Leading the Way
How 4 Oregon superintendents are taking on early learning in their districts. The video was shown at our 6th annual Make It Your Business event in 2014.
Learning Together
Learning Together explores how parents, child care providers and school staff at Earl Boyles Elementary School, one of our Early Works sites, came together to participate in a series of Mind in the Making classes.
Leading the Way
Leading the Way is the story of why four Oregon superintendents — Bob Stewart of Gladstone, Maryalice Russell of McMinnville, Jon Peterson of Pendleton, and Don Grotting of David Douglas — embraced early learning. The report was released at our 2014 Make It Your Business event, in conjunction with a video featuring the superintendents in action.
Stopping the Summer Slide
The summer literacy program is one small piece, but an important one, in the broader Early Works initiativeat Earl Boyles Elementary School. The program is a building block in the effort to close the achievement gap for young children. As Bill Graves finds in this special report, the work is paying off.
Baby Steps Into a Big World
In our newest report, we tell the story of how a publicly funded preschool began at Earl Boyles Elementary School in Portland, and of the many courageous and smart partners who came together to make it work. We hope this story inspires and motivates the needed system reforms that our Early Works demonstration project has uncovered. These are challenges that should be met and overcome as we continue to work to do what is best for children.
