BUT ONLY 29% OF TEACHERS REPORT HIGH LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT WITH THAT LEARNING BECAUSE IT IS OFTEN MISALIGNED WITH WHAT TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS NEED. NOT SURPRISINGLY, IT DOESN'T ALWAYS RESULT IN IMPROVED PRACTICE OR INCREASED STUDENT LEARNING.PERSONALIZED PROFESSIONAL LEARNING IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE GREATER ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES AND RESOURCES FOR A MORE EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS WHO SERVE THEM. TO MEET THE DIVERSE LEARNING NEEDS OF STUDENTS, EDUCATORS MUST HAVE FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE IN LEARNING THAT IS PERSONALIZED TO THEIR OWN DIVERSE NEEDS. MIRA EDUCATION'S APPROACH PROVIDES A LEARNER-CENTERED SYSTEM FOR EDUCATORS TO ALIGN THEIR UNIQUE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING NEEDS WITH THOSE OF THEIR SCHOOLS, DISTRICTS, AND STATES.MIRA EDUCATION HAS SUPPORTED MORE THAN 200 TEAMS TO DEVELOP AND USE MICRO-CREDENTIALS AS A LEVER FOR PERSONALIZED PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SYSTEMS. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, WE LAUNCHED AN ALTERNATE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM (CAROLINACAP) UTILIZING MICRO-CREDENTIALS TO SUPPORT PREPARATION OF A PIPELINE OF 200+ DIVERSE TEACHERS IN DISTRICTS SERVING COMMUNITIES THAT ARE LOW-INCOME, MAJORITY OF COLOR, AND/OR RURAL. 59742 SUPPORTING EDUCATOR STORYTELLING: WE DRAW ON STORYTELLING TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS, DISTRICTS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO SHARE STORIES THAT INSPIRE OTHERS TOWARD INNOVATION IN THE FIELD.STORIES ARE ABOUT SHOWING AND SHARING UNIQUE INSIGHTS. AND THE MORE DIVERSE THE ROLES, CULTURES, AND LIVED EXPERIENCES OF STORYTELLERS, THE BETTER. WHEN EDUCATORS AND OTHER LEADERS SHARE THEIR STORIES OF IMPACT ON STUDENTS, CLASSROOMS, AND SYSTEMS, THEY PAVE THE WAY FOR THOSE BRIGHT SPOTS TO GROW FROM ONE SCHOOL OR DISTRICT OR ORGANIZATION TO ANOTHER.MIRA EDUCATION COACHES EDUCATORS AND PARTNERS SHARE THEIR STORIES AND RESULTS USING FIELD-TESTED STORYTELLING TOOLS. TO ENSURE THAT A VARIETY OF AUDIENCES ARE ENGAGED AND INSPIRED BY THESE COMPELLING NARRATIVES, WE ALSO DESIGN AND ASSIST PARTNERS IN IMPLEMENTING EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES TO SHARE THEIR STORIES.MIRA EDUCATION FACILITATED RETREATS FOR EDUCATORS AND PARTNERS TO CAPTURE SUCCESS AND LEARNINGS FROM PANDEMIC-ERA INSTRUCTION AND CELEBRATE THE RESPONSIVENESS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO CHALLENGES FACED. 269470 DEVELOPING COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP: WE BUILD CAPACITY OF EDUCATOR LEADERS TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF THEIR WORK WITH COLLEAGUES, WITHIN THEIR SCHOOLS, AND IN THEIR SYSTEMS.TRANSFORMING SCHOOLS REQUIRES THE EXPERTISE AND ENGAGEMENT OF EVERY EDUCATOR. TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS NEED SUPPORT TO WORK AS AN ALIGNED TEAM. TEAMS MUST BE INCLUSIVE OF ALL ROLES AND PERSPECTIVES TO SUCCESSFULLY FOCUS ON SHARED RESPONSIBILITY FOR IDENTIFYING CHALLENGES, SETTING GOALS, AND DOING THE WORK OF SCHOOL-WIDE TRANSFORMATION AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.MIRA EDUCATION'S COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP APPROACH BEGINS WITH CLEARLY ARTICULATING THE VALUE OF BIGGER CIRCLES OF LEADERS THAT BRING A NEEDED DIVERSITY OF PERSPECTIVES. AS SCHOOLS AND SYSTEMS IDENTIFY INDIVIDUAL EDUCATORS' STRENGTHS, DEVELOP CROSS-FUNCTIONAL TEAMS THAT LEVERAGE THOSE STRENGTHS, AND BUILD PROCESSES TO TRANSFORM TEACHING AND LEARNING, ALL STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BENEFIT FROM THEIR WORK.MIRA EDUCATION SUPPORTED PRINCIPALS AND TEACHERS IN TWO STATES TO LEARN AND IMPLEMENT COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP PRACTICES THAT ACCELERATE PROGRESS ON SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT AND EQUITY GOALS. TWO OF THREE PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS PARTICIPATING IN A FULL YEAR OF SUPPORT SHOWED INCREASES IN TEACHER EFFICACY, A LEADING MARKER OF IMPROVED ACADEMIC AND OTHER OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS. WE ALSO DEVELOPED A LIBRARY OF 17 ON-DEMAND MODULES TO SUPPORT RELATED LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT WORK IN CA AND NATIONALLY. 812010 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 27 0 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 NC SC X ALESHA DAUGHTREY 9199133000 PO BOX 9351 CHAPEL HILL NC 27515 KEVIN GILBERT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE JOHNSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 1200 0 0 ALMI ABEYTA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CAROL KELLEY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOSHUA STARR SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JILL NELSON TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SHELLY KRAJACIC CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ALESHA DAUGHTREY PRESIDENT 40.00 X 174180 0 18765 DEANNA SCOFIELD-AMDOUNI FINANCE & ACCOUNTING 40.00 X 91019 0 15396 LORI NAZARENO DESIGN LEAD 40.00 X 111717 0 16280 378116 0 50441 2 0 1 0 0 1422911 356549 1779460 3547 3547 920 920 1170 585 585 585 585 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 5025 5025 5025 1789537 0 0 10077 X 307587 135161 158305 14121 413401 288281 102713 22407 14386 10236 3364 786 52879 37064 12766 3049 52560 31389 18480 2691 32352 1405 30827 120 75000 75000 224196 181286 32122 10788 9283 9283 2098 1090 1001 7 51075 37387 11686 2002 84286 61061 21413 1812 9129 8259 759 111 5469 5469 BOARD EXPENSES 27880 16650 9802 1428 MISCELLANEOUS 7469 10 7458 1 TRAINING AND EDUCATION 4516 2697 1588 231 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 198 34 164 1373764 812010 427200 134554 1100007 1630256 113330 116876 185005 61354 5245 5325 69136 40102 36785 29034 1440372 1842845 79209 67242 137722 70709 0 65680 216931 203631 X 1223441 1639214 1223441 1639214 1440372 1842845 415773 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 269370 392177 1413845 1728549 1760561 5564502 269370 392177 1413845 1728549 1760561 5564502 5564502 30034 30725 303 494 4467 66023 4407 1338 949 5610 12304 5642829 2712049 0.98610 0.97480 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MISCELLANEOUS INCOME - 2019 AMOUNT: $ 4,407. 2020 AMOUNT: $ 1,338. 2022 AMOUNT: $ 949. 2023 AMOUNT: $ 5,610.
