Going back to school in the Fall can be an exciting time of year for students and educators where they can look forward to new experiences. It can also challenge the school community with unknowns that they have to navigate. The school community can implement the HOPE framework, a strength-based model focused on the key types of positive childhood experiences (PCEs), into their return-to-school preparation to ensure that their schools provide a safe and supportive learning experience. https://buff.ly/3yvF525

The Responsive Classroom Approach, developed by Northeast Foundation for Children (NEFC), aims to create nurturing school communities where social and academic learning are seamlessly integrated.

School hunt season is upon us once again! As families start exploring options for their children's education, I want to resurface a helpful resource I created years ago. Finding the right school is about so much more than just academic standards and test scores. It's about ensuring your child thrives in an environment that nurtures their unique talents, interests, and needs. That's why I put together these 8 thought-provoking questions. These questions are designed to spark deeper conversations and help you evaluate whether a school or learning community is truly the best fit for your whole child—intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Don't worry, these aren't meant to be "gotcha" questions to put schools on the defensive. As someone who champions homeschooling, I'm an advocate for finding the ideal learning path for every child, whether that's at home, in a traditional school, or somewhere in between. If you're on the school hunt and are curious whether these questions will resonate with you, you can find the document below. Wishing you all the best in finding that perfect educational fit!

How do we improve public education? Well, you start here- Adequate funding for all schools, especially those in underserved areas, is essential for providing crucial resources and modern facilities. Supporting educators through training and professional development is key to enhancing classroom effectiveness. Updating the curriculum to encompass diverse perspectives and practical skills can significantly boost student engagement and foster critical thinking. Community involvement, involving parents and local organizations in school governance, is pivotal in creating a supportive environment for students and educators alike. By addressing these crucial aspects, we can establish a more effective and fair public school system that equips all students for future success.
