  • Lowell Milken: Teacher Leaders As the Opportunity
    TEACHER LEADERS AS THE OPPORTUNITY by Lowell Milken TEACHER LEADERS AS THE OPPORTUNITY TEACHER LEADERS AS THE OPPORTUNITY INTRODUCTION I believe one of the most important things we can do in this life is make the most of the opportunities it affords. Those opportunities are vast and varied. Some are hidden. Others are evident. For highly effective teachers, the opportunities are in plain sight. And none is more important than leading other teachers to maximum effectiveness. This is the focus of this presentation. Leadership in teachers. How to create and how to expand it. The effective teacher in the classroom is both the starting point and the engine of excellent and meaningful education. That’s because excellent teachers are not only the single most important in-school factor in student learning,1 the best of them are the key factor in improving the instructional practices and strengthening the skills of their peers.2 It is completely relevant to this topic that 2018 marks the 20th year of the TAP System for Teacher and Student Advancement (TAP), a system I believed was possible and knew was necessary.3 A system I set about creating because the quality of an education system depends— absolutely—upon the quality of its educators. It is also relevant that the representation among educators and education officials is exceptionally broad at this conference: state policymakers and officials, college leaders, district officials, principals, master, mentor and career teachers, foundation and community leaders, and Milken Educator Award recipients. I mention this breadth because it’s going to take this range of professionals and participants to truly fulfill the promise of TAP, of which teacher leadership is an integral part.

  • Unreported Cases
    DELAWARE JOURNAL OF CORPORATE LAW [Vol. 18 Plaintffs have shown that the Schedules 4.09 and 5.05 contained information that would ordinarily be material to the decision the minority must make about whether to tender in response to Grace's offer. That information, however, is more likely to encourage the minority shareholders to accept Grace's offer than to reject it and any delay in consummating the Tender Offer will only delay the receipt of the Tender Offer price by those who tender. The minority shareholders will, therefore, suffer harm if an injunction is granted, but none if it is not. Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore denied. IT IS SO ORDERED. HART HOLDING CO. v DREXEL BURNHAM LAMBERT INC. No. 11,514 Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle May 28, 1992 Plaintiff corporation and its subsidiary brought this action against defendant corporation and a number of limited partnerships, alleging fraud, breach of contract, and breach of fiduciary duty, resulting from alleged conspiracy in connection with plaintiff corporation's leveraged acquisition of all of subsidiary's stock. Plaintiff sought, inter alia, to cancel certain shares of subsidiary's common stock registered in the name of several defendants and damages. Action against defendant corporation was stayed due to bankruptcy pro- ceedings. Defendant limited partnerships moved to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction while plaintiffs moved for imposition of sanc- tions as a result of alleged discovery abuses. The court of chancery, per Chancellor Allen, held that defendant limited partnerships did not have the requisite minimum contacts with the forum to justify subjecting them to personal jurisdiction and declined to authorize a sequestration order to obtain jurisdiction over partnership assets in the forum.

  • Educator Awards Luncheon
    29th Annual Jewish Educator Awards Luncheon Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel Los Angeles December 13, 2018 29th Annual Jewish Educator Awards Luncheon Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel Los Angeles December 13, 2018 Sponsored by the Milken Family Foundation in cooperation with BJE, a beneficiary agency of The Jewish Federation Message from the MILKEN FAMILY FOUNDATION How do we, as a community and as a people, best educate the next generation to lead and ensure a meaningful Jewish future? This question has been discussed with Talmudic intensity by Jews over the ages. Research conducted in recent decades reveals that the earlier a child begins Jewish education, the more likely he or she is to remain connected later in life. Early childhood education in a Jewish setting has the added benefit of nurturing a Jewish influence on the family as a whole. As a child matures, every additional year of a Jewish day school education—particularly past the bar or bat mitzvah year—further solidifies a strong Jewish connection and understanding of that tradition and responsibility for living life according to these values. According to recent studies, 40 percent of today’s young Jewish leaders attended Jewish day schools. Combined, these factors point to a shared conclusion: Jewish day schools are important and worth the investment of effort, time and resources for all of us who care about ensuring a meaningful Jewish future. This places a great sense of duty upon those who deliver that education to maintain high standards of rigor, inspiration and results, whether Orthodox, Conservative, Reform or Community schools. If we are truly committed to the goals inherent in combining a secular education with the traditions and tenets of our faith, then it is up to all of us to ensure that high-quality professional learning is the norm, that resources are sufficient, and that teachers have opportunities to develop and flourish.
