The Shared Leadership Network met to explore the topic of Meaningfully Involving Families and Communities. THIS IS WHAT WE LEARNED: Meaningfully involving students, families, and communities goes beyond asking for their opinions. It means intentionally involving them in the design process, actively encouraging families and community organizations to be on campus and involved in student activities, and valuing families as experts in their larger communities. Here are some examples ?? ?? Teams devote time and funds for home visits, encouraging parent participation in some projects and internships, allowing students to gain credit while working to better their communities. ?? Teams decide to adopt a year-round schedule or adjust daily start and end times to better meet the needs of the students and community. ?? Teams advance a bilingual and bicultural program that is different from the district’s standard language immersion. ?? Teams decide to use a community schools model to meet the needs of the whole community, including offering medical and dental services, opening their campuses after school hours for activities and adult education, and providing social services connections.

As part of my annual spring tour of colleges, this past week I visited Bennington College in Bennington, Vermont. I'd lived in Bennington briefly about 20 years ago, but had never actually visited Bennington College until this year. Bennington is a small college of about 730 students with a charming campus filled with eclectic and thoughtfully constructed learning and living spaces. What stands out to me most about Bennington is its innovative curriculum. Rather than declare a traditional major, Bennington students develop an academic plan focusing on a single, challenging, often interdisciplinary intellectual problem or question. Students then embark upon an ambitious research process, including multiple internships, classes, and tutorials, culminating in a 30-60 page research paper as well as some sort of public-facing presentation or performance. Similar to a dissertation committee, a committee of faculty members works closely with each student to hone their research questions, ask questions of their own, provide feedback and support, and help direct the student toward opportunities after they graduate. Many Bennington students go on to graduate school to continue and deepen their research pursuits. It is an innovative, rigorous, and inquiry-driven approach to undergraduate studies, and the students I spoke to were extremely excited about the projects they had embarked upon. The type of student most likely to succeed at Bennington is someone who is, or aspires to be, self driven in their intellectual pursuits, who does not expect a uniform or cookie-cutter design to their program of study. Students enrolling at Bennington don't necessarily need to be natural leaders among their peers, but they do need to be community minded. Bennington students are generally oriented toward helping to make the world a better place, and are people seeking to use their educational experiences to make a difference.

This is exciting to me---this could open many doors for not only traditional students but adult learners as well. Who will be among the first institutions to embrace this? What do you all think? #degreein3 #highereducation #studentsuccess Traction for the three-year bachelor’s degree (insidehighered.com)

Upcoming webinar from The Chronicle of Higher Education with support from The University of Texas at San Antonio about one of the most important topics regarding student success in #highereducation.

For high school students with Ivy League and top college aspirations, summer can be a particularly stressful time. The pressure to stand out in the college admissions process can feel overwhelming, especially if you missed the deadlines for prestigious academic summer programs. But don't worry, it's not too late to engage in meaningful summer activities that will impress Ivy League admissions officers! Whether it's volunteering in your community, interning at a local business, or pursuing a personal project, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your summer. By demonstrating initiative, creativity, and a passion for learning, you can showcase your potential as a future Ivy League student. Here are 5 ideas that students can still plan... https://lnkd.in/entxP9WX

The world today faces a multitude of challenges – violent conflicts disrupt education and stability, a polarized online environment fosters negativity, and persistent economic inequality limits opportunities. These issues threaten not only individual futures but also the overall stability of societies. It is crucial to equip youth with the skills needed to foster a culture of peace, nurture responsible global citizens, and promote sustainable development, in order to build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future for all. In the spirit of cultivating a more inclusive space, we’re unpacking May East’s “Leverage Point 2 – Developing spaces for gathering and belonging” – where summer youth interns of Eye on Ivy relook at their everyday public spaces with lens of curiosity. Seeing what that place means to them, what makes that place unique, is the place living up to its full potential?

250. The number of First Gen Scholars we serve on an annual basis. 6,000. annual total of first-generation, low-income students in the County of San Diego who meet the requirements to apply for a four-year university, each with the potential to make a significant impact. 50%. The percentage of first-gens each year in San Diego who DO NOT apply for this opportunity. If you were the first in your family to go to college, we hope that the stories that our Scholars resonate with you.The question to ask yourself is… what if YOU had First Gen Scholars…where would you apply? Where would you attend? This fall, while we have 16 Scholars from all over San Diego attending Ivy Leagues, Stanford and USC (almost all on full rides), what we are most proud of is that 8 out of every 10 of our Scholars are on track to graduate with no debt! Our summer program is fully funded by the school districts, we have made a promise to support our Scholars year-round. In addition, we have over 700 Scholars currently in college that we continue to support. Our goal is to create that talent pipeline to fulfill the 20K priority sector jobs so that scholars may have thriving careers and build generational wealth for their families.You can play a pivotal role in supporting First Gen Scholars by donating today. https://lnkd.in/gwte4czD The 250 students we serve each year represent just a fraction (1/24th) of the San Diego students who are eligible and deserve the opportunity of a higher education. If you are a local San Diego Company or organization, we are developing a more robust high school and college internship program and we would love to meet with you to see what that partnership could look like. Thank you for your support. A special shout out to the LOCAList San Diego and Fox 5 San Diego for highlighting us, and to John Lee and Venture X San Diego for allowing the use of your beautiful space. #FirstGenScholars #TheFutureIsFirstGen
