Give the Gift of Education

This fall I introduced you to Amin, a young Black man defying the odds. Thanks to a high school education that provided him with rigorous academics, work-based learning, and access to college courses, Amin graduated prepared to pursue his dreams.

This #GivingTuesday will you donate $25 to the Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed) to support our work to ensure that all students receive the same high-quality education that Amin received?

It’s been sixty-five years since the Supreme Court ruled in Brown vs. Board of Education that “separate but equal” has no place in the field of public education. Yet too many students, particularly those of color and those from low-income families, still do not receive the kinds of opportunities that most of us want for our own children.

With your gift, All4Ed will work with schools and districts to ensure that students like Amin, and other historically underserved young people, receive a high school experience that allows them to identify and build on their strengths and interests and develop the academic knowledge and skills needed to graduate prepared for life success.

Give the gift of education today and help us fulfill the promise of Brown.

With gratitude,
Deborah Delisle
President and CEO
Alliance for Excellent Education

Upcoming Webinar:
Building a Stronger Future for Evidence-Based Improvement in ESSA Implementation

January 28, 2020
2:00 pm – 2:45 pm EST

Panelists
Maria Ferguson, Executive Director, Center on Education Policy
Anne Hyslop, Assistant Director, Policy Development and Government Relations, Alliance for Excellent Education
Seng-Dao Yang Keo, Director, Office of Student and School Supports, Nevada Department of Education
Candice McQueen, Chief Executive Officer, National Institute for Excellence in Teaching
Diane Stark Rentner, Deputy Director, Center on Education Policy

To better understand CEP’s implementation research on the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), including CEP’s latest report A Stronger Future for Evidence-Based School Improvement in ESSA, this webinar will focus on the challenges and opportunities for states and districts as they implement evidence-based interventions to support low-performing schools under ESSA.

Unlike the policies that preceded it, ESSA does not require identified schools to adopt a particular set of strategies to improve. But it does require that the interventions schools choose be backed by evidence of their effectiveness. While this is a more flexible approach, the new requirement to rely on evidence-based strategies has created its own set of implementation issues. This webinar will discuss how states, districts, external partners and vendors, researchers, and education advocates have responded to ESSA’s evidence requirements and the systems, capacity, supports, and other resources districts need to find, develop, and implement evidence-based approaches.

"For years, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program has given thousands of young people-many of whom have never known a home other than the United States-the chance to achieve the American Dream by pursuing an education and a career without fear of deportation. This important ruling from the Supreme Court, while not the final word on the future of DACA, is at least a reprieve for families who have been living under a cloud of fear during the Trump Administration. Our country needs to support these individuals who have given so much to contribute to its vitality. We need Congress to step up immediately with legislation that provides protection to these vital members of our communities and our education system."

A Civil Rights Data Collection That Ignores Students' Civil Rights

The long-delayed 2017-18 Civil Rights Data Collection was released by the U.S. Department of Education, but without an analysis of disparities for students of color. Plus, even though a bill cannot pass before the November election, the White House and House Democrats continue to negotiate a comprehensive COVID-19 aid package after Senate Republicans fail-again-to pass their "skinny" stimulus proposal.

Students of Color Caught in the Homework Gap

This spring, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a near-total shutdown of the U.S. school system, forcing more than 55 million students to transition to home-based remote learning practically overnight. In most cases, that meant logging in to online classes and accessing lessons and assignments through a home internet connection.

Sadly, that was not an option for children in one out of three Black, Latino, and American Indian/Alaska Native households and 16.9 million children nationwide. These children remained logged out because their families lack the home internet access necessary to support online learning, a phenomenon known as the "homework gap."

Five Things to Know About the Homework Gap

16.9 million children ?lack the high-speed home internet access necessary to support online learning
7.3 million children do not have a desktop, laptop, or tablet computer?
One in three ?Black, Latino, and American Indian/Alaska Native families do not have high-speed home internet
One in three families who earn less than $50,000 annually do not have high-speed home internet
Two in five families in rural areas do not have high-speed home internet

An analysis of data from the 2018 American Community Survey conducted for the Alliance for Excellent Education, National Indian Education Association, National Urban League, and UnidosUS shows that millions of households with children under the age of 18 lack two essential elements for online learning:
(1) high-speed home internet service and (2) a computer. Furthermore, these disparities disproportionately impact students from low-income families, students of color, and those from rural communities.

Now is the time to close the homework gap!

The Trump Administration Faces Backlash on Plan to Reopen Schools.

The Trump Administration doubles down on its aggressive push to reopen schools full time in the fall among outcries from educators and advocates. The House Appropriations Committee advanced legislation with a small boost for K-12 aid, but a cut for charter schools. Plus, multiple states sue to stop the Education Department's rule on CARES Act aid for private school students, and the Civil Rights Data Collection is postponed, marking the first time since 1968 that the data will not be collected biennially.

When Equity Is Optional:
School Accountability Systems Fail to Help Most
Vulnerable Students Under ESSA

Five years into the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), states are doing a wildly varied job of serving vulnerable students and closing persistent gaps required by the law, new analyses from the Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed) show. According to data in All4Ed's When Equity Is Optional reports, Black and Latino students are much more likely to receive a poorly rated education. Worse, states have used ESSA's flexibility to take such different approaches that these students have dramatically different odds of getting the extra help and resources they need, because many low-rated schools are overlooked for support. With federal accountability reporting from last year on pause because of the COVID-19 pandemic, All4Ed calls on state leaders to use this opportunity to create more equitable state accountability systems and to measure student learning this year to ensure that children and teens do not lose more ground.

Read the Reports

Watch Today's Webinar

Join us at 11 a.m. when our panel, including Deborah Delisle, John King, Marc Morial, Janet Murgu?a, and Erica Green, will discuss the report's findings, reflect on the lessons learned from ESSA's early implementation, and examine the implications for students of color and students from low-income families.

Recommendations for Prioritizing Equity in the Response to COVID-19

The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted nearly every aspect of our education system. Our most vulnerable students have been hit first and hardest by these disruptions. Without an intense and intentional focus on equity, they also will be the last to recover. The Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed) joined thirteen other organizations to offer recommendations in six areas to support states and districts in crafting an equity-focused response to COVID-19.

One year ago, the Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed) launched #OurChallengeOurHope, a campaign to honor the anniversary and legacy of the Supreme Court's landmark case Brown v. Board of Education. Now that this anniversary year has come and gone, we must make sure that the promises outlined in the Brown case don't dim until the next anniversary. During the coming year, we will continue to elevate the challenges that historically underserved students face and the hope we find in our combined efforts to eliminate educational inequities. In the meantime, we created a retrospective video of highlights from the past year.

Education advocates were looking for a heroic response from Congress to support students' learning while schools are closed and their recovery when schools reopen. They were largely let down. And in a more predictable disappointment, the Education Department released final Title IX regulations.

Our Students Need Your Help!

As you know, currently 50 million students in the United States are out of school. Of these students, some log in and receive the best "remote learning" their district can offer. In other homes, students remain logged out, with an increase in learning loss with each passing day.

The magnitude of the issue is vast. Approximately 12 million students do not have home internet access, which includes nearly 20 percent of Black and Latino students.

Congress is debating whether to provide funding to close the homework gap. Some in Congress have no intention of doing so, while others have proposed serious investments. In the Senate, nearly every Democrat has cosponsored legislation that would provide $4 billion to close the homework gap. The latest proposal in the House says that $5 billion should be allocated, but only provides $1.5 billion-far less than what is needed. Now is the time to act and close the homework gap. We must keep schools open online, even if school buildings remain closed. Our students'' futures depends on it.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi needs to hear your voice of support today to increase funding dedicated to closing the homework gap to $5 billion.

Please take sixty seconds today to share the Tweets below.

Keeping Students Linked in California

Across California, 1.8 million children live in homes without high-speed internet, and nearly 690,000 do not have a computer. Moreover, these disparities in access disproportionately impact children of color. With most schools in California reopening virtually this fall, those offering Linked Learning pathways have transitioned their programs to an online environment. Yet a new analysis from the Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed) and Linked Learning Alliance finds that the students who could gain the most from participating in Linked Learning-students of color and those from low-income families-also are the ones least likely to have the internet access and devices needed to experience Linked Learning from home.

Federal Flash:
Students of Color Caught in the Homework Gap

A new analysis shows that far more students fall into the homework gap than previously recorded, with students of color, students from low-income families, and students in rural areas much more likely to be cut off from online learning at home. A preview of Senate Republican's coronavirus relief proposals for education, including incentives for opening schools in-person and private school vouchers. Plus, school nutrition advocates push the USDA to extend flexibility so that more students can continue to receive free meals, with less hassle, as the school year approaches.
