Building Strong School-to-Community Partnerships to Support Student-Centered Learning
2020-06-10 12:00 - 13:00 | Online Webinar
Strong family-school-community partnerships are critical when transitioning to student-centered learning. The relationship between the school and the community can strengthen, support, and transform the learning process for students. Through the Future Ready Schools®(FRS) framework, specifically the community partnerships gear, schools and districts are encouraged to create formal and informal connections with families, local businesses, and organizations to advance the development of their student-centered learning initiative. It is important for schools to embrace their role as a pivotal component of the community and develop a shared vision with all stakeholders, including partners that operate outside of the school walls. During this time when student learning is remote, these relationships are even more important as students often do not have the same resources at home as they do when in school. Now is the time to revive community partnerships to play a more active role in the education of students.
In this webinar, our guests Dr. Anthony Jackson and Michael Abensour will share two perspectives on creating and participating in school-to-community partnerships for student-centered learning, specifically as they relate to providing greater access to learning resources. From developing interest to sustaining relationships, these leaders will describe what it takes to generate buy-in from educators and the community to work toward a mutual goal.
Guests will discuss the following topics:

the importance of school-to-community partnerships;
the role of community organizations in addressing digital equity;
integrated student services and learning environments outside of school;
generating buy-in among local nonprofit organizations and businesses; and
creating sustainable relationships with families and communities.

Guests

Anthony Jackson, EdD, Superintendent, Vance County Schools (NC)
Michael Abensour, Executive Director, Kramden Institute (@Kramden)
Avril Smart Goggans, PhD, Research and Engagement Manager for Future Ready Schools®, Alliance for Excellent Education (moderator) (@DrAvrilSmart)

This webinar is a great opportunity to learn from the expertise of leaders who successfully navigate their roles to support partnerships with schools and families.

Parents and Teachers Speak Out on Learning During COVID-19
2021-06-17 15:00 - 16:00
As part of its $22 million Communities of Excellence federal Charter School Program (CSP) grant, Bluum promised to engage parents and stakeholders through focus groups and surveys over the 5-year grant term.
To lead this work we contracted with the highly-respected FDR Group to give “voice to the stakeholders and communities where charter schools have opened or expanded under the CSP grant.” We wanted to know things like how did the school leaders hold up according to teachers? Will parents be bringing their kids back next year? Have teachers been so overwhelmed that they’re leaving the profession? Are kids learning?
Between March 31 and May 4, 2021, the FDR Group surveyed 322 teachers and 1,489 parents across 12 CSP funded public charter schools in Idaho. Collectively, these schools enrolled 6,177 students in 2021, and they are located across the state in rural, suburban and urban communities.
As both the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years were impacted by COVID-19, and subsequent school closures, the finding for this period include questions around COVID-19 and the response of the schools to it.
Join us for an in-depth look at the findings from the FDR Group, some of which include:

About a quarter of parents think the pandemic has had a major impact on their child’s emotional well-being and most think there would be at least a moderate benefit to some counseling.
75% of parents report that “My child is far more likely to lose focus when learning virtually.”
61% of parents say that when COVID-19 subsides, “it would be best for schools to restore the policies and teaching methods of the past as quickly as possible;” only 26% say “it would be best for schools to keep many of the new policies and teaching methods they adopted during the pandemic.”
Among those who taught virtually this year, 49% described the professional development that was provided by their school on teaching in a virtual environment as a “crash course,” 36% described it as “thorough, with ongoing support and resources throughout the school year.”
About one in three teachers think a summer school program to help students who need to catch up on lost learning due to COVID-19 is “critically needed” (35%); 45% say “it would be nice to offer,” but not “critical,” and 13% say “it would be nice to offer, but not critical,” and 13% say “it is unnecessary.”
Just 42% of teachers agree with the statement, “Too many of my students will have a hard time catching up when things get back to normal” (10% agree strongly, 32% agree somewhat).

ABOUT FDR GROUP
Over the last seven years the FDR Group has conducted more than 15 focus groups with parents and community members, as well as dozens of individual interviews with charter school leaders and other community leaders across Idaho. Their work extends beyond Bluum in Idaho to include working with Idaho Ed News on their “People’s Perspective” and the “Parents Perspective.” The FDR Group has also worked with the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation on a variety of projects.

Rescheduled: How to Lead in Uncertain and Stressful Times
2021-10-01 09:00 - 16:00 | Future Public School, 511 E 43rd St., Garden City, ID, 83714
PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FROM 8/16 to 10/1, 2021.
The last 16 months have presented school leaders with unprecedented challenges. Both technical challenges –for example, how to arrange spaces and cohorts to meet legal requirements and keep our people safe– and adaptive challenges — for example, how to lead staff so they strive for the best for kids while facing very real challenges themselves. The beginning of the next school year will be no different in terms of presenting both technical challenges and adaptive leadership challenges. This workshop will prepare school leaders to better respond to both sets of challenges by providing a framework, and practice applying that framework, so that they can be the best, most emotionally intelligent leader they can be.
This leadership development workshop will introduce a cohesive language and universally applicable tool for building adaptive leadership as a school leader. The Noble Story Group’s 5-Square approach operationalizes the concepts of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management from Goleman’s (1995) work on emotional intelligence—and is grounded in personal values. This 5-Square road map will be a blueprint for meeting the mental health needs of school staff and students through the post-covid transition. It may also change the way leaders see themselves and what they believe it means to be a school leader.
The workshop is available free of charge to Idaho school leaders. You can reserve you spot in this training by clicking below.
Please address questions about registration and logistics to Kristen McCarver, and questions about the content of the session or how it might fit with your work to Max Koltuv.

This free professional learning opportunity hosted by Bluum and funded in part by Idaho’s Communities of Excellence Program. This is a competitive public charter school grant program funded under the Congressional Every Students Succeeds Act (ESSA, Public Law 114-95), which reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 (ESEA). $9,850.00 (99%) of this event funded by Federal CSP Grant dollars; $100.00 (1%) of this event funded by Bluum; total cost $9,950.

Together Teacher: Create a Personal Organization System
2021-11-10 16:00 - 18:15
Teachers are coping with unprecedented pressure and strain this year. There is so much to keep organized and it can be hard to manage tasks and time so that they can maintain some balance in their lives. Because of this, Bluum and Teach for America Idaho are partnering to provide teachers with training on how to manage it all and still have a life outside of work. This virtual training is free of charge for your teachers as a thank you for all they do. We hope it can help ease the burden they are carrying.

Leadership in Times of Stress: How to Put People First in the Digital World
2022-05-18 10:00 - 12:00 | Idaho State Capitol Building, Lincoln Auditorium West Wing
Entering our third year of COVID and an ever-growing world of uncertainty from the workforce to war, leadership is harder now than ever before. One thing is certain. Leaders must be more intentional than ever, making sure their cups are full before pouring too much into those around them. Join us May 18th, for a discussion with nationally recognized motivational speaker, entrepreneurial leader, veteran, and author, Mike Erwin. This free event will take place in the Idaho State Capitol’s Lincoln Auditorium, May 18, 2022, from 10am-12pm.
About Mike Erwin
Mike Erwin is an enthusiastic, grateful and optimistic leader who was born and raised in Syracuse, NY. He has dedicated his life to serving the nation and empowering people to build positive relationships—and become more resilient. Mike lives on a 32 acre Homestead outside Fort Bragg, North Carolina, with his wife Genevieve and their 5 children; Eli, Adelaide, Therese, Matthias and Zelie.
Mike is the founder & CEO of The Character & Leadership Center and has worked with companies including Amazon, BD, PWC, and NetApp; Special Forces units; and professional sports teams including the Boston Celtics and the NJ Devils. He is co-author of Lead Yourself First (2017), which focuses on how solitude strengthens people’s character—and their ability to lead with clarity, balance and conviction. He is also co-author of Leadership is a Relationship (2021) which details why leaders who prioritize relationships are more effective.
A 2002 graduate of The U.S. Military Academy at West Point with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics, Mike was commissioned as an Intelligence Officer, serving in three combat tours with the First Cavalry Division and 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne). His service includes deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004-2005—that involved the Battles of Fallujah and Najaf. Mike also deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2006-2007 and 2009. He earned two Bronze Star Medals from these tours.
Following his third deployment, Mike attended the University of Michigan from 2009-2011, where he earned a Master’s degree in positive psychology and leadership under the tutelage of the co-founder of positive psychology, Dr. Chris Peterson. While a graduate student, he founded Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB), a non-profit who is forging America’s leading health and wellness community for veterans. Mike led Team RWB until 2013 before stepping back to focus on his role as board chair. In November 2019, he returned to the Executive Director role where he currently leads the organization’s 232,000 members.
In 2015, Mike co-founded the Positivity Project—an organization with the mission to empower America’s youth to build positive relationships and become their best selves. With 745 partner schools, the organization reaches over 400,000 children daily. He served as CEO for four years and remains involved as a strategic advisor. Mike also serves as the founding board chair for Father Vincent Capodanno High School, a private, independent Catholic school outside Fort Bragg, NC. Community service, character and leadership development are integral to the school’s model, accounting for 30% of students’ GPA.
Mike continues to proudly serve the nation as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves, assigned to the Pentagon in support of the Army Chief of Operations’ office, led by Lieutenant General Jim Rainey.

Info Session: Alternative Certification Program For Charter Teachers
2023-04-03 16:00 - 17:00 | Online Webinar
Join us for a virtual info session to learn about Idaho’s new charter school certification program. A Zoom link will be sent following registration:
Securing excellent teachers for our students is essential to our success and it is harder today than ever. Last year, with support from Bluum and the Idaho Charter School Network, the Legislature and Governor Little empowered charter schools to certify their own teachers in an attempt to expand the pool of quality teachers for Idaho’s public charter school students. For example, schools can now certify paraprofessional staff who have BAs, or career changers from other fields who want to become teachers.
While this law gave charter school leaders great freedom, it also came with significant responsibility to ensure that teachers certified in this way are supported with high-quality induction and ongoing professional development so that they are up to the task of teaching our children.
For the last year, Bluum has provided start-up grant support and technical assistance to Gem Prep in developing a program that will provide charters who opt into it with high-quality professional learning for teachers they wish to certify within their schools. The content is heavily-based on proven practices from Teach Like A Champion and other nationally-renowned models.
Gem Prep will operate the program that Bluum helped design, other Idaho charters will have the opportunity to have their teachers participate alongside those of Gem.
Program Details:

Program kicks off with a 1 Week in-person training, July 17-21.
Monthly 2-hour virtual trainings, 2nd Thursday 4-6 PM.
Schools who participate will also need to provide these teachers with “mentoring” as per the Idaho code; as part of the program, school leaders will receive training on how to meet this mandate.
Participants must already hold a BA or be on pace to complete one by summer 2023.
Tuition is $1,900 for the 1-year program

2024-03-05 16:00 - 17:30 | Online Webinar
This is the first serious re-write of Idaho’s Public Charter School law since the law was first written in the late 1990s. The “Accelerating Public Charter Schools Act” seeks to “reward public charter schools that meet their accountability measures with enhanced autonomy and freedom from regulatory burden.”
Bluum and the Idaho Charter School Network have invited the Idaho Charter School Legal Expert, attorney and friend Chris Yorgason to share what the Accelerating Public Charter Schools Act rewrite means for the state’s public charter schools and their efforts to educate students in the coming months and years.
