PSP seeks to improve its internship program through increased visibility, selective recruitment, and incentives. It will update its website, utilize university connections, and maintain a campus presence. Sources of funding like the Kresge Foundation could support stipends. Select interns would receive payments through a competitive evaluation process. Unpaid interns could benefit from mentoring, networking events, and an online alumni database. Appendices provide funding sources and FLSA guidance.
The document discusses multi-academy trusts (MATs), which are groups of schools that collaborate under a single organization. Some key points:
- MATs allow schools to achieve economies of scale through shared services like finance, administration, and purchasing. They also enable sharing of best practices and teacher specialization across schools.
- The preferred model of the Department for Education is for schools to join MATs. By 2020, all schools are expected to become academies, either by joining existing MATs or forming new ones.
- A typical MAT structure has a board of trustees at the top governing the trust, with local governing bodies (LGBs) at each school delegated certain responsibilities from the trustees.
The document discusses 5 top university incubators that provide exceptional resources and support for student entrepreneurs:
1. University of California, Berkeley's SkyDeck fund offers up to $100,000 in funding and 10% equity investment for accepted startups. Successful companies include Flourish, Empire Biotechnologies, and Cooljamm.

The document discusses the use of simulations for corporate training. It describes how simulations can be used to reinforce learning, build skills through experience and feedback, and assess learning outcomes. Simulations are presented as being more engaging for learners than traditional teaching methods by incorporating elements of competition, role-playing scenarios, and trial-and-error learning. The document provides examples of simulations for topics like finance, trading, and HR strategies. It also notes some limitations of simulations and the importance of using them strategically rather than blanketly across all training topics.
Bryant Nielson - Transformative Corporate Training with SimulationsSeriousGamesAssoc
Presenter: Bryant Nielson, Executive Director / Founder, CapitalWave Inc.
Gamification is not just entertainment, but a powerful corporate learning tool which can give a better understanding of complex financial concepts. By employing multiple platform interfaces, our use of simulations create engaging competitions that include design elements such as: multi-player games, team based cooperation, rule based mechanics, dynamic environments, and feedback that is motivational and instructional. Integration of theory based teaching with a highly correlated gaming environment allows the opportunity to test various strategic and behavioral applications of knowledge. The use of ‘simulation writers’ allows instructors flexibility in creating environments and outcomes that are aligned with the knowledge based content that they are delivering. Players approach each game with a case-based perspective. CapitalWave’s use of simulations create opportunities to test and engage both staff and clients. Our adoption of this powerful learning tool is a key differentiator of our firm and for our corporate training.

Implementing a Comprehensive Data Collection Strategy to Support Student SuccessSalesforce.org
Presentation from Salesforce.org Higher Ed Summit 2018 by: Katie Connor, Career Development, Bailey Aukes, Career Communications & Analytics Specialist, and Kelly Hamilton, Career Operations Coordinator.
Over the past 3 years, the Career Development Office at the Leeds School of Business has built a comprehensive 4-year data collection strategy leveraging the integration of Qualtrics and Salesforce. This approach has allowed us to better understand student career interests and challenges in order to customize career programming, student communication, and employer outreach. From an initial focus on senior progress and outcomes, we expanded data collection efforts through the implementation of the Leeds Personal Business Plan starting in the freshman year. This Plan is integrated into classroom assignments and updated by all students throughout their college career. As a result of these efforts, we now have over 50,000 data points, ranging from first-years through seniors, regarding company/industry interests and career development needs. Our strategy has improved both student and employer engagement, increased student response rates, and consistently led to an over 95% knowledge rate of senior outcomes. Attendees at this session will learn how the powerful combination of Qualtrics integration with Salesforce can be used to develop a comprehensive picture of student interests and needs. Participants will learn how they can leverage this information to develop targeted communication and intervention strategies to support student success.

Measuring Impact - Tying Learning to Strategic Business OutcomesAxonify
This webinar was recorded on Mar 9th, 2016. To get the full recording please visit: http://know.axonify.com/webinar-measuring-impact
59% of organizations we recently surveyed say that they have difficulty connecting learning to business outcomes1. This is a major problem given that many L&D leaders are facing pressures to not only provide other functions with accurate, actionable data, but also to utilize data for decision-making in their own organizations.
The document discusses key lessons from the Harvard Business School executive education program, including an emphasis on continuous and revolutionary change to maintain growth. It contrasts leadership and management, noting that both are required for business success. Leadership involves vision, strategy, and communication, while management focuses on planning, organizing, and controlling. The document also discusses the importance of values, passion, and vision in achieving long-term profitable growth for companies like J&J, Southwest Airlines, and Walmart.
As with all strategic investments, the development of human capital must produce returns that meet or exceed financial and organizational objectives. Too often, training and organizational development initiatives are evaluated based upon classroom-oriented metrics like number of attendees, pass rates and certifications. While important, executive-level stakeholders find it difficult to use metrics like this to discern the true strategic impact of these initiatives on overall business objectives. A better way to measure success is to take a business-objective approach through the strategic alignment of an organization’s goals with a comprehensive training and development curriculum that advances organizational performance and individual accountability. Using the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as a model, learn how taking a business-objective approach to training and development translates into successful execution. This workshop will feature practical, actionable tactics for ensuring that your staff is accountable and ready to advance strategies and priorities after the classroom work is completed.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Start-up Fact - NC study of 70 charter schools – 87% of school failures happen in the first three years.
Growth Fact –
Sustainable Maturity Fact –
Charter schools are challenged in a number of operational areas. Interestingly, 42% of charter schools fail due to financial issues. Charter school capital was created for the sole purpose of funding charter schools and we believe we can play a key role is assisting charter schools to overcome many of the finance challenges they face. Although this pie charter shows distinct boundaries between many of the identified categories, we all know financial issues can contribute across the board. Specific example could be the mismanagement of funds due to the challenge associated with cash flow. Additionally, the need for funding of technology to support academic initiatives. Finally, our experience indicates that the challenges associated with facilities tends to begin in the lack of flexible financing approaches that can address the unique needs of charter schools.

Entering into Growth phase
Schools 3-5 years in operation
Adapt to new education standards
Continued growth
Strain on schools to sustain
What are the common misperceptions schools may face during the Growth phase?
· “After the third year, all will be in place and its smooth sailing!”
· Performance targets and accountability requirements will be the same as when the charter was approved.
· Professional and leadership development will be limited, because teachers and principals will be fully trained.
· Routines and systems will be in place and there’s no need to change.
· There will be sufficient funds from our operating revenue to support enrollment expansion and related capital requirements.
· Facility upgrades will be minimal, if at all.
MARSHALL
What are the challenges schools face during the growth phase?
· Adjusting to higher expectations and new and/or changing state/sponsor accountability requirements
· The ability to advance from incremental progress in student performance to higher levels of performance and expectations
· Managing with limited resources and often, facing greater demands for services
· Inefficient or inadequate operating and data systems (including student assessment systems)
· The annual loss of high quality teachers and leaders
· The ability to recruit, select and hire new teachers for schools with increasing enrollments
· The lack of adequate capital for FFE, marketing and curriculum for increasing student enrollments or campuses
· Inadequate funding and/or lack of quality professional development and leadership training necessary to meet new expectations, curriculum and standards.
What can schools do to meet these challenges?
· Build in ‘longer term’ expectations for continuous growth and development and create the right school culture from the beginning.
· School Improvement plans must have a clear delineation of the multi-year goals and measures, and must include clear strategies, actions, milestones and evaluation component.
· Schools and their staff must be prepared for the “roll out” of Common Core State Standards and the implications for curriculum, leader and teacher knowledge and skills, and how schools and classrooms should be organized.
· Greater access to resources and expanding the learning environment via technology.
· Conduct an annual “Quality Review” grounded in school standards of excellence.
· Make “Capacity Building” and on-going priority (on-going training and development of school leaders and teachers, staff recruitment).
· Create structures within schools that enable teachers to track their students’ progress and advance changes in practice on a routine basis.
· Improved ‘assessment’ systems that provide teachers and school leaders with user friendly, real time data and information.
MARSHALL
What approach did you take and what are some best practices you can provide?
· Prepare staff for the opening of school throughout the summer (July, early August and prior to school opening), rather than an intensive 5-10 days of training just prior to opening of school.
· School Culture: Must be grounded in core values and all must know your routines and procedures and a shared language or terms. Create the “Wilson (your school’s name) Way” or another research based program.
· Your school improvement plan should be a “live” document that includes a roadmap and key milestones that be celebrated as they are accomplished.
· Focus on continuous leadership development and growth. We have created a program with several components, that include: Leadership Standards of Practice (and an accompanying set of rubrics), select conference/s participation, assignment of a mentor, exposure to high performing learning environments).
· Focus teacher training and development on the essential changes that are unfolding: Common Core, Inquiry Based learning and Project Based learning approaches, understanding and using assessment data appropriately, etc.
· Create PLCs (professional learning communities) and/or “data teams”, and a school schedule that enables them to operate effectively and efficiently.
· Expand your community’s vision of the learning environment to one that is 24/7 and includes the use of technology and other educational institutions within your community.

What are some best practices you can provide?
Define your objectives clearly and communicate extensively (both internally and externally). Celebrate your successes and analyze your failures. Develop a data-driven culture but make sure you retain the passion that got you started. Most importantly, take what you do very seriously without taking yourself too seriously. At Mosaica, we identified the eight “pillars” that define what we do. Our most important pillar is to focus on student achievement. Everything we do is driven by that goal. Professional development, parental and community involvement, the use of technology in the delivery of instruction, a safe and secure learning environment, the use of our Paragon® humanities curriculum and a extended learning times are also pillars, where we seek to employ best key practices. In each of those areas, we regularly assess our performance and work to improve.
