About

In 2004, recent Harvard Graduate School of Education graduates Marci Cornell-Feist and John Maycock began talking to a number of Boston-area charter schools about what they needed to help all their students achieve at the highest levels. What they heard, repeatedly, was teachers’ frustration with the assessments available to them: They weren’t as rigorous as the state summative tests; and results arrived too late for teachers to take action in response. As an article in Education nextdescribes, educators said “they needed better assessments, better data, and help understanding how to use the information…They wanted assessments that would serve as an instructional tool and not another gotcha mechanism to punish teachers.” They also felt isolated, unable to collaborate with or benefit from the perspective of other educators tackling similar challenges.

Courses/Programs offered

event_available Pursuing Equitable Instruction Session This session will provide participants with critical understandings of anti-racism while establishing key connections to equitable instruction and increased student outcomes. The goal of this session is to engage educators in strategic learnings from our anti-racism-focused partnerships and ignite leaders to action as we plan for the year ahead within local school communities.
event_available Engaging Communities In The Work Towards Racial Equity In Education Excellence, equity, and empowerment of students and families require engaging stakeholders in the work toward racial equity in our educational communities. This session will highlight the creation of a multi-generational, multi-racial change team trained in anti-racist practices resulting in connections and conversations for racial healing across differences. In addition, this can lead to the development of anti-racist commitments that can guide the re-evaluation of district policies, procedures, and structures that perpetuate racism. All of this builds a solid foundation for systemic change.
event_available Executive Coaching And Modeling As leaders pursue student empowerment and academic excellence for all, they can encounter resistance that is based in race, power, and privilege. This session helps leaders consider how executive coaching and modeling can develop them toward leading anti-racist development, racial healing and empowerment of educators and students.
