Free Webinar: Overcoming the Odds: Getting Every Student to College (YES Prep Shares Its Success Story) - June 18 2 to 3 PM ET

Overcoming the Odds: Getting Every Student to College (YES Prep Shares Its Success Story)

YES Prep Public Schools is a system of 11 secondary schools in Houston, where 95 percent of the students are Hispanic or African-American; 80 percent are from low-income families; and more than 90 percent will be the first generation in their families to go to college. Defying the odds, 100 percent of YES seniors are accepted into a four-year college.

YES Prep won the 2012 Broad Prize for Public Charter Schools, after a panel of national education experts named YES Prep the best among the nation’s 20 largest urban charter-management organizations in closing achievement gaps, graduating its students, and preparing them for college.

YES recently launched an innovative partnership with neighboring Aldine Independent School District. What started as an opportunity to share excess classroom space with the growing YES network, has become a genuine partnership between traditional and charter school educators.

Join a webinar discussion on June 18, 2013, at 2 p.m. ET, as YES Prep president Jason Bernal, Aldine Superintendent Wanda Bamberg and national education researcher Shelley Billig discuss YES Prep’s success and the strategies behind their new partnership with Aldine Independent School District.

Jason Bernal, president, YES Prep Public Schools, Texas

Shelley H. Billig, Ph.D., vice president, RMC Research Corporation

This webinar will be moderated by Veronica Davey of The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
