    Hudson City Schools' Journey to Cultural Proficiency: A Shared Vision of Belonging

    This week, we’re talking with our colleagues in Hudson City Schools about their work on educational equity. For those who don’t focus on this regularly, here’s how the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce defined it back in 2020: Each child has access to relevant and challenging academic experiences and educational resources necessary for success across race, gender, ethnicity, language, disability, family background and income. Like some of our other topics for this season, having a focus on educational equity in and of itself is not necessarily an innovation - many districts have stepped up to tackle this challenge. We are excited to showcase the work of Hudson City Schools because we have been impressed with some of the creative things they have done to learn, listen, and truly center educational equity in some of the district’s basic functions.  About Our Guests: Kelly Kempf, Director of Pupil Services and Nyree Wilkerson, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Coordinator, Hudson City Schools Additional Resources: Hudson High School's You Belong student voice video (7min) Belonging Through a Culture of Dignity: The Keys to Successful Equity Implementation (book) Guiding principals for language/equity in RTI: East Woods Elementary McDowell Elementary

    How Can AI Make Us Better Educational Leaders? (with Corey Hoynacke, Summit ESC)

    In this episode, we are going to talk about one of the biggest innovations in the world right now, artificial intelligence or AI. We're sure this isn't the first time you're hearing of it or consider how it can be applied in an educational setting. Much of what is being discussed about AI in education is, of course, focused on its teaching and learning applications… which makes sense, given our core mission as educators. In this episode, we take a different approach and explore how AI can be used by administrators to help them be more effective and innovative in their leadership capacities.

    A Caffeinated Community Partnership In Green Local Schools (and Beyond!)

    In this week's episode, Michelle Smith and Heidi Kerchenski from our team are talking with colleagues in Green Local Schools about an extremely creative and impactful partnership they have developed with the Starbucks Coffee location in their community.  What started as Starbuck's general interest in supporting the local district has grown into a robust partnership in so many innovative ways, including recognizing staff members doing outstanding work in PBIS and highlighting students that exemplify the Safe, Kind, and Responsible expectations of the district. So if you don’t have a cup of coffee in your hand - maybe pause this and get one before listening. Co-Hosts: Michelle Smith and Heidi Kerchenski, SST8 consultants Guests: Erica Bauer, District PBIS Coordinator, Green Local Schools; Jaymz Keller, Starbucks Coffee, Green Ohio

    Aligned, Consistent, and Solution-Focused: Akron Public Schools' Districtwide PBIS

    This week, we are discussing the many strategies utilized in Akron Public Schools to create consistency and high-fidelity implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (otherwise known as PBIS). Nearly every district we work with, of every size, situation, and location, finds that it is extremely challenging to get all buildings doing the same thing - or at least meeting district non-negotiables that keep everyone aligned to the same set of priorities. And of all the districts are who making the shift to a district-wide focus, only one in Region 8 has a whopping 47 buildings to coordinate, and that is Akron Public Schools. Today, we're talking with Nicole Hassan, APS Coordinator of School Climate, and Taylor Hair, APS District Instructional Specialist, about the many creative strategies their district uses to make this happen.

    Each Child on Track: In Woodridge and Everywhere!

    In this episode, we’ll shine the spotlight on the work of Woodridge Local Schools in Summit County. SST8 has had the great privilege of partnering with Woodridge Local on the development of Early Warning Systems to increase graduation and reduce dropout, through a state project called Each Child on Track. Using a tiered model, the Woodridge team is working across all corners of the district to develop preventative and integrated supports that address all of the risk factors for failure to graduate. Co-Hosts: Mike Kaschak and Helen Brophy, SST8 Educational Consultants Guests: N’ecole Ast, Superintendent; Joel Morgan, Assistant Superintendent and Director of Academic Services, and Caitlyn Sabo, Director of Pupil Services.

    Early Literacy Magic in Barberton Preschool

    Today we’re interviewing Barberton Preschool (BPS) and learning how they make magic happen with our youngest readers. As one of only two districts in our region taking part in Ohio’s Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant, BPS was able to identify what was working well: collaboration, culture, leadership and then use the CLSD resources to build upon those areas while also strengthening areas that may not have been as strong. BPS has been able to build their understanding of structured literacy with high-quality professional development, successful family engagement programs and resources for classrooms. Co-Host: Pam Kennedy, SST8 Regional Literacy Specialist Guests: Sheila McGhee, Director Barberton Preschool; Raetina Giovanini, Intervention Specialist

    Getting to the Heart of Attendance Work (with Springfield Local Schools)

    Today, as we continue to delve into the huge priority of chronic absenteeism, we want to shine the spotlight on Springfield Local Schools in Region 8. Springfield is a district just outside of Akron that had a huge hill to climb in terms of increasing student attendance, with more than 4 in 10 students chronically absent (meaning they were absent for at least 10% of school days) in 2021-2022. By working systematically through the Ohio Improvement Process and systemically across their entire district, Springfield saw stunning improvement in their chronic absenteeism rate in just one year. SST8’s Frank Gant talks with Michelle Warner and Todd Lovell, two administrators from Springfield Jr/Sr High about the MANY things they did as a district and a building to make this happen. You'll quickly learn that data and decision rules aren't enough - building stronger relationships with students and families is at the heart of attendance work as well.
