If you missed the EduTalk LIVE! premier last night on POWER 96.5 (www.power965radio.cm) I don't know what to tell you!! What an amazing show and the vibe was on point. Dr. Jennifer Rich, Ed.D. and Catrice D. Huff, MS Ed from BPS FACE Department was in the booth and ROCKED the mic with information, dropping major nuggets of wisdom for parents of school-aged children. Here are some takeaways:
Acronyms:
FACE = Family and Community Engagement Department
PEL = Parent Engagement Liaisons (You can find them at EVERY BPS ready to advocate for parents and students)

Nuggets of Knowledge:
1) Ask & Advocate- Families are encouraged to ask teachers and administrations questions when you don't feel comfortable about a communication or decision you receive that will impact your student's educational experience.
2) Language Barriers - There are over 60+ languages spoken by students enrolled in BPS. Families have the RIGHT to request a translator (other than the student) to ensure accurate communication.
3) Family Engagement - Starts at home! The task of making sure your students arrives to school everyday is ENGAGEMENT! Let's make sure our students show up ready to learn. The act of simply showing up means THEY ALREADY WON!
4) Connect with FACE - Visit The Website! https://lnkd.in/gQF8Qzhi

Now you know what you gotta do... mark your calendar to tune in next week to EduTalk LIVE! on Wednesday, September 11th at 6pm. Remember - Knowledge is Power, and POWER is in our hands!

The speed of the fluctuating labor force over the years has been surprisingly fast. The U.S. Bureau of Statistics reports that in 2020, unemployment peaked at 14.7% due to the impact of COVID, yet it gradually dropped to 5.9% in 2021 and is now holding around 3.6%.

Despite the low unemployment rate, many people are still struggling to find stable and fulfilling employment. This is especially true for those with minimal educational attainment. Believe it or not, U.S. jobs that pay their workers wages that meet or exceed the Federal Poverty Guideline are still heavily dominated by those fortunate enough to have obtained a college degree, even for many retail and entry-level positions.

Despite these facts, some companies in both the IT and private sectors are challenging the status quo, and creating new opportunities for individuals with unique talents. Power Shift Consulting is at the forefront of this trend, providing crucial information about what's happening on the market and offering professional support to help you stand out from the competition.
