The Flamboyan Foundation Family Engagement Project, based in Washington, D.C., partners with schools to foster collaboration between school administrators and families on behalf of students. Over the 2010 and 2011 school years, their partner schools saw an 80 percent decrease in short- term suspensions. Boston’s Smart Start Inc., seeks to narrow the achieve- ment gap by supporting families raising infants to 5-year- olds. On the Ages and Stages Questionnaire for school readiness (an assessment tool designed for parents’ private use), their 5-year-olds earned perfect scores in communica- tion, problem-solving, and personal and social skills— despite living in impoverished conditions. The authors of Being Black Is Not a Risk Factor note that while African American children living in poverty are affected by their life experiences, their aptitudes and strengths can still be capitalized upon for academic gain. Furthermore, teaching styles that include a warm person- al relationship, culturally significant lessons, and engaging learning methods have a measurable, positive impact on Black students’ outcomes, especially for boys. And, most importantly, according to the report, parents and teachers have the power to shape Black children’s long- term educational success at any time, even before birth and the preschool years, all the way through grade 12. Ivory A. Toldson said, “It is, as always, about relation- ships – the difference-makers who can raise our children up, and the standardized tests that can bring them down.” ADVERTISEMENT FOR BID Lane Community College Center for Student Success BP #1 – Exterior Demolition of Elevated Structures Lane Community College, Eugene, Oregon Advertisement for: Center for Student Success – Bid Package #1 Lease Crutcher Lewis, LLC, serving as the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) for Lane Commu- nity College is soliciting bids for the construction of the Center for Student Success in Eugene, Oregon.
