Welcome back to school, and welcome back
to Connections! I hope this newsletter,
Update: BTU Contract which will be emailed to all staff every
month, will help resolve a common complaint
I have heard within BPS: that those of us at
Court Street should work harder to share
The Acceleration Agenda information with employees around the
Dashboard school system. Those of you who have been
with us for more than a few years might
remember the printed version of Connections, which was phased out in 2004.
Focus on English Language With help from Gretchen O'Neill and Lee McGuire in our Communications Office,
Learners we have refreshed and rebooted the newsletter in this new electronic format.
Our mission is to provide you with honest insight into the challenges that face
our staff and our students - and also to celebrate the successes that arise in our
classrooms every day. Send your news and suggestions; we'd love to hear from
Building Improvements
you.

Two Schools Launch IB Model This summer Massachusetts won the federal "Race to the Top"competition.
While this validates my belief that our students have access to some of the very
best public schools in the world, unfortunately the designation does not come
with enough money to put off some difficult budgetary decisions. The same is
Three Cheers true for a Congressional jobs bill which the President signed last month. Taken
together, the RTT funds and the federal jobs package will add less than $20
million to our FY12 budget.
Good-bye to Retirees
While this is very welcome, our budget shortfall next year is projected to be
much higher. There are two principal reasons: health care costs continue to rise
nearly 9% a year; and federal stimulus dollars are running out. These changes
Resources for Schools and
alone will have a $30 million impact next year, but we must also factor in the
Educators
step increases and higher transportation costs that we expect to incur as well. I
promise to keep you updated as we prepare our plans for FY12.

This fall, we welcome 350 new teachers to the BPS team. Please reach out and
support them as they help shape our district and achieve success with our
children. This is the year that we must all pull together and prove to Boston's
parents and children that BPS is the right choice. We are part of the solution,

MESSAGE FROM BILL HORWATH, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT FOR HUMAN

RESOURCES

Effective October 1st, I will be leaving the Boston Public Schools. My family and
I are relocating to Houston, TX to be closer to my wife's family. I'll be working
for the Houston Independent School District overseeing performance
management and their performance pay system. While I am excited for the new
challenge, it is certainly bittersweet. I want to thank you all, especially school
leaders, for your support and partnership over the five-and-a-half years I have
spent here at BPS. With your partnership, we have made tremendous strides in
transforming the human capital of this system. I have a tremendous amount of
respect and appreciation for all of the hard-working individuals in BPS, and I
wish you the best of luck going forward.

Over the coming weeks, I will be working with Craig Chin, Assistant Chief
Operating Officer, as he transitions to head Human Resources on an interim
basis.

Thank you and I look forward to staying in touch.

Big Strides for BPS on MCAS

BPS students outpaced state growth on the spring MCAS Math tests. In many
cases, our scores more than doubled the statewide growth numbers. Results for
ELA also show progress almost across the board. However, in Grade 10, ELA
scores showed a dip while Math scores held steady.

Several Boston schools are exiting NCLB accountability status, having made AYP
for two consecutive years: Gardner Pilot Academy, Urban Science Academy,
Perkins Elementary, and Lee Elementary.

An additional 12 schools with an accountability status met all their AYP targets
in both ELA and Math in 2010: Another Course to College, Adams Elementary,
Alighieri Elementary, Ellison/Parks Early Education School, Farragut Elementary,
Lyndon K-8, Manning Elementary, New Mission High, Otis Elementary, Philbrick
Elementary, Quincy Upper, and Warren/Prescott K-8. These schools will exit
their NCLB accountability status if they make AYP in 2011.

In our Turnaround Schools, Trotter Elementary showed double-digit growth in

its ELA Composite Performance Index (CPI). Orchard Gardens K-8 school also
saw double-digit CPI growth in math as did Agassiz Elementary, J.F. Kennedy
Elementary and Dever Elementary. Scores at Blackstone Elementary are not yet
being released. In August, district officials noticed an anomaly in the
preliminary scores. Superintendent Johnson has asked the Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to work with BPS staff to review
the data before it is released.

MCAS results are available on the DESE website.

Summer School
This summer, 1,957 K-grade 9 students
participated in the Summer Scholars program in
34 schools across the city. In addition to 4 hours of
academic tutoring in ELA and math, students
received 2 hours of enrichment activities and
weekly field trips to libraries, museums, the Boston
Harbor Islands (pictured), and other city sites. On
Fridays, ninth graders took visual/performing arts
courses at Boston Arts Academy. Ninety-two
percent of attendees were promoted to the next
grade.

In addition, more than 2,000 students completed four-week "English

Language Learner Summer Enrichment Academies," a first-of-its-kind BPS
program to help children with limited English skills prepare for the upcoming
school year.

Update: BTU Contract

The contract between BPS and the Boston Teachers Union expired on August
31, and negotiations for a new contract are underway. BPS is asking for four
main changes:

• An easier-to-follow evaluation system that is linked to student growth

data and in-class observations
• Additional class time for students and preparation time for teachers
• A pay-for-excellence plan that rewards teams of staff for student
performance
• Flexibilities around staffing and schedules.

Many of these reforms are already in place at the 12 Turnaround Schools. Learn
more here.

How are we doing? Check the dashboard.

No, your car won't tell you - but the Acceleration Agenda Dashboard will. It's a
cool new interactive tool to help teachers and parents see how BPS is doing
relative to our major goals and initiatives, such as improving performance on
MCAS and closing achievement gaps.

For now, it displays only district-wide data as we receive it. We will roll out
school-by-school data later this year.

Focus on English Language

Learners

According to recent testing data, 28 percent of

BPS students have trouble speaking and
understanding English, and nearly 40 percent
speak a language other than English at home. In
fact, this group is our fastest growing
demographic.
Last year, the School Committee established an ELL Task Force, and this
summer the US Department of Justice worked with BPS to ensure every ELL
student is getting support. Since January, more than 2,000 teachers have
started category training, and this fall, principals and headmasters are being
required to develop individual instruction plans for every student identified as
an English Language Learner.

Building Improvements,
Inside & Out

While school was out, the work crews were in: The
city's Public Facilities Department (PFD) oversaw
$7.7M's worth of facilities improvements at 11
schools:

• O'Bryant School of Math & Science: 5

spectacular new science labs (pictured),
added lab storage space, and new windows installed in 3 previously
windowless labs
• Condon, Russell and Mendell: outdoor classrooms
• Mather, Mozart and Perry: full campus schoolyard upgrades with
play equipment and outdoor classrooms
• Madison Park: new fire alarm and PA system (though we aren't
convinced Chuck McAfee really needs a PA system)
• Boston Latin School, Winthrop and Boston Day & Evening
Academy (Wheatley building): various internal and external repairs
and improvements

Two Schools Launch IB Model

Snowden International School at Copley and

Quincy Upper School have been designated
International Baccalaureate world schools. Students at both schools will spend
their junior and senior years studying college-level material in six, two-year
long courses. They'll also work on substantive research papers, integrative
thinking, and achieving goals they set to become people of creativity, action and
service.

IB is a world-renowned non-profit organization known for rigorous standards

and pedagogical leadership. IB currently works with 857,000 students in 3,040
schools in 139 countries. There are now only 13 IB programs in Massachusetts.

EdVestors Concept Papers

School Improvement Initiatives in
Boston
Deadline: Tuesday, October 19th at
3:00 pm

EdVestors is pleased to issue a Call for

Concept Papers for school improvement initiatives to drive change in Boston
schools. With a single, three-page concept paper, applicants can apply for
consideration for a two-year grant for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years.
This begins the selection process for inclusion as a grantee in EdVestors 2011
Investment Portfolio, including those invited to present at the annual Urban
Education Investment Showcase. Semifinalists will be invited to submit full
proposals due in early January 2011. EdVestors plans to award up to 10 two-
year grants of about $50,000 per year. Grant awards will be announced in June
2011.

Focus of this Call for Concept Papers: School-based capacity-building initiatives

aimed at strengthening teaching and learning in urban schools, with a focus on
improving student academic outcomes through professional development,
classroom instruction, or student support programs.
 General Eligibility: Proposed initiatives may involve one or more schools in
Boston, Massachusetts. Proposals may be led by the schools themselves, district
offices, or by nonprofit organizations working in close collaboration with one or
more school partners. Schools may be public (district, pilot or charter),
independent or private schools serving a significant percentage (at least 50%)
of students from low-income families in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12.

Aim for This Field Trip Grant

Registration's open for the Target Field Trip Grants program. Target will
award 5,000 grants of $700 each to schools for the upcoming school year.
Teachers can use a grant to fund a school field trip that connects their
curriculum to out-of-school experiences. Apply any time before September 30,
2010.

Quest Adventures Educator's Outreach

Are you looking for a transformative experience for your students? One of the
most effective ways for students to build confidence, leadership skills, and more
engagement in your curriculum is through participating in a national or
international service learning trip.

If you would like to learn more about how to organize a trip with your
colleagues and students, Quest Adventures will lead you through the process.
You will also learn about the application process to receive a $5,000 support
grant.

Please join other teachers at our 3rd annual Quest Adventures Educator's
Outreach meeting on Wednesday, September 29, 4:30-5:30 pm in the Curley
Upper School library.

For more information and/or to RSVP, please contact Claudia Bell at 617-515-
0492 or send an email.
