In a recent edition of Exchange Every Day dedicated to embracing families, communities, and culture, Monica Wells, our family and community program administrator, shared her deep connection to families and communities and how it positively impacts children's success. "Strong, authentic relationships between our families, students, and educators are key. We must speak life into our students, cheer them on, teach them the skills, and provide the tools they need to be prepared for the future. We must show examples of the power, importance, and necessity of community." Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gc7ur8uu

?? Here are a few of the most powerful thoughts I’m reflecting on from Dayton Moore’s session: Make an advanced decision. A decision in the moment is a reaction. Take no credit for the wins but all of the responsibility for the mistakes. If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not being aggressive enough. Give people more than they expect. Don’t buy into fear and don’t let perfection paralyze you. Model the behavior you want to see. Be real with your team. You never grow out of the need to practice the fundamentals and build the muscle. You won’t be perfect, but we serve a perfect God who modeled perfect leadership in Christ. ??

Following a career in public education, College of Education alumna Dr. Susan Sclafani seeks to empower the future generation of leaders in education and high-level administrators.

The attack on public schools is an attack on equity in our education system. Traditional public school districts in Ohio serve more than 1.8 million students and employ more than 245,000 Ohioans. An investment in our public schools is an investment in our nation’s 50 million public school students. #fundpublicschools #nationalpublicschoolsweek

This summer, the Herzog Foundation has welcomed 1,951 guests at 27 trainings in 2.5 months across 11 states and Washington D.C. Here are some things I learned: ?? God can sustain you to do more than you think you can do. ?? God is faithful to bring the people into your work: never too early or when you think you need them but right when it counts. ?? I have no filter when I'm tired (although let's be real, we all knew this already). But with grace, saying the hard thing is always the right thing. ?? No matter how much care and intentionality you put into something, you cannot please everyone. Consider feedback from people you know and who know your work closely more carefully than new voices. (And definitely don't listen to people who tell you to iron your suit at 2pm. So sorry I sat down that day!) ?? On that note, find your joy everyday. If our guests, if teachers' students, if your team doesn't see joy in you, the work is just harder. Tap into your Kingdom Why. Most importantly: ?? This year will be the best one yet in Christian education. I am so encouraged by the leaders and educators who have learned, listened, contributed, corrected, and planned this summer. There's a shared sense of urgency to get our schools in order and do it now so that we can sustain growth and grow excellence. There is amazing work being done by schools and partners across this country. Now I am going to go rest ... until Sept 9 when we do it all again.

The science of learning and development tells us that belonging is a critical building block. What if every child learned in a place that fostered pride in their identity? It’s already happening at the NACA Inspired Schools Network! #futureofeducation #futureoflearning #k12innovation

Recognizing the power of place, acknowledging the power the place, tapping into the power the place, and learning to see and listen to the stories to be discovered in the places we live, work, and travel is fundamental to CSCR's mission. Engaging students in authenic civic and scientific issues prominent in the local community is not only a process that prepares students to be stewards of community resources, it informs all of us about our shared principles and values; it enables us to collectively advance the Common Good. This shared objective, grounded in our Constitution, is equally present in the vision statement of Cohasset Public Schools: "empowering students to improve communities." https://conta.cc/4f6mjOB

Love this picture, because it reminds me of the time Manuel Guerra and Ryan West of Chemeketa Community College breached their Fiduciary Duty by telling me to file suit or complaints with the very parties they’ve close to, such as this one, and the Office for Civil Rights, Department of Education, while providing no avenue to dispute resolution and implying I couldn’t represent myself otherwise, in their investigation which deviated from internal policy. Specifically, Ryan West, Manuel Guerra, and Keith Russell failed to provide a 3rd party independent investigation into my Discrimination and Harassment. If they write their own rules, while justifying the perfect defense against bad behavior, shouldn’t you be aware this was against #504 #IEP #IdeaLaws #ADA #Laws? Clearly the college doesn’t care about human life when the tactics used to silence my claims are the same tactics used to retain a sexual predator only 4 months later. Seemingly, the easier solution is to hire people with fake credentials, duping the college in the very thing they’ve made me certified. This while weaponizing their connection with police training to threaten police violence for my advocacy. I’m further amused some administrators are blocking me. For those who have elected themselves to be responsible educators, it seems either seeing or dealing with the truth of what you’ve done to your students is simply too much of a burden to bear on behalf of the very specific people who did this to me, to my face, without remorse and full awareness of the evil they were doing. Face accountability, stop running and hiding, it’s the worst possible response from an academic institution such as Chemeketa Community College and the CHEMEKETA CLASSIFIED ASSOCIATION who are associated by default.
