Por Esh\u00e9 Collins, Directora Ejecutiva del Centro Sure\u00f1o para la Oportunidad y el Acceso (SCOA)<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Cuando pienso en el trabajo que hacemos, no empiezo por las pol\u00edticas o los programas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pienso en los educadores que cada d\u00eda se presentan comprometidos a ayudar a sus estudiantes a tener \u00e9xito. Pienso en los l\u00edderes distritales que toman decisiones dif\u00edciles con cuidado. Pienso en las innumerables conversaciones que hemos tenido con escuelas de todo el Sur, escuchando primero, aprendiendo junto a ellas y encontrando maneras pr\u00e1cticas de impulsar su trabajo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Esas alianzas siempre han sido la esencia de lo que somos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hoy nos enorgullece presentar el Centro Sure\u00f1o para la Oportunidad y el Acceso (SCOA), anteriormente conocido como Centro de Asistencia para la Equidad del Sur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nuestro nuevo nombre marca un hito importante, pero no representa una nueva misi\u00f3n. Refleja el trabajo que hemos tenido el privilegio de realizar junto a las escuelas durante d\u00e9cadas: brindar apoyo pr\u00e1ctico, orientaci\u00f3n confiable y desarrollo profesional que ayuda a los l\u00edderes educativos a fortalecer los sistemas escolares y crear entornos de aprendizaje donde cada estudiante tenga la oportunidad de triunfar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Como Centro de Asistencia para la Equidad de la Regi\u00f3n II, mantenemos nuestro compromiso de servir a los distritos escolares p\u00fablicos de 11 estados del sur y Washington, D.C., ayudando a las escuelas a cumplir con los requisitos federales de derechos civiles y a fortalecer las pr\u00e1cticas educativas relacionadas con la raza, el origen nacional, el sexo y la religi\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lo que m\u00e1s me entusiasma no es simplemente presentar un nuevo nombre, sino lo que este momento hace posible.<\/span><\/p>\n

En los pr\u00f3ximos meses, compartiremos m\u00e1s de la experiencia que hemos desarrollado junto con educadores y l\u00edderes escolares de toda la regi\u00f3n. Continuaremos ampliando el acceso a herramientas pr\u00e1cticas, investigaciones y formaci\u00f3n profesional que respondan a los desaf\u00edos reales que enfrentan las escuelas a diario.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nos entusiasma especialmente continuar ese trabajo a trav\u00e9s de una serie de seminarios web en colaboraci\u00f3n con la Academia Nacional de Educaci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n

El 18 de agosto, organizaremos el evento \u201cCreaci\u00f3n de entornos de aprendizaje que brindan apoyo a trav\u00e9s de la pr\u00e1ctica docente\u201d, en el que exploraremos c\u00f3mo las pr\u00e1cticas docentes pueden ayudar a crear entornos de aprendizaje donde los estudiantes se sientan apoyados y preparados para tener \u00e9xito.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reg\u00edstrate para el seminario web.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Al comenzar este nuevo cap\u00edtulo, mi esperanza es simple: que SCOA siga siendo un socio de confianza para los educadores del Sur, un lugar al que puedan acudir en busca de orientaci\u00f3n reflexiva, recursos pr\u00e1cticos y una colaboraci\u00f3n significativa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tanto si llevas a\u00f1os colaborando con nosotros como si acabas de conocer nuestro trabajo, te agradezco que est\u00e9s aqu\u00ed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Espero que exploren nuestro nuevo sitio web, se unan a nosotros en un pr\u00f3ximo seminario web y contin\u00faen este camino con nosotros mientras trabajamos juntos para fortalecer las escuelas y ampliar las oportunidades para los estudiantes en todo el Sur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gracias por formar parte de lo que est\u00e1 por venir.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
