We are extremely proud of our Center City PCS Brightwood campus on being ranked in the top 5% of schools studied, positively changing the trajectory of students' lives. ?? ??
?? Exciting News Alert! ?? This morning, TNTP, ?a leading national education nonprofit, released their new report, The Opportunity Makers: How A Diverse Group of Public Schools Helps Students Catch Up — and How Far More Can. In it, they feature seven "trajectory-changing" schools from around the country and — spoiler alert — my school, Center City PCS Brightwood, was one of them! TNTP asked how schools can help all students succeed, no matter where they start. They started by looking at nearly 28,000 elementary and middle schools where the average student was not yet on grade level and found that less than 5% of schools help students catch up if they’re behind. Not only was Brightwood part of that top group, we were in the top 2% of all U.S. schools for student learning growth! Brightwood students have averaged over 1.4 years of learning growth each year for the past ten years, even through the challenges of COVID. For the past two years, TNTP has been at these seven schools studying students, teachers, leaders, and families. They wanted to understand what we’re doing right so other schools can learn from us. To see what they found, check out the report (https://lnkd.in/eJkEdbrg) and please feel free to share widely with your networks! I am incredibly grateful to be part of the Brightwood family and so proud of our amazing team — past and present — that has contributed to these amazing results. We're excited about this honor and we’re doubling down on what we know is possible for kids! #OpportunityMakers #TNTP

Exciting news! ?? Today, CityTutor DC is thrilled to announce the release of "Learnings from Transforming Teaching Pilots: A Brighter Future for Students and Teachers." In this white paper, we share key actions and promising outcomes from the first Transforming Teaching Pilots (TTP) cohort, which included Center City Public Charter Schools, District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), Friendship Public Charter School, and DC Scholars Public Charter School. During the 2023-24 academic year, these TTP participants worked with “design partners” to explore four principles to make the teaching profession more sustainable and equitable: professional trust, shared responsibility, specialization, and workday flexibility. Their learnings illustrated a continuing need for team-based staffing strategies to support teachers and a strengthened talent pipeline. ??
