I really appreciate this framework and the role it plays in our work at Barr - AND I keep thinking about how helpful it would have been in my previous roles. When you work in advocacy, you have to choose what you will focus on at any given moment. By laying out a comprehensive framework, the Indicators of School Quality can help advocates pinpoint how the issues they are tackling connect with others, and what else needs to move to drive impact for young people.

Transforming Lives, One Snack at a Time ?? with DonorsChoose In the heart of the Bronx, a dedicated Pre-K teacher is on a mission to ensure that her bright, funny, and endlessly curious students can learn and grow without the distraction of hunger. At their Title 1 school, breakfast and lunch are provided, but the long stretch until the end of the day leaves growing kids hungry and less able to focus. This teacher is stepping up to fill the gap with a simple, yet profound initiative: providing afternoon snacks to her students. This is where we can all make a tangible difference. Just a small contribution can help ensure these young learners have the energy they need to thrive in their crucial developmental stage. It's more than just snacks; it's about giving these kids the best possible start in life, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Let's join forces to support this vital project and all of the others on DonorsChoose to embody the change we wish to see in the world. Every little bit helps. DonorsChoose is a groundbreaking platform that empowers public school teachers across America to bring their classroom dreams to life. By connecting generous donors with educators in need, DonorsChoose makes it possible to provide essential resources and experiences, ensuring that every child has the tools to succeed, regardless of their circumstances. #EducationEquity #SupportTeachers #CommunityImpact

In an unexpected plot twist that has education policy makers scratching their heads, Jay-Z threw his weight behind?the proposed $100 million PASS program?that would provide scholarships to students in Pennsylvania’s lowest-performing schools. Let's break it down: ??First, these aren't your Uncle Milton’s vouchers. Families could use the funds for private schools, yes, but also for various educational services and resources. ??It's less about abandoning ships and more about "building more lifeboats." The goal is to expand options for families with the greatest needs. ??As more states experiment with flexible funding models, the lines between traditional public, private, and alternative education options are blurring. With Jay-Z in the mix, the education reform debate just got much more interesting. Who knows, maybe we'll see Beyoncé leading a task force on STEM education next? ?? https://lnkd.in/gSzWX3-v

70 years ago today the U.S. Supreme Court struck down separate but equal schooling, ruling racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. About a generation of students attended integrated schools, but now public schools are again mostly segregated. If the goal is to equip students with tools to adjust to life after school in more diverse workplaces, how do we find education equity? #Brownspromise is the mission of the non-profit #SouthernEducationFoundation. https://lnkd.in/e3j7rvcc
