Work Renewed’s Post

1. Point blank, they need to pay teachers fairly. I have seen many district level positions at APS that pay far above what teachers make. These aren't high level positions, but mainly tech and certification review positions, but teachers on the front lines get paid less. Why can't all the positions be paid fairly? 2. This seems impossible here in GA but we need to unionize. This state is very anti-union, but we know why. 3.GA PSC has ridiculous rules about what degree and what school counts toward certification. There are a very small list of schools that they will accept higher degrees from. I could be getting paid $10K more but because my degree isn't on their tiny list of schools, I cannot. 4. APS is so focused on testing without really investing and focusing on programs and strategies that work. The students barely ear breakfast, buses arrive late, 15 minutes for recess, yet you expect them to test several times a year, for hours on end? 5. Systemic change must happen. Gardening class, meditation, woodworking, community organization class, food chemistry, barbering & braiding/beauty classes. The curriculum is boring and outdated and one dimensional. I know there are a few schools like this, but not nearly enough.

What step can be taken to improve college access for Black & Brown high school students? @metronyu’s latest VUE article, A Successful College Access Experiment Reaches Citywide Scale, examines how dual enrollment programs best support academic achievement for students from historically marginalized communities? Volume 52, Issue 1 of Voices in Urban Education (VUE), titled Chasing Equity: Fighting for Justice in New York City Schools, highlights a compendium of writings from the late education advocate Norm Fruchter. Throughout his career, Norm has written extensively about a host of pertinent education topics, including access to higher education, non-traditional schooling, connecting to legacies of racial justice movements, community involvement in schools, school segregation, and school funding.    Read this VUE article, A Successful College Access Experiment Reaches Citywide Scale, or other articles in this special issue of NYU Metro Center’s Voices In Urban Education, here: bit.ly/3TyqIAv #NYUMetroCenter #NYUSteinhardt #VoicesInUrbanEdcuation #VUE #NormFruchter #Equity #PublicSchool #NewYorkCity #NYC #SchoolAccess #SchoolTransformation #CollegeAccess #StudentAchievement #AcademicPerformance #HighschoolStudents #MarginalizedCommmunities

Ever think education is a one-size-fits-all box? Think again. We're championing diversity in education, reaching out to teachers from all walks of life. But that's just the start. → Our focus is on empowering underprivileged areas. Places like Detroit and Memphis, where each classroom is a melting pot of potential, brimming with diverse young minds. It's not just about location. It's about variety. Our program thrives across the spectrum: ● Public and private schools ● From elementary to junior college levels ● Homeschool clubs and science centers ⚬ Diversity isn't just a buzzword for us. It's the reality of the educational landscape we nurture—across ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and educational settings. By looking through this multifaceted lens, we create opportunities tailored to each unique learning environment. Our aim? To enrich the educational experience for every student, irrespective of where they come from. Education is a tapestry of experiences and backgrounds. Let's weave that tapestry together. #OrionsQuest #DiversityInEducation #Empowerment #Teaching #InclusiveLearning #EducationForAll

In today's edition of "But what does NCEE do?" I bring you this example - the partnership among the Pennsylvania Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL), the Allegheny Intermediate Unit (AIU), the Southwestern PA regional early childhood organization Trying Together, and the National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE). Yes. We support the collective efforts across a state to tackle a clearly defined area of improvement. The piece below outlines this partnership but I can share that this quote just grabbed me: 💡 "The journey begins with a blueprint envisioning ECE as an integral part of a lifelong learning system, extending from early childhood through young adulthood. Inspired by high-performing education systems globally, Pennsylvania seeks to create a seamless transition from ECE to K12 educational systems." 👏 Imagine that. Imagine thinking about ECE as a part of a bigger whole. OK, I know what you're thinking..."We already think of it that way, Janice." Hmmm.. OK. How about this - Imagine that your ACTIONS support that way of thinking. I can think of a few ways/examples of what this might look like but I would much rather hear YOURs. Share below and take a quick read of what's happening in PA to fuel your thinking. Trevor Greene, EdD Jhone Ebert Felicia Gonzales Marilyn Dondero Loop Pam Teel Randy D.

❗ ATTENTION SCHOOL LEADERS ❗ We wanted to share a little about our innovative programming at Pitt-Greensburg. Our mission of Community Outreach is to expand economic opportunity for all students. The OCO aims to help students become successful citizens by providing a central hub for acquiring 21st-century skills and building equitable pathways for all students to reach their full potential. The Office of Community Outreach works with community partners to offer relevant educational opportunities, especially for underserved students. We are rooted in creating equitable pathways to connect the classroom and workforce. One of our first initiatives was creating an online (asynchronous) dual enrollment program. This program was created to help support school districts address two problems: teacher shortage and language written into a recent bill passed by PA legislation in calculating ADM for College in the High School - Dual Enrollment. Furthermore, to address the declining enrollment in higher education institutions.
