It may be #backtoschool season, but we know preparing for #summerlearning begins now! Led by the nonprofit FHI 360, the Wallace-funded DSLN has helped more than 100 districts across six states design, carry out, and sustain high-quality, evidence-based summer learning programs that prepare students for academic success and support their well-being. A research team at NYU Metro Center is studying the effort. The team is producing a series of “Summer Snapshots” to highlight how districts across the country are reimagining what a summer program can be. This first summer snapshot focuses on high school students faced with making up class credits over the summer. It examines how two school districts, Manchester Public School District, in Connecticut, and Oakland Unified School District, in California, have reinvented their programs to take a more holistic approach to academics and enrichment over the summer. They are moving beyond credit makeup to accelerate learning and better prepare students for the upcoming year.

At What School Could Be, we’re thrilled to spotlight #Michigan this month—a state where innovative educators are transforming learning. Too often, education happens in silos, leaving some feeling isolated in traditional systems or wondering why more schools don’t adopt creative practices. Our mission is to bridge these gaps by showcasing schools and educators breaking the mold, connecting them with others eager to learn and grow. This month’s #WSCBSpotlight highlights Michigan educators redefining what learning can be. In schools like Sault Ste. Marie High School, students engage in math that goes beyond equations, applying it to real-world challenges while developing agency, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. #contextualmath #mathwithapurpose Watch the video to see this in action, and share your thoughts below. Does this remind you of a school in your community? What changes do you hope to see in your own schools? Let’s keep the conversation—and inspiration—going!

Take a look at how Michigan educators are equipping their students with skills and mindsets for the future!

Partnership for Student Success is proud to share the National Partnership for Student Success’ 2022-2025 Impact Report, documenting the progress made through the NPSS public-private partnership between AmeriCorps, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Everyone Graduates Center, Johns Hopkins University. From July 2022 through mid-January 2025 the NPSS worked to help implement and scale tutoring, mentoring, and other evidence-based services to students in the wake of the pandemic. One of the biggest highlights from this report is the fact that the partnership has exceeded its original goal by mobilizing 323,000 adults to serve in these critical roles! ✅ READ the full report and LEARN MORE about the continued positive impact we’re making in schools and communities nationwide. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eRmSW4i9 #StudentSuccess #EducationMatters

In nearly 20 years - I’ve personally worked in schools in Pittsburgh, Chicago (city and suburbs), San Francisco, and the North Bay of San Francisco. One thing is consistently true - our schools are systemically and historically segregated - racially and socio-economically. Overwhelmingly, Black and Latino/a students attend schools that abhorrently under-resourced in every aspect - staffing, educational resources, enrichment opportunities, safety, and basic best practices. Meanwhile, their predominantly white peers at neighboring school districts benefit, learn, and grow with ample opportunities and resources (and of course funding from various sources including active parent associations filling the gaps). I’ve dedicated the majority of my work to bridging access to the arts and creativity for systemically marginalized communities — here is the part where I tell you all the data that points to the arts as a catalyst for increasing student opportunity and potential —— I believe that AND it’s not enough. Our SYSTEMS need significant and sweeping change. 70 years since #BrownvsBoardofEducation…but our education and socioeconomic policies continue to uphold systems that are hurting families and students. This OpEd resonated with my tired arts advocate heart. Our work helps - but we are swimming against currents and tides that need more sweeping change in direction. If you’re out there - and work in this space - let’s keep working toward sweeping change. I believe it can happen. #education #hope #artseducation

“Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? The Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.” — Lewis Carroll, *Alice in Wonderland* Alice's encounter with the enigmatic Cheshire Cat in Lewis Carroll's renowned work serves as a fitting metaphor for our collaborative journeys in education reform. Like Alice, those involved in education often find themselves at a crossroads, uncertain about which path to take. However, the Cheshire Cat's response to Alice's question, "Where do you want to go?" underscores the importance of having a clear purpose or goal in mind. At Naomi Parker Fraley Education, we are guided by a clear mission, vision, culture, and values aimed at reforming American education. Our mission is to expand access to quality education by establishing campuses and advocating for school choice vouchers. This is a crucial time of transition within the American education system, and we are proud to be at the forefront of these changes. We honor the traditions and practices of one-room schoolhouses from the American frontier, while also embracing innovative approaches alongside traditional methods. Let us be inspired by Alice's curious and adventurous spirit as we work toward a brighter future for American education. This significant shift in the traditional education system positions us as pioneers of change as we make private education publicly accessible. Together, we can build schools where students thrive through personalized education that meets their individual needs. Let's embrace Alice's adventurous spirit as we work toward a brighter future in American education, holding onto the motto of Rosie the Riveter—"We Can Do It!"—in our hearts. #education #schoolchoice #schoolleadership #students #entreprenuer Naomi Parker Fraley Education
