THE 16TH ANNUAL JUST ASK OPENING OF SCHOOL CHECKLIST IS NOW AVAILABLE!

Decision makers are still grappling with determining how best to structure healthy and productive teaching and learning conditions for the 2020-2021 school year including if, how, and when school buildings will reopen and for whom they will open. It is our goal at Just ASK to provide information/ideas that will help leaders implement whatever decisions they make… or are made for them. To that end, our 2020 Opening of School Checklist has been significantly updated to reflect our current ever-changing realities. If you find it useful, feel free to share it with colleagues near and far. Access it at https://justaskpublications.com/2020openingofschoolchecklist/

In case you do not know about the work of Dolly Parton’s foundation, this Facebook post summarizes its history. I had the good fortune to learn about it from Dolly herself when she spoke at an NSDC (now Learning Forward) conference in Nashville in the 90s. Thanks Diane Starkey for reminding me of this incredible contribution.

In 1990, the high school dropout rate for Dolly Parton's hometown of Sevierville Tennessee was at 34% (Research shows that most kids make up their minds in fifth/sixth grade not to graduate). That year, all fifth and sixth graders from Sevierville were invited by Parton to attend an assembly at Dollywood. They were asked to pick a buddy, and if both students completed high school, Dolly Parton would personally hand them each a $500 check on their graduation day. As a result, the dropout rate for those classes fell to 6%, and has generally retained that average to this day. Shortly after the success of The Buddy Program, Parton learned in dealing with teachers from the school district that problems in education often begin during first grade when kids are at different developmental levels. That year The Dollywood Foundation paid the salaries for additional teachers assistants in every first grade class for the next 2 years, under the agreement that if the program worked, the school system would effectively adopt and fund the program after the trial period. During the same period, Parton founded the Imagination Library in 1995: The idea being that children from her rural hometown and low-income families often start school at a disadvantage and as a result, will be unfairly compared to their peers for the rest of their lives, effectively encouraging them not to pursue higher education. The objective of the Imagination library was that every child in Sevier County would receive one book, every month, mailed and addressed to the child, from the day they were born until the day they started kindergarten, 100% free of charge. What began as a hometown initiative now serves children in all 50 states, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, mailing thousands of free books to children around the world monthly. On March 1, 2018 Parton donated her 100 millionth book at the Library of Congress: a copy of "Coat of Many Colors" dedicated to her father, who never learned to read or write.
