Editor's Notes
- #6: This institute is a about leadership. It is about connections, celebration, change and transformation. When I think back on the past 6 weeks- the period of time that we have had to plan the Institute-I am reminded of several events that link to these 4 important concepts. Leadership. We had the privilege to honor one of our greatest leaders of all time, Martin Luther King, as well as all of the presidents that have served our country. Change: We just welcomed in the beginning of the Chinese New Year. Connections- we celebrated Valentines day a time to connect with special and important people in our lives Transformationswe saw a Team win the Super Bowl-a team that appeared washed out in week three of the NFL season and whose decades of success were deemed by many as over. We saw our landscape transformed in just three weeks with record snowfall amounts, rendering even the most familiar of sites unrecognizable. Leadership, change, transformation and connections are not only linked to special events, they part of our daily lives and we have placed them right at the forefront of each of the 4 Institute sessions. Lets take a minute to preview how the four sessions connect and build on one another.
- #7: Day One introduces the Birth to Grade Three context and movement. Day Two grounds the Agenda into existing Massachusetts initiatives from both a policy and advocacy perspective. Day Three is anchored in needs assessment, action planning and implementation of the Birth to Grade Three approach. Day Four begins with assessment policy and specifically how Birth to Grade Three assessment works and links to standards and instruction. In the afternoon, the lens opens on families, their roles and decision making power in moving the agenda forward and culminates with a focus on child outcomes.
- #8: The research and our knowledge of how the brain develops in the early years is foundational to the work we are doing. Children need to develop lots of connections and relationships early in life. Interactions with others and with environments are essential. In sum, the first five years of life lay the foundation for language, academic, social and emotional development.
- #13: Grade Three Academic and Social Emotional Proficiency is the goal. Not to say we ever reach social emotional proficiency. Aligning and improving services at three stages. Great concept. But also a bit overwhelming. Examples. And way to chunk the work.
