From the VASCD Executive Director Laurie McCullough, Executive Director Virginia ASCD As VASCD’s 2020 journal goes to (digital) press, it seems as if our world has been turned upside down and inside out. A public health catastrophe that isolates us from each other, civil unrest that challenges a nation to search its soul, an economy sustaining long-term damage, and a climate crisis wreaking havoc— all happening now. Hunkering down in our home offices or spare-bedroom- makeshift classrooms and covering our faces with masks allow us no escape from these realities. And yet, Virginia educators are teaching, learning, and leading. You are making mistakes and experiencing victories. You are working harder and longer than ever just to stay afloat, knowing that your best teaching and strongest classroom communities require being together with students. Still, you refuse to give up because the need is great, and your students and their families are counting on you. At VASCD we don’t meet students virtually each day, deliver food and learning materials, or deploy hot spots to rural addresses. But we too are retooling and redefining our work. We have long thrived as a strong statewide network of innovative, forward-looking educators who have connected at conferences, shared ideas at workshops, and ventured out on “field trips” to observe 8 vascd.org VASCD Journal Vol. 17 2020 innovative practices in each other’s schools. Our work, like yours, is different now. We are planning a virtual Annual Conference for December 2-3 that will take advantage of a digital platform to allow attendees to access more content than ever before. And we are working on ideas to create fun, engagement and interaction, even though we will be physically distant. Our micro-credentialing project, which began before the onset of COVID-19, has now become our biggest and perhaps most impactful initiative. Through micro- credentialing, teachers can learn and strengthen their skills using individual and personalized plans—powerful professional learning without the necessity of an in-person experience. Micro-credentials allow teachers choice about how they learn as well as the opportunity to demonstrate mastery through evidence of their real work with students. VASCD will continue to celebrate and advocate for Virginia educators as we navigate the coming weeks and months. Our work will look different, as yours does, but our efforts to modernize and deepen learning for Virginia students will be as strong as ever—almost as strong as you are! Laurie McCullough, Executive Director 2020 Vol. 17 VASCD Journal vascd.org 9 From the VASCD President Alan Seibert, Superintendent, Salem City Schools President, Virginia ASCD (2020-2022) Almost everything we have done in the last eight months has been new to us. Last spring, we did everything we could to care for and stay connected with our students after an abrupt end to in-person instruction. As it became clear that we would not have a normal reopening school year, 20-21 was (and continues to be) completely reimagined in ways that will likely reshape the future of education. Each decision we’ve made and each strategy we’ve tried has represented our efforts to do the very best we can for the students we serve. Meanwhile, we have all experienced our own levels of fear and uncertainty, worry and concern. We have also all experienced our own levels of resolve and commitment, resilience and optimism. Personally, I have felt all of these emotions at different times and to different degrees—sometimes all of them in a short period of time and to significant degrees! I was raised to believe that, “anything worth doing is worth doing right”, but we are in uncharted territory and “right” is difficult to define. As VASCD President, Salem City Schools’ Superintendent, and as a Dad, I trust the Commonwealth’s amazing educators to persist, learn, adapt and excel during these truly unprecedented times. “Armchair quarterbacks” will likely judge our decisions 10 vascd.org

Monty Jones, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Teaching & Learning VCU School of Education Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, Virginia December, 2019 iii Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge Jesus, as I would not have begun the journey into the realm of education without divine intervention. Next, my wife, Amy, thank you. I wanted to give up so many times, but you would not allow me to; moreover, you loved me well through the process. Brionna, Bryan, Kim, and Virginia thank you for your support, laughter and conversation throughout the process, I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Friends, thank you for your love and support, and for listening to me complain and telling me I could do it. Bell family your support was crucial and I hope to get more of that cake. Monty, without your encouragement and guidance I would have been lost (metaphorically and physically); I will miss our regular conversations on food, tech, and life. Bill, thank you for taking me into phenomenology land; I may never leave. Also, the conversations and insights were crucial for finishing this paper. Elizabeth, your knowledge of science was spot on and our upbeat conversations often eased my anxiety ridden mind about ever finishing.

  • Recruiting and Retaining Teachers for Richmond Publlc Schools: Partnership Efforts Jill Fox, Nora Alder, Harold Fitrer, and Alan Mcleod
    Recruiting and Retaining Teachers for Richmond Publlc Schools: Partnership Efforts Jill Fox, Nora Alder, Harold Fitrer, and Alan McLeod Abstratt Virginia Commonwealth University and the Richmond Public Schools have been frequent partners in education projects and initiatives over the past 30 years. Recent partnership efforts have focused on four issues specific to the needs of an urban school system: preparing teachers for work with students in high-needs urban classrooms, recruiting teachers, mentoring beginning teachers, and retaining successful, experienced teachers in these same classrooms. This paper describes school-university efforts around these issues and identifies the challenges still to be met. Located in the heart of Richmond, the School of Education at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) has a history of service to and partnership with the Richmond Public Schools (RPS). Over the past 35 years, VCU School of Education has shared faculty with RPS in joint appointments and collaborated in federally funded projects such as Cooperative Urban Teacher Education. Collaborative research projects have examined teacher roles and student learning, and together VCU and RPS educators have participated in training on school reform and consensus building. In 1990, VCU recommitted itself to involvement with and service to metropolitan Richmond by stating its goal to "use the urban environment as a laboratory for studying and developing new approaches to problems pertaining to the public and private sector" (VCU Mission and Goals Statement 1990). Within the School of Education, specifically the Division of Teacher Education, this mission focuses on the preparation of teachers for work in urban classrooms. This paper describes programs through which the VCU School of Education and RPS have collaborated, often joined by other partners in the university and community to recruit and retain teachers for urban classrooms.
