The Calstate University system has invested in a Black Student Success Initiative. It is an important effort to support the retention and graduation of Black students... and the success of Black faculty and staff in the CSU system. https://lnkd.in/g8viPiAG At San Francisco State University, we have assembled a work group from all areas of campus to help as we align our campus work with the CSU system initiative. Our campus focus is on 3 of the 13 recommendations (note, each campus asked to focus on 3 areas, not all 13 report recommendations): 1) Early outreach to Black K-12 students; 2) Retention of currently-enrolled Black students, and; 3) Black faculty and staff success.

Over the last five years, Region 16 Comprehensive Center has championed an initiative to get WA educators and education leaders through the University of Washington Native Education Certificate Program. This cohort learning model can create important changes across the state's entire education system. After participating in the program, one ESD leader shared, “A lot of what will work to support Native students in the classroom, things like place-based learning and integration of content tied to their environment and lived experience, these strategies also work for other students. ...these shifts really help [all students] to feel engaged in the content, as though they are decision-makers, as though they are bearers of knowledge, and as though their own experiences outside of the classroom have value and meaning in that classroom experience.” Creating positive educational experiences for Native (and non-Native students), where they feel truly seen and valued is how we can keep students engaged and growing toward their best future selves.

San Jose State University's Elementary Math Teacher Summer Institute Day 3. Our TK-Grade 2 teachers explored Data Science, Social Justice, and math, drawing on perspectives from the very progressive 2023 California Math Framework. Short data talks for kids (!) from Youcubed, data science lessons from the Mindset Math books (!!), and social justice-driven data science lessons from the Early Elementary SJ Math Lessons book (!!!) put to work the framework's three drivers of mathematical investigations - understand and explain, predict, and affect - and equity/engagement strategies for all students. A teacher-participant captures what she learned during the session in the following way: "There are different subjects that can be touchy to talk in class with students. Like food insecurity. However, they can be done when properly navigated and have the appropriate contextual information."

It’s the start of another record-breaking year at Oregon State University! Here are the quick facts: Oregon State has produced 28 consecutive years of fall-over-fall enrollment growth, an increase unparalleled by any of the other 108 Public Research 1 universities in the U.S., according to an analysis by my colleague Jon Boeckenstedt. Enrollment at Oregon State has reached a record high, nearing 38,000 students this fall. Oregon State University Ecampus is once again a major driver of Oregon State’s enrollment growth, with a 6.6% increase over last fall to reach a total of 11,600 students. That is a 65% increase from five years ago. We're proud that we create greater access to higher education for learners worldwide. Read more about these milestones » beav.es/ptk

Did you know that in November 2023, 66% of California college students reported being food insecure? Reflecting on my first year of college, I remember surviving on 🍜 instant noodles, 🥪 PBJ sandwiches, and leftover food from the 🥕 restaurant where I worked to pay for tuition. My academic performance often suffered because I wasn't well-nourished. Back then, either programs like CalFresh didn't exist, or they weren't well-promoted. I can't overstate how crucial food security is for a student's mental, emotional, and academic well-being. CalFresh provides essential financial assistance for groceries, alleviating food insecurity and allowing students to focus on their studies. 🏫 If you're a college student who could benefit from CalFresh or know someone who is, don't miss this opportunity. This training session will help you understand how to navigate CalFresh eligibility. 🍎 #HungerFreeSD #CalFresh #CollegeStudents #backtoschool
