Collect Data
EMC will gather data from The Pulse survey. The Pulse, developed by Search Institute in partnership with Jostens, is a brief scientifically validated online survey that gathers and summarizes perceptions from students, teachers, and the community on the ways students and educators are recognized, encouraged, and rewarded in their schools. No two school districts are the same and no two schools within a district have the same needs. EMC Education Fund recognizes this truth. With the help of John Jenson, and utilizing data from The Pulse survey, EMC will provide specific resources to improve connections and ultimately graduate college and professional career-ready students at higher rates than ever before.
Professional Training
The EMC Fund will provide teachers with SEL training, courses, and awareness to impact academics through mental health, skills development, and school culture. Students spend the majority of their school day in classrooms, and these spaces are at the heart of the learning process. In classrooms, students can learn and practice SEL through explicit instruction, trusting relationships, and academic integration.
Teacher Retention and Acquisition
Because SEL works, teachers will feel empowered and equipped. In addition, your support will allow the school to attract new teachers, intervention specialists, and part-time support as schools implement Each Child, Our Future.
Scholarships
Provide tuition assistance to a high school graduate who wishes to attend vocational training or 2 or 4-year higher education.
