tools to make good on their dreams. In the summer of 2023, we embarked on a process to clarify our strategy for ensuring mission fidelity and impact well into the future. Having completed this Strategic Plan, we are excited to share this summary that frames how we will allocate and augment our resources to realize our strategic goals moving forward. Many thanks to our Board of Trustees, Faculty and Staff, Parents and Guardians, and various partners and friends for their significant contributions to this work. This document summarizes our collective vision, and we're excited to realize the vision with you over the next few years and beyond. Below in the comments you will find a link to our website and plan report. #Growth #CPSPhilly #strategicplanning #strategicthinking #communityimpact #planningforthefuture #sustainability

I believe fostering partnerships between community organizations and schools is essential for achieving educational equity. A compelling example of this collaboration comes from Child Trends, highlighting crucial steps for strong family-school partnerships. First - designing a shared vision and goals, Second - developing shared norms, expectations communication processes, and Third - consistent and meaningful engagements. The brief also talks about Kingmakers of Oakland, an impactful community organization across the Bay. At Bridge the Gap we are proud to work with the Sausalito Marin City School District to emulate such impactful collaborations. These approaches are one of the many powerful initiatives to achieve equity in education! #EducationEquity #Inclusive #Education #CommunitySchools

When a family selects a school for their children, it is a deeply personal and thoughtful decision. I’m working with a district that needs to think about school sizes and attendance zoning. When framing questions with constituents around school sizes, everyone defaults to “we prefer small schools.” I get it. I benefit from a small neighborhood school where this little guy gets to walk with big brother every day. But I’ve also seen well run large elementary schools that offer SO MANY more programs and services than my son’s school. The challenge is that if your experience in a large school has not been stellar, you’re going to defer to personal experience. These are complex discussions and decisions, which is why Education Elements front loads our strategy work with robust community engagement. Because when planning happens with people and not at people, it creates less friction and more support. #strategy #communityengagement #planning #schools

"Any system created by humans can be transformed by humans as well. If we are going to effectively create more just and collaborative educational systems, we need to make key decisions together. More important perhaps, we need to change the ways in which we approach our partnerships—both the how and why that drive our work with families. . . We need to equip educators with efficient, high leverage practices that help them build stronger relationships with families, enhance learning outcomes, and transform school communities." In honor of the launch of my book On The Same Team: Bringing Educators and Underrepresented Families Together, this is one of a few quotes I’m sharing this month. My book highlights many of the learnings from hundreds of collaborative gatherings that center family voices and offer a proven structure for creating more equitable schools. #schoolimprovement #familyengagement #schoolleadership #teacherleadership #equityineducation Solution Tree NAFSCE (National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement) National Center for Community Schools National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) TalkingPoints National Center for Families Learning
