Enhancing Student Growth and Achievement: Meeting the

Needs of Each and Every Child In Dearborn. Part 2

Glenn Maleyko, Superintendent, Ph. D and Team Dearborn

General Administrators Meeting October 1 and 2, 2015

Many of the Slides and Statistics were referenced from Dufour (2015).

Students interests must be the number one priority.

We will meet the needs of each and every student.

Reflected in: 90 Day Plan, Superintendent Interview,

District Goals, and How we do Business on a Daily Basis.

Non-Negotiable In order to be successful,

professional learning communities must be embedded in the culture of

our school. Teamwork and collaboration at Dearborn Public Schools is not an option, it is who we are and what we do as a part of

our daily routine. Glenn Maleyko

Food for Thought and the Feeder Track Model:

▪In 1973 only 28 percent of jobs required post secondary education.

▪By 2020, 65 percent will require post secondary education

▪1970, 74 percent of the middle class was comprised of high school graduates and dropouts

▪2007, only 23 percent of middle class composed of high school graduates and dropouts.

We must Prepare Students for their Future: Not our past.

-Between 1970 and 2007 the percentage of upper class workers with postsecondary education increased from 44% to 81%

Statistics on Job Limitations

▪ by 2018 9/10 workers with a high school education or less will be limited to occupations in food and personal service, sales and office support, or blue collar jobs that either pay low wages or are in decline

▪Next Five Years 60 Million Americans at Risk of being locked out of middle class and placed in low wage jobs

▪Those with less than post secondary will be locked out of middle class

Importance of Learning

▪ In the 20th century illiterates were those that could not read.

▪ In the 21st century illiterates will be those that have not learned how to learn or continue their learning beyond k-12.

We must Prepare Students for their Future: Not our past.

▪A child born in the bottom 20 percent of family incomes is 10 times more likely to state there than a child in the top 20 percent is of falling to the bottom 20 percent▪A child born in the top 20 percent of family

incomes is five times more likely to stay there than a child in a lower 20 percent is to rise to the top 20 percent

Income and Poverty

▪More than 80 percent of children in the top 20 percent of family incomes earn a bachelor’s degree.

Income and Poverty

▪Education is the most powerful tool for helping students of poverty rise

Current System is not working

▪Potential Dropouts can be predicted as early as first grade and identified with accuracy by 3rd Grade (APA, 2012; Sparks, 2013).▪More than ⅓ of students entering college need a remedial course▪34% of students entering college drop out in the 1st year

Issues with the Current System

▪Only 36 percent of students who enter a four year public college earn a bachelor’s degree within 5 years.

▪Only 29 percent of those pursuing a 2 year degree earn it within 3 years.

Implications for Students that Fail

▪Students who drop out of school are three times more likely to be unemployed▪Those students are likely to live in poverty(earn $21,000 or less.)▪High school Dropouts earn 34 cents for every dollar a college graduate earns and 60 cents for every dollar a high school graduate earns

Implications for Students that Fail

▪The US has one of the largest discrepancies in income between dropouts and college graduates vs. all major economies in the world. ▪Female dropouts will live an average of 10 years less than female college graduates▪Male drop out will live 13 less years than male college graduates.

Implications for Students that Fail

▪Male drop out will live 13 less years than male college graduates.

▪High School Dropouts are 63 times more likely to be incarcerated.

Implications for Students that Fail
