Beyond The Bake Sale
This document discusses the importance of building social capital in schools through narratives and storytelling. It argues that social networks have value and facilitate individual and collective action. However, the bonds of communities have weakened over time. It promotes the idea of teachers and school leaders acting as "narrative champions" by sharing stories and engaging with students, parents and the community in order to strengthen relationships and build social capital. Several examples are provided of educators who publicly share their experiences and engage in discussion to improve their schools.

Because the word “publishing” means a cadre of professionals who are taking on the incredible difficulty and complexity and expense of making something public. That’s not a job anymore. That’s a button. There’s a button that says “publish,” and when you press it, it’s done.

- 59. Thanks, Lisa, forfilling us in on the details of DF teachers professional development. We are grateful for the amazing teachers our daughter has encountered so far at Springhurst. I am all for whatever we as a district can do to invest in the learning of this most precious resource. ! I'm looking forward to seeing you again this week at the Friday morning book chat. ! Happy holidays! ! Greta
- 60. Dear Dr. Brady- I do understand the importance of teacher development days, but why are they counted as our children's school days? I believe that for our teachers annual pay levels some summer school hours (teachers and/or students) would not be out of line. What are the impediments to that? ! How do we start a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of Early Dismissal days? This days are some of the most disruptive days my children have. ! Thank you. Sandra Merrow
- 61. Sandra, ! Thanksfor your feedback and insights. Early Dismissal Days do count toward student attendance days and teacher PD is handled pretty much the same way in most school districts. We have quite a lot of summer professional development that occurs every summer. One of the challenges is that not all teachers can necessarily be here at the same time in the summer which limits the work that can be done by department or grade level teams. There is so much that needs to be done right now because of the new APPR requirements that necessitates teachers having time to work together on assessments, rubrics and planning. We really do try to do the best that we can with the limited time we have. ! ! Dr. Brady
- 62. “Lisa Brady, oneof my favorite school superintendents, decided not to wait for the conversation to start on its own. She went into her community in Dobbs Ferry, New York, and invited parents into a book study of Tony Wagner’s The Global Achievement Gap. Over a six-month period, she went to parent meetings, coffees, and other informal gatherings to listen to what the parents reading the book had to say about it. They told her: We have to change.”
