A Thought for Parents: Happy Children and the Concept of Summerhill School As parents, we often wrestle with questions about how best to educate our children. We seek environments that not only foster academic excellence but also nurture creativity, emotional well-being, and individuality. One educational philosophy that invites us to think deeply about these concerns is that of A.S. Neill’s Summerhill School. Founded in 1921, this British institution remains a revolutionary concept even today, and it challenges traditional views on schooling, authority, and childhood freedom. So what can we learn from it, and is it a model that could work for your child? Keep Reading → https://lnkd.in/gDJuy5c5

The Castro Valley Unified School District is committed to providing all students in each of our 15 schools with a high-quality education that equips them for success in today’s workforce. To ensure that our facilities meet current and future needs, the District has embarked on a comprehensive Facilities Master Planning (FMP) process that includes strong community engagement to identify and address specific facility needs at each of our schools. On February 25, 2016, the CVUSD Board of Education approved the Facilities Master Plan, which details the necessary improvements across our sites. This plan can be viewed in its entirety online. After evaluating available funding, it was determined that an additional $123 million would be required to fulfill the outlined needs, which included enhancements in health and safety, heating and air conditioning, lighting, roofing, fields, playgrounds, classrooms, multipurpose rooms, and increased access for the community. In response, the District put forth Bond Measure G, a General Obligation Bond passed by Castro Valley voters on June 7, 2016. This bond is valued at $123 million and directly funds these critical improvements. To maintain transparency and accountability, the Board of Education appointed 12 seats on the Bond Measure G Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC), consisting of seven members and five alternates, during the September 22, 2016 board meeting. The CBOC is responsible for informing the public and the Board on the spending of bond revenues, ensuring alignment with both voter intentions and legal requirements. The Committee actively monitors bond-related activities, providing guidance on bond expenditures and making sure funds are used as promised. In a message to the Committee, Jo A.S. Loss, then Vice President of the Board, emphasized the importance of the Committee’s work, acknowledging the impact of Measure G as the largest bond approved in Castro Valley and the significant role it plays in enhancing facilities and technology for our students and staff. https://lnkd.in/gN8uZcS3

I’ve had such an incredible crash course in the power, possibility and urgency of inclusive R and D for education. One of the most striking things I’ve learned since I joined Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF) Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF) is that educators often find ourselves stuck between competing incentive structures. On one hand there is an incredible academic network whose ideas, research and knowledge is essential but whose incentives are often geared towards publication and knowledge generation. And on the other pole is tech enabled tools and companies - which often provide essential services but whose incentives are tied to scale and engagement. While these two are essential to the future of education they are also insufficient. The Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF) Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF) is building a new incentive architecture in which incredible partners like Andres Bustamante and Kreshnik Begolli and their incredible team can find the time, space and support to ask different questions and find new ways to the answers. This is essential to the future of education and they are a headlight in the work of what doing things differently might look like.
