The document discusses strategies for improving school-parent compacts to better support student academic achievement. It suggests that many current compacts are token agreements that do not provide practical ways for families to help students meet goals like improving third grade literacy. The presentation advocates for compacts that clearly describe the school's responsibilities and ways families can support learning at home. It also discusses research showing the important role families play in factors like school readiness, reducing absenteeism, and preventing summer learning loss - all of which influence third grade reading proficiency. The document argues that schools should create strategic plans involving families to accomplish goals like improving third grade literacy.

Unlocking potential: Closing the Education Achievement Gap in Northern IrelandCorrine Heaney
Education is the primary vehicle by which economically and socially disadvantaged children can change their lives, lift themselves out of poverty and obtain the means to participate fully in their communities. The children starting primary school in 2016 will have grown up in an economic recession and amid greatly reduced public expenditure within N. Ireland. We cannot let the ‘age of austerity’ limit this generation’s educational achievement or their aspirations.

Parental Practices Are Better Predictors Of Student Achievementnoblex1
Forty years of research have shown that family involvement in education is one of the most powerful predictors of student success in school. Yet many high-poverty schools still have low levels of parent involvement and experience little success in their efforts to increase it.

8.1 Why Working With Families Is So Important
Building supportive and collaborative relationships with families is one of the most important priorities in early childhood education. Trust between home and school is built over time, starting with the very first phone call or visit to the program. Positive relationships between program staff and family members are supported in small ways, such as the friendly tone of voice a teacher uses at pickup time, or in big ways, such as the welcoming policies described in the family handbook.
Benefits to Children
Just as infants and young children must learn how to trust others in order to learn and grow, an early childhood program must earn a family's trust before the child can fully participate in what the program has to offer. Children benefit when families and teachers communicate and work closely together, forming trusting relationships and sharing expectations and ideas (Barbour, 2007).
Strong parent-school relationships create positive outcomes for children both cognitively and emotionally (Callender & Hansen, n.d.). For example, studies of Head Start children reveal a positive correlation between parent involvement and children's academic growth in the areas of vocabulary, literacy, and mathematics (Wen, Bulotsky-Shearer, Hahs-Vaughn, & Korfmacher, 2012). Other studies indicate that parental involvement in school improves children's behavior and self-esteem, and it also decreases the chances children will be referred for special education services (Callender & Hansen, n.d.; Henrich & Blackman-Jones, 2006; Pena, 2000).
Benefits to Families
Parents and other family members, such as grandparents, also benefit from family involvement in early childhood programs. The staff members of the early childhood programs, including administrators, teachers, and caregivers, serve as role models for parents, demonstrating nurturing and learning relationships and interactions. Parents who spend time in their children's early childhood classrooms learn strategies for supporting children's learning that they can use in their own interactions with their children (Keyser, 2006).
Benefits to the Program
For the early childhood administrator, building a strong collaborative partnership with families is good for business. Whether your organization is nonprofit or for-profit, your program's success and reputation are built on the positive word of mouth generated by happy families. From marketing to fee collection, strong collaborative relationships with families will help make every part of the administrator's job easier and more productive.
Parent involvement also helps inform and enhance the work of teachers and administrators. When parents and teachers communicate frequently, teachers learn more about the traditions, values, and culture of the families, and can use this information to shape the curriculum and activities (Gonzales-Mena, 2008).
For administrators, parent involvement can sometimes help the program .

High Quality Family Engagement The Equity Issue of Our Time HandoutChris Shade
Evaluate this session
Under ESSA, schools are no longer confined to “core academic subjects” as the only measure of student success. Previous educational reforms did not sufficiently address the social and emotional factors crucial in learning. States, districts, and schools now have the flexibility to provide a “well-rounded education” including activities in social emotional learning, skills essential to academic success. ESSA provides balance where the focus had become too narrow under NCLB; and it encourages means to ensure access and equity for all students. While many focus on what educators can do to ensure equitability, there is no substitute for parents’ role as a child’s first teacher. To close the opportunity gap, districts and schools must find, develop, and deploy practical and scalable solutions to empower parents and families to be an active part in eliminating barriers. Discover how ReadyRosie offers research-based strategies to help close that gap.
ESSA Parent & Family Engagement Beyond Checking the Box WebinarChris Shade
For years, Denton Independent School District schools offered the typical parental involvement activities Dr. Karen L. Mapp of Harvard calls “random acts of parent involvement” in her article, Unlocking Families’ Potential. Our schools had good intentions, but the results didn’t always quite live up to expectations. While the events weren’t bad in and of themselves, activities were a one-time event and not necessarily sustainable. When I learned of what ReadyRosie offered, a product unlike any I’d ever seen, I knew we had uncovered a way to link parent and family engagement to student learning and development, the essential component of an effective program. Not only did ReadyRosie strengthen engagement, it helped address a number of requirements of the Every Student Succeeds Act in our efforts to improve student achievement.
September 20th at 12pm CT we will be hosting a free webinar to share more about how Denton ISD is using ReadyRosie to meet ESSA requirements in a meaningful way.

Recent educational reforms did not sufficiently address the socio-emotional factors crucial in learning. States, districts, and schools now have the flexibility to provide a “well-rounded education” including activities in social emotional learning, skills essential to academic success. ESSA provides opportunities to encourage balance where the focus had become too narrow —and to do so in ways that ensure access and equity for all students. While many focus on what educators can do to ensure true equitability, there is no substitute for parents’ role as a child’s first teacher.

#BLC17 Rebranding through Social Media HandoutChris Shade
The foundation of a PLC rests upon the four pillars of mission, vision, values, and goals. A PLC begins by exploring these questions: Why do we exist, or what is our mission? What must our school become to accomplish our vision? How must we behave—what values must we demonstrate—to achieve our vision? And how we will mark our progress toward our goals? While the PLC process is often a campus-based process, Denton ISD took the lead in embracing it to drive the district mission, vision, values, and goals.
To answer the first question, Denton ISD embraced the power of social media (i.e. Facebook Twitter, YouTube, etc.) and rebranded its mission using feedback from its stakeholders. Using crowdsourcing, a concept embedded in the mission statement, the district involved contributors from all over the world to create its logo. In determining its values, DISD used the power of technology to reach out to 30,000 members of its community. What followed was a set of values the district used to develop an alternative community accountability report (in addition to the state ratings system based on standardized assessment, the lowest rated community value). The interactive report not only reflects the community’s values, but drives the district goal setting process.
How did the district do it? How did the district do it with a ZERO budget? Find out in this session led by Chris Shade, the Coordinator of District Improvement and Innovation.
Think about how much longer the current model of education can sustain itself. The industrialized model of education is nearing its end. Is this frightening or exciting? It’s no more fearful than how the farmers must’ve felt when leaving the fields for the factory. And look how that turned out. America became the world’s most prosperous nation. We are on the cusp of another breakthrough, but it requires another seismic shift in thought.
Play with these ideas and come prepared to stretch your thoughts and challenge assumptions, while pondering some of the biggest questions facing the future of education.

Education as we know it is in its final days. Are these scary or exciting times? To me, it's the latter as I believe we are entering a new age and the change is no more frightening than how the farmers must've felt when people left the fields for the factories. In the days ahead, we must challenge not only the status quo, but the foundation structures that have been a part of our operating system for well over 150 years. These times call for bold leaders. Join me moving into the unknown.
This presentation is designed for DOI campus reps and principals to share with their campuses. In addition to sharing the presentation, DOI members serve as the note taker on the DOI Barriers and Innovative Ideas Google Docs spreadsheet during the campus discussions.
The PowerPoint presentation identifies the external barriers identified thus far including a few videos explaining the rationale for each exemption. The idea of the campus discussion is NOT to discuss these barriers further or offer solutions, but to A) share these as examples of barriers and to B) collect additional, unidentified barriers to 1) teaching and learning, 2) student opportunities, 3) school culture and climate, and 4) growth and management.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
