Program areas at Bay Education Fund
South San Francisco: In close partnership with South San Francisco Unified School District and community leaders, crafted a comprehensive strategy to make the communitys student vision a reality. The board adopted this strategy with enthusiastic support from the community, and the district has aligned its goals, budget, and staffing resources to the plan. We continue supporting the strategic plans goals through capacity building and partnerships with best-in-class providers who are transforming instruction to be high-quality and student-centered. We continued to train and support family leaders who provided critical input to the strategic plan.
Cambiar Fellowship: In partnership with Cambiar Education, we launched a fellowship for 19 school district leaders in the Bay Area. This leaders met throughout the year to deepen their understanding of best practices, solve problems of practice together, and strengthen relationships across the Bay.
Ravenswood: Building on the Ravenswood Learner Profile, which engaged over 1,100 students, families, educators, and community leaders to set a unified vision for students, we supported the development of a Community Action Plan, which translated the vision into clear goals and areas for focused improvement. Additionally, over 50 family members participated in our leadership fellowship to deepen their understanding of achievement and opportunity gaps, how school systems work, research about effective schools, and what students need to thrive.
Program Development: We continue to evaluate and codify our work to effectively share learnings with others. Weve documented lessons learned and how theyve improved our practices.
San Mateo-Foster City:We launched our third partnership with the San Mateo Foster City School District. To prepare for this, we spoke with over 70 community leaders to ensure they bought into our approach and learn about what they want to see for their students and schools.
