Engaging our community
The Rochester Education Fellowship is in the process of engaging stakeholders—students, families, educators, and community members—to better understand concerns and priorities related to our educational landscape. We are working to gather community input via stakeholder interactions and surveys to co-create a bold and innovative vision for education in Rochester. The REF Community Survey aims to understand challenges, barriers, and viable pathways to a high-quality education.
Here’s what some of our stakeholders had to say:
-
Student: “Without opportunities to succeed, there's a lot of space for us to fail.”
-
Parent: "When we think about schools we have to think beyond the walls of the buildings, we have to address the needs of our community."
-
Parent: “Parent voices should be at the table when conversations and decisions are being made on behalf of the children in our community.”
-
Community-based Organization Leader: “We must begin to row in the same direction.”
-
Educator: “Our priorities and goals must be accompanied by sustainable efforts and standards of accountability.”
Responding to the needs and harnessing the strength of our community, we hope to create a movement of stakeholders who are engaged, empowered, and mobilized to advocate for high-quality education options and highly effective educators. Working together we will create a shared vision to improve educational outcomes for Rochester’s children.
