Focusing & Coordinating a Birth – 3rd Grade Community System
Overall Purpose of Today’s Session
To design a roadmap and
galvanize support for a full and sustainable
implementation of a Community-‐Wide Birth-‐3rd Grade
Educational System
By September 2013 what will we have accomplished?
Background
Students are not ready for school
Children who start behind academically have a difficult time
catching up Intensive
intervention is costly and does not ensure
“catching up”
Nearly 11 million American children under 5 spend part
of their day in childcare
To get all of us on the same page, heading the same
direction
Purpose of Today’s Session
To understand our common work
To get 30-‐40 great
ideas to serve as a foundation of our
action plan
Non-‐Purpose of Today’s Session
To seek community assistance in
operationalizing our plan
To complete this plan
What would the success indicators (evidence) be within the first 100 days of the project? (How will we know we have hit a home
run?
Ways I can help to build this project
Top Ideas
Tasks
Who Will Do It/ Deadline
Expected Results
To wring our hands about things we cannot control
Background, Continued
To talk about other RSD initiatives
Nearly 4 classrooms of kindergartners across RSD show up at risk and have had
no access to preschool
More community outreach is needed -‐ philanthropy as well as volunteerism Two years of planning and
research on the part of administrators in
our district (Washington State Leadership Academy Team) has shown this is a critical area
to address
Social skills are the number one reason supporting long-‐term employment or the reverse: Longitudinal
research shows the importance of
cognitive and non-‐cognitive skills
The 2005-‐06
Superintendent’s Task Force identified the weakness in our
programming, particularly related to children of need
Compression Planning Summary Report – June 1, 2012 – Page 5 of 15
Brainstormed Ideas about how people can help/contribute toward this initiative:
• Assist with cost • Staffing • Materials • Training • Resources • Partner with school district – be identified as an ACES supporter • Child training • Purchase supplies and resources • Professional development of preschool teachers and parents – dollars and training • Build capacity in their working environment • Help deliver strategic resources • Help define what we need to make this work
