Desc	NC RESILIENCE AND LEARNING PROJECT - THE NC RESILIENCE AND LEARNING PROJECT WORKS WITH HIGH-POVERTY SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE WHERE STUDENT TRAUMA IS PREVALENT. OUR MODEL IS A WHOLE SCHOOL, WHOLE-CHILD FRAMEWORK TO CREATE TRAUMA-SENSITIVE SCHOOLS THAT WILL IMPROVE ACADEMIC, BEHAVIORAL, AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS. THE CDC-KAISER PERMANENTE ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACE) STUDY FOUND THAT ROUGHLY 64% OF THE OVER 17,000 PARTICIPANTS REPORTED HAVING AT LEAST ONE ACE (ACES INCLUDE ABUSE, NEGLECT, AND HOUSEHOLD DYSFUNCTION SUCH AS A HOME WITH SUBSTANCE ABUSE, MENTAL ILLNESS, MOTHER BEING TREATED VIOLENTLY, OR AN INCARCERATED RELATIVE). RESEARCH SHOWS ACES CAN ACTUALLY ALTER BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND CAUSE CHEMICALLY TOXIC EFFECTS IN THE BRAIN RESULTING IN CHILDREN REMAINING IN A CONSTANT STATE OF "SURVIVAL MODE" LEADING TO THE FIGHT, FLIGHT, OR FREEZE RESPONSE. THIS REACTION RESULTS IN MAJOR IMPACTS IN CHILDREN'S LEARNING, CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR, AND RELATIONSHIPS. STUDENTS WITH ACES HAVE HIGHER RATES OF OFFICE REFERRALS, SUSPENSIONS, AND RETENTION AS WELL AS LOWER ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. OUR PROJECT HAS TWO COMPONENTS: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR SCHOOL-WIDE STAFF AND THE FORMATION OF A SCHOOL STEERING COMMITTEE WHO MEET REGULARLY AND SERVE AS THE CHAMPIONS OF THIS WORK. THE COMMITTEE IDENTIFIES AREAS OF URGENCY, CREATES, AND IMPLEMENTS SPECIFIC TRAUMA-SENSITIVE STRATEGIES FOR STUDENTS EXPERIENCING TRAUMA IN ORDER TO POSITIVELY INFLUENCE LEARNING AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS. THE 2021-2022 SCHOOL YEAR WILL BE OUR FIFTH YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION. WE HAVE PROVIDED TRAINING AND/OR COACHING IN 23 SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE.	Desc

THE PROGRAM IS THE ONLY STATEWIDE PROGRAM FOCUSED ON LEADERSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATION POLICY. EACH NEW CLASS CONTINUES THE TREND OF HIGH-CALIBER PARTICIPANTS AND IS RICH IN ITS MEMBERS' RANGE OF PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. FELLOWS COME FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS, COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, STATE AGENCIES, AND A DIVERSE ARRAY OF EDUCATION ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA. EACH CLASS INCLUDES A COHORT OF 20-30 FELLOWS WHO FOCUS ON EDUCATION POLICY ISSUES AND THE WIDE RANGE OF FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE EDUCATION IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR FELLOWS TO LEARN ABOUT ISSUES AND PERSPECTIVES IN EDUCATION THAT THEY MAY NOT ALWAYS ENCOUNTER IN THEIR DAILY WORK SO THAT THEY CAN BE MORE INFORMED, ROUNDED CONTRIBUTORS TO THE CRITICAL EDUCATION DEBATES THAT SHAPE THE QUALITY AND FOCUS OF SCHOOLS. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IS A KEY FOCUS OF THE EDUCATION POLICY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM. EPFP HAS GRADUATED MORE THAN 1100 FELLOWS AND HAS A RICH NETWORK OF ALUMNI IN NORTH CAROLINA AND NATIONALLY. NORTH CAROLINA'S PROGRAM IS AFFILIATED WITH THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THE NORTH CAROLINA PROGRAM IS ROUTINELY HELD UP AS AN EXAMPLE FOR ITS STRONG CURRICULUM, GROWING NETWORK OF FELLOWS, AND INFLUENCE IN NORTH CAROLINA. KEY RESEARCH, POLICY ANALYSIS, AND PUBLICATIONSTHE PUBLIC SCHOOL FORUM IS A HIGHLY TRUSTED SOURCE IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS OF KEY ISSUES AFFECTING PUBLIC EDUCATION. FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS, THE FORUM HAS ANNUALLY PRODUCED THE LOCAL SCHOOL FINANCE STUDY, THE ONLY REPORT OF ITS KIND IN NORTH CAROLINA THAT TRACKS COUNTIES' INVESTMENT IN PUBLIC EDUCATION. THE REPORT HELPS STATE-LEVEL POLICYMAKERS UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF ADEQUATE STATE FUNDING FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION AND INEQUITIES IN LOCAL FUNDING ACROSS COUNTIES AND HELPS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS, AND LOCAL SCHOOL FINANCE OFFICERS LEARN LESSONS FROM SIMILAR COUNTIES ON HOW TO BOOST RESOURCES FOR SCHOOLS.
