GiveBIG to Eastside Pathways and help us in our mission to mobilize our entire community to support every child, step by step, from cradle to career.
Eastside Pathways is participating - for the first time - in Seattle Foundation's GiveBIG 2016 event on May 3rd. The one-day event helps nonprofits generate much-needed funds that are "stretched" with added dollars from Seattle Foundation's pool of funds from their sponsors.

Together, with our partner organizations, we have:
- Sustained reduction in tardiness - 29% decrease over two years
- Increased 3rd grade reading proficiency from 83% in 2012 to around 88% in 2015
Help us make an even bigger impact.

We are pleased to share with you Eastside Pathways'
community report
for 2015. This is the fourth report that reflects the collective work our Partnership has undertaken. This report is a look at where we stand on progress toward our goals. It is meant to help monitor key outcomes for kids, but also identify and build on the changes happening at a systemic level. It highlights the individual and organizational collective learning that continues to make our work better each year.
This year, we have taken the additional step of making detailed data available for exploration on our website. The report links to several Tableau dashboards which will be updated periodically as new information is available.
After you have read this, we hope you join or renew your commitment to working collectively on behalf of our children.

Dr. Terrence Roberts, one of the "Little Rock Nine," came to Bellevue in late March as the keynote speaker at the YouthLink Youth Involvement Conference. His lunchtime plenary captivated the youth in attendance, and afterwards a group of 30 or so Eastside Pathways partners and community members were able to speak with Dr. Roberts about the challenging, necessary work of advancing racial equity in Bellevue.

We did it!
Since August 2015, Eastside Pathways' facilitators had been learning how to manage and focus their collaboratives' work in ways that can maximize and accelerate outcomes.
On April 29th, the facilitators completed the
certification process developed by Leadership Eastside. This
adds Adaptive Community Leadership skills to their Eastside Pathways facilitator tool box.

Hello BSD Community Partners!
Middle School Social Emotional Learning Implementation Team Forming
The Middle School SEL Adoption Committee came to a consensus and made a curriculum recommendation to be presented to the Instructional Materials Committee (IMC) in June. If approved, the recommendation will be presented to the School Board for their approval soon after.
Regardless of curriculum, the Committee recognized that there are many questions, concerns and thoughts around implementation of SEL in our 7 middle schools. For this reason, the Committee recommended forming a
Middle School Social Emotional Learning Implementation Team
. This team will need to have representation from each building; teachers, administrators and other stakeholders are encouraged to participate.
This new
Implementation Team
will discuss options, listen and provide feedback from people they represent, and make recommendations around "how, when & where" the SEL curriculum lessons will be delivered.
Are you interested in participating? Please email
Wendy Powell
by
May 10th.
