I think at the state level, a strong communications push to open the window into NC Public Schools would be effective in influencing public opinion and countering detrimental narratives that thwart school funding efforts - communications that highlight the professionalism of the teaching profession (education, training, ongoing development, PLCs, data analysis and intervention development, lesson planning, etc.), that celebrate the power of access and opportunity for students in public schools, the community/ecosystem that thrives when more stakeholders (nonprofits, families, businesses, etc) participate together in and with public schools.

Challenge: Businesses want to see a Return on Investment. To truly get buy-in, educators must begin to understand what that means to them and start working together. Our language as educators needs to change when we are engaging outside the education world.

Another book I would recommend is Books Adrift by Leonard Sax and his big idea is single gender schools especially for boys with educators trained in educating boys. One single gender school per district would be amazing!

My other big idea would be to build high schools next to or within walking distance to manufacturers. We have a whole row of manufacturers in Union County, but no schools on the same street and transportation to their businesses is often a barrier for students to do apprenticeships during the day

We are committed to continuing our innovation grants for teachers and funding their big ideas. We like the equation Teacher Ideas + Community Investment = Immeasurable Impact for children.

We also made the decision a few years ago to shift all of our scholarships to only students going into the field of education.
