News from the School Reform Initiative – December 9, 2020

Thank You for Making #GivingTuesday2020 a Success

Last Tuesday the SRI community came together to give almost $2,000 to support SRI’s mission and colleagues. Money raised will go towards providing scholarships to educators offering them access to transformational professional development in a reflective learning community. Your donations will also support SRI to continue sharing protocols and other resources on our website.

You can still help us continue our commitment to educational equity and excellence.

Graduate Students in Search of SRI Colleagues!

If you are a graduate student interested in researching teacher collaborative practices, reflective practice, or any subset of SRI’s work please consider joining us. We are hoping to use this group to provide feedback on research designs and proposals, make meaning out of data together, point to relevant literature, or anything that you might find useful to your studies. If this sounds like just what you’ve been looking for, please contact Gena Merliss, emerliss@u.rochester.edu and Annie Leonard, anniemleona@gmail.com.


#PowerofCommunity

Our goal for 2020 is to help educators remember why they became educators, and to do whatever we can to not only help them to ‘feel’ supported, but to actually ‘be’ supported, and work together to create the schools our students deserve. I hope you will join me and continue to support SRI!

SRI is fiercely committed to educational equity and excellence, and we cannot do this work without your support!

Thank you for your commitment to students, families and communities!
