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

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
