What significance or meaning does the activity have to the broader community? And 4. What are the next steps or follow-up activities planned? Alan Contreras Chris Culver Sherry Duerst-Higgins Linda Hamilton Sharon Martin Vanessa Truett Rose Wilde: Scott Linenberger, Superintendents' Council AdvisorRose Wilde, board member report from National School Boards
Association Conference, Philadelphia, PA, March 30-31, 2019 (attended
two full days on OSBA scholarship) Sessions
attended - please contact Rose Wilde if you would like more information
about any session or the handouts included in the session: Master
Class: Disrupting Poverty, Where to Start... What to Stop (Dr. William
Parrett). Emphasis was on qualities of a board that are linked with
increased student achievement. These are extensively reviewed in
publications by the author, and by Dr. Lorentzen and Dr. McCaw (hard
copy of booklet including several articles on this topic available from
Rose Wilde). Rural District Roundtable Lunch
(Dr. Julie Evans, Dr. Chris Marczak). Emphasis was on the ways that
rural students and districts are engaging with technology for career
attached, academic curricula and projects that have directly resulted in
student achievement, and more directly, student apprenticeships and
engagement with career pathways. Shaping the
Future of Public Education: What's next for Changemakers? (Katherine
Prince). This session addressed four scenarios that might happen in the
future that would impact education. Large external organizations
continue to lead reform efforts, but they are disjointed and based on
individual interests. Federal government takes a larger role in
directing school programming and outcomes. Local parents impacted by
school systems rise up, with support, to directly engage with school
reforms or changes. Last, local districts direct their own changes and
investments. City and School Partnerships:
Collaboration that works. (Dr. Branville Bard, Chief of Police, Marc
McGovern, Mayor, Dr. Kenneth Salim, School Superintendent, Ellen
Semonoff, Director of Human Services, City of Cambridge, MA). Leaders
for four departments in the City of Cambridge and Public Schools
discussed how they developed and implemented a positive youth
development focused project intended to reduce or eliminate juvenile
arrests by placing Youth Resource Officers in local elementary schools,
as part of wrap around teams to offer support, mentoring, activities,
and services to prevent children from committing crimes or failing in
school. IT WAS SO AWESOME! Sunday General
Session: Johnny C. Taylor, CEO of the Society for Human Resources
Management (SHRM). This session reviewed the outcomes of the NSBA
Skills gap report on what employers need from public school graduates,
and what areas they see skill gaps. The Problem
with Believing People are the Problem: A Systems Approach to Improved
Student Achievement (Dr. Ivan J. Lorentzen and Dr.William P. McCaw).
This session expanded upon the Master Class on Poverty from Saturday
using the board self assessment tool developed in Washington State as a
potential diagnostic tool to help school districts identify the most
influential board characteristics to improve student success. The
Lighthouse Papers describe these in detail, but the most important was
having clear goals with specific strategies and tangible outcomes to
which the board regularly held itself and superintendent accountable. Grow
Your Own: Using Social Capitol to Recruit, Develop, and Retain a
Diverse and Competent Teaching and Administrative Team (Dr. Ligia
Alberto and Dr. Michael Kuchar). Dr. Alberto described her dissertation
research on the recruitment of administrators of color and identified
the most common pathways that people of color followed to rise into
school administration. The most influential and common finding was that
teachers of color had a mentor, always always their school
administrator, who provided them with opportunities and encouragement to
get an administrators license and apply for advancement opportunities -
through these . However, first one must have teachers of color.
Teachers of color were more often recruited through social networks
without strong connections (friend of a friend, e.g.), while
administrators were recruited by strong mentoring relationships. The
race and gender of the mentor was not a factor. Emilio Hernandez, Community Advisor Mike Anderson, Liaison, Creswell School District Mark Boren, Liaison, Fern Ridge School DistrictDerek Pennel, Liaison, Blachly School District |
