  • The Key to America's Future
    COALITION FOR COMMUNITY SCHOOLS 2010 National Forum PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA • APRIL 7 TO 9, 2010 Building Innovative Partnerships for Student Success THE KEY TO AMERICA’S FUTURE www.communityschools.org April 7, 2010 Dear Friends, It is a special privilege to welcome you to the Coalition for Community Schools’ 2010 National Forum. As many of you know, the Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) has been the home of the Coalition for Community Schools since the Coalition’s inception in 1997. I now have the honor of serving both as the director of the Coalition and as the president of IEL. The theme of this year’s Forum, Building Innovative Partnerships for Student Success: The Key to America’s Future, is one that resonates strongly with IEL’s vision and mission. IEL envisions a society that mobilizes and organizes all of its resources to support the success of all young people. IEL has long recognized that to attain better outcomes for students, leaders must have the knowledge and skills to break down silos and unite people, organizations, and communities. Our mission is to build the capacity of individuals, organizations, systems, and communities in education and related fields to cross boundaries while working together to improve outcomes for children and youth. IEL’s work serves as the backbone of innovative efforts around the country to develop the effective policies and systems, the leadership and the community support needed for the success of young people. We focus on vulnerable youth, particularly those with disabilities, building stronger linkages between our education and workforce systems, developing strong principals who can lead across school and community, and developing leaders in all parts of the P–20 education system through the Education Policy Fellowship Program.

Of Irish Interest John Kenny Protection By Molly McCloskey Penguin Ireland, 309pp, £10.99 In 1909 the Belfast-London literary journalist and editor, Robert Lynd, attempted a phlegmatic settlement of the matter of Irishness in his book Home Life in Ireland: “The truth is, there is a great deal of nonsense talked about the ‘real Irishman’ and the ‘typical Irishman’ - to mention two phrases common among thoughtless people. The ‘real Irishman’ is neither a Celt nor essentially a Catholic. He is merely a man who has had the good or bad fortune to be born in Ireland or of Irish parents, and who is interested in Ireland more than in any other country in the world”. In a time when we are at ongoing pains to ease the clash of self-definitions that were his context, Lynd’s homogenisations - by implication more expansive than reductive - are suggestive for debate about what specifically Irish literature is or might continue to be. It is increasingly widely mooted that in the face of the three-point challenge of domestically disputed meanings of native ground, the social and linguistic uniformities imposed by or welcomed from the march of globalisation, and the recent influx of new ethnicities, we should, so to cast off the troublesome past and avoid the exhaustion of perpetual redefinition, simply abandon all application or adoption of Irishness and associated epithets.
