Giving Back to the Community

This post is brought to you by D'stini (12th grade scholar), GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!

Who is ready for community service this year??????? Equality does not just fill the mind of community's youth but we also go into the community. Giving back to the community is a lot of fun for our scholars. We get involved as much as we possibly can. Our scholars can tell you it is a group effort and working together helps teach our school values outside of the building.

Educational Leadership Program Promotes Teacher Success

Equality Charter School Co-Founder and Executive Director Caitlin Franco leads the Bronx, New York, school in providing a rigorous and nurturing educational environment that supports academic, social, and personal growth. Earlier in her career, Caitlin Franco attended Stony Brook University and received an Advanced Graduate Certificate (AGC) through the school’s Educational Leadership Program.

The AGC in Educational Leadership Program grants candidates the necessary knowledges, skills, and disposition to become effective leaders for K-12 schools. The program consists of three educational tracks that require 36 credit hours of graduate-level courses and a mentored experiential internship that meets certification requirements.

Available tracks include the Educational Leadership (EDL) Traditional, the EDL Online, and the School District Business Leadership (SDBL). The EDL Traditional and Online tracks offer a dual certification on building and district levels, while the SDBL program targets students with advanced management degrees who do not possess a teaching license.

The AGC in Educational Leadership is coordinated by the Professional Education Program (PEP), which focuses on themes of professional excellence and growth, community and diversity, and leadership and service. PEP also promotes the development of unified curriculums and educational visions that align with standards set by the New York State Education Department, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, the Educational Leadership Constituent Council, and the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium.

Events with the Big Sister Association of Greater Boston

Executive director and founder at Equality Charter School, Caitlin Franco is committed to helping children in the Bronx to thrive, both in and out of the classroom. Involved in numerous philanthropic organizations, Caitlin Franco was a big sister for the Big Sister Association of Greater Boston, creating a network of positive mentors for young girls who need guidance and support.

The Big Sister Association offers a number of events throughout the year, embodying the values so deeply rooted in their mission, from community and communication to empowerment and education. The annual gala, Big in Boston, brings together many of supporters and empowered young girls to have a fancy night to look back on a year of successes and discuss what the future will bring.

The annual Summer Soiree, held during the summer months, brings together young professionals and the next generation of philanthropists, to network with one another while raising money for local charities.

Events can sometimes discuss tough topics, including diversity, racial equality and abuse, giving young girls a chance to speak their mind in a safe and nurturing environment.
