How did PBC schools fare?<\/b><\/p>\n

My school, North Grade K\u20118, has <\/span>earned back its A school grade<\/span><\/a> from the State of Flori\u00adda!  You might think this is cause for us to cel\u00ade\u00adbrate at North Grade, and many are \u2014 right\u00adly. They\u2019ve earned it! But I\u2019m not join\u00ading in.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those of you in school sys\u00adtems that don\u2019t use let\u00adter school grades to deter\u00admine fund\u00ading, this might not seem like a big deal. But for us, it is. And while we are hap\u00adpy that North Grade has regained its A, we are upset for our hard\u00adwork\u00ading, ded\u00adi\u00adcat\u00aded col\u00adleagues whose schools didn\u2019t get that same letter. <\/span><\/p>\n

North Grade was an A school for almost a decade when the test changed from the FCAT to the FSA \u2013 all of the sud\u00adden we received a C school grade The only thing that changed was the hoops we had to jump through. <\/span><\/p>\n

Today, we are the only pub\u00adlic school in our small Flori\u00adda city to earn a high\u00ader than a D school grade. You know what? We\u2019re not <\/span>that much bet\u00adter<\/b> than the oth\u00ader schools. <\/span><\/p>\n

My friends and col\u00adleagues all over town work as hard, plan as well, care as much, know as much, study and wor\u00adry as hard as we do at North Grade. But today they\u2019re find\u00ading out that all their hard work and effort and care and love and sweat and tears is for a grade that doesn\u2019t reflect any of that. These grades affect <\/span>THEIR<\/b> social-emo\u00adtion\u00adal health<\/span><\/a>. And that all rolls down to affect the stu\u00addents. It\u2019s hard to learn in a mis\u00ader\u00adable school lack\u00ading in play, fun and joy.<\/span><\/p>\n

School suc\u00adcess is much more than stan\u00addard\u00adized test grades. We need to col\u00adlect and ana\u00adlyze what Shane Safir and Jami\u00adla Dugan call <\/span>Street Data<\/span><\/i><\/a> to find out what <\/span>tru\u00adly<\/b> mat\u00adters in the qual\u00adi\u00adty of edu\u00adca\u00adtion at a school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Play and fun are inte\u00adgral to suc\u00adcess\u00adful learn\u00ading<\/span><\/a>, and it\u2019s hard for demor\u00adal\u00adized teach\u00aders to inte\u00adgrate those into their days. As edu\u00adca\u00adtors, we need to push for changes in how suc\u00adcess is mea\u00adsured so we can help every stu\u00addent achieve.<\/span><\/p>\n
