Diplomas Count: Finding Great Local Partnerships to Build School Community
In every district, there are schools that need community support and business and community groups that want to be more involved in education. But it can be tough to align the schools' needs with what outside organizations are able to provide.
Join us for a conversation with Feowyn MacKinnon, the principal of MC2 STEM High School in Cleveland, an innovative school that effectively turned the city into a learning campus. Entire grades are co-located in the city's science museum, a college, and even a Fortune 500 company campus. MacKinnon and teacher Forest Clayton discuss how they harness outside expertise and resources to help students succeed.
Underwriting for this webinar has been provided by the Carnegie Corporation of New York

Guests:

Forest Clayton, 10th grade biology teacher, MC2 STEM High School, Cleveland, Ohio
Feowyn MacKinnon, principal, MC2 STEM High School, Cleveland, Ohio

This webinar will be moderated by Sarah D. Sparks, assistant editor, Education Week

Session 3: Allies Not Foes: School - Family Partnerships Webinar

Okay --- we are already at Session 3 of our Reducing Achievement Gaps by 4th Grade: The PreK-3rd Approach in Action Series which will take place on Wednesday, May 16th from 3 - 4:30 pm in the SERC Library Community Room.

Session 3 is all about families and the critical roles they can play in closing achievement gaps, but schools often underestimate what it takes to create meaningful partnerships with a wide range of families to improve children's academic, social, and educational progress. Research--and common sense--tell us that to engage families in their children's learning, educators should be partnering with families as early as possible and sustaining that involvement beyond the first few days or years of school. To learn more come join us at the webinar!
