PSP believes that in a city as large as Philadelphia, there is not one best or right kind of school. Two hundred forty thousand children need a wide variety of schools from which to choose. The city has numerous examples of high-performing schools, and they span all three primary sectors: charter schools, district schools and private/Catholic schools. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of quality options in all three sectors. More than 35,000 students sit on waiting lists for the city’s best schools—which include private, charter, district magnet, and district neighborhood schools. Our work centers on leveraging philanthropic capital to attract entrepreneurial leadership and overcome inertia and financial and political barriers so that Philadelphia can have more great schools.

Like all cities, Philadelphia has finite resources for K-12 education. PSP believes the route to effectively educating all of the city’s children lies in fomenting and sustaining an educational ecosystem that steers resources toward effective schools, regardless of sector or type of school, so they can grow; increases equity of access to all school choices for families; and utilizes multiple measures of school performance to hold schools accountable for outcomes, thus ensuring support and—if necessary—intervention for struggling schools.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Philadelphia School Partnership (PSP) believes that helping to empower parents to find, choose, and advocate for higher quality schools of all types (district, charter, and private) is a critical part of our strategy to ensure every child in Philadelphia is enrolled in a great school.  We seek to deepen our relationships with partner organizations including school operators, nonprofits, and advocacy groups to empower parents and community members to engage in local education reform efforts. Specifically, we are working to better equip families with information to find and choose great schools for their children.  As part of this work, we have created “GreatPhillySchools,” (GPS) a print and web-based resource giving parents access to data on academics, safety, and more.  The Community Outreach Manager will plan and execute efforts to increase awareness of the website and manage relationships with partner organizations to reach thousands of stakeholders across the city.  The Community Outreach Manager will report to will report to the GreatPhillySchools Director and work closely with the entire time including the Project Manager, Coordinator, and other staff as needed.

President Trump’s budget proposal for FY 2019, released in February, calls for the complete elimination of 21st Century Community Learning Center funding. These funds currently support nearly 10,000 local afterschool and summer programs serving nearly 2 million children all across the nation. The budget proposal also calls for massive cuts to a wide array of other federal funding streams that go to afterschool programs. What does this mean for your program? Your community? And, most importantly, can these budget cuts be stopped?

Join a Q&A with Afterschool Alliance VP of Policy Erik Peterson to hear the latest developments on afterschool funding and the road ahead. Learn about steps you can take now to help prevent cuts to afterschool in your state, learn about how to leverage social media to fight the cuts, and hear what one program director is doing to make sure his members of Congress see firsthand how afterschool is working for kids, families, and the community.

Join her for a jam-packed 60-minute expert discussion of the black, white and grey of legal issues in fundraising. Laura will review federal and state requirements, best practices, and recommendations to help your charity stay in compliance.

This interactive session will provide you with the opportunity to raise specific questions and discuss them with peers.

Latest Strada-Gallup consumer data reveals the more relevant people find their college courses to be in their work and daily lives, the greater their belief that they received a
high-quality education and that it was worth the cost

Strada Education NetworkSM and Gallup today released new findings from the daily Strada-Gallup Education Consumer Survey examining how consumers’ beliefs about the relevance of their postsecondary coursework affects their perceptions about the value and quality of their educational experience as well as their general well-being.

The first report in a three-part series, “From College to Life: Relevance and the Value of Higher Education,” examines perspectives from a nationally representative sample of 78,091 adults, ages 18 to 65, who are currently employed and have taken at least some college courses.

Top findings include:

Relevance influences value and quality. The more relevant people find their courses to be in their work and daily lives, the greater their belief that they received a high-quality education and that it was worth the cost. This pattern holds true for individuals across all walks of life. In fact, consumers who strongly agree their courses are relevant to their careers and lives are:

• 63 percentage points more likely to strongly agree their education was worth the cost.
• 50 percentage points more likely to strongly agree they received a high-quality education.

Relevance is related to well-being. Consumers who strongly agree their courses are relevant to their current careers and lives are 18 percentage points more likely to be “thriving” in their overall sense of well-being.

Relevance predicts quality and value more than other public data used to create college rankings. Relevance scores are more powerful predictors of consumer satisfaction than average SAT/ACT math scores, student loan default rates, average cost of attendance, a measure of alumni income earnings and graduation rates.
