SMART GROWTH AMERICA Thursday, June 20, 1:00 p.m. ET Complete Streets Webinar: Lessons Learned from On-the-Ground Safe Streets Projects from Alaska to Connecticut In 2023, Smart Growth America (SGA) hosted Complete Streets Leadership Academies in Alaska, California, Connecticut, and Tennessee. These four states joined local jurisdictions to help push their Complete Streets work further. The leadership academies are designed to increase capacity, improve relationships, and lead to immediate on-the-ground change through quick-build demonstration projects on dangerous state-owned arterials. Hear from program participants and SGA staff as they share what worked, what didn’t, and how those interested in these projects can leverage the experiences from this program to advance street safety in their own communities.

Check out my latest publication, an article in the Catalyzing Character magazine, called "The Character of Teachers' Work". https://lnkd.in/eNMPXK32 Designing this magazine, and learning about the field of character and virtue education from the best in the field together with my boss and mentor, Samantha Deane has been part of my work as a Research Assistant on the Formative Leadership Education Project for the past few years. In this piece, I consider how and why 'implementation' of a character-education curriculum needs to deeply engage the voices and experiences of teachers.

The Wallace Foundation has found effective principals perform five key practices well: 1. Shaping a vision of academic success for all students 2. Creating a climate hospitable to education 3. Cultivating leadership in others 4. Improving instruction 5. Managing people, data, and processes to foster school improvement. Each of these practices feed into a key leadership role at the school system level. This is why the principalship is SO important and it’s essential districts provide adequate support for principals to be effective in their work.

It is so important for students to see themselves represented in influential leadership positions at school, showing them what's possible for their own lives and careers. However, while the number of school-aged Black and Latino children has increased significantly, Black and Latino men make up only 13% of school principals in the U.S. To help ensure students see themselves reflected in the educators and leaders around them, NFBLME: The National Fellowship for Black and Latino Male Educators is working to close this gap. Through its unique programming, the organization helps Black and Latino men become principals and leaders throughout the education sector. https://lnkd.in/eeH-Jmwg
