Want To Help Chicago Kids Starting Remote Learning Next Week? These Organizations Need You

What Must Be Done!

Is anyone interested in being apart of a CPS support group for students and staff? The goal is to promote academics and attendance. You would contact a teacher once a week and help students struggling with their grades and attendance.

CPS: 18K-Plus Students Signed Up for Free Internet via ‘Chicago Connected’ Program

https://news.wttw.com/2020/08/25/cps-18k-plus-students-signed-free-internet-chicago-connected-program?fbclid=IwAR3hq11UwlY0zZLvEqo4qNb-Jc0eJQE2oDkMWvummUnxqtYwJFpOM2cPsdQ

More than 18,000 Chicago Public Schools students have signed up to receive free internet access through the city’s Chicago Connected program since the initiative was launched this summer. And with classes beginning remotely in just two weeks, city officials expect that number to continue growing exponentially. https://www.cps.edu/strategic-initiatives/chicago-connected/eligibility

From the start of this pandemic, every decision we’ve made has been guided by the data and advice from our public health experts. Today, we’re announcing that Chicago Public Schools will begin the school year with remote learning for Quarter 1. cps.edu/reopening2020‬

The district has the responsibility of meeting the
educational needs of every student it serves, and understanding the unique needs of ELs is essential, since
ELs make up such a large portion of Chicago’s students
and have the challenge of mastering academic content
and learning a new language at the same time. But the
statistics normally reported on ELs’ academic achievement, and used in school accountability, are based on
only a subset of students: those who are “active ELs.” 2
Reporting on only this subset of students, and failing to
report on all students who entered CPS as ELs, provides
a biased picture. Currently, publicly reported data does
not allow us to know how all students who began in CPS
as ELs, compared to those who did not, are performing
academically. There is also little information on how
EL students perform on measures of achievement other
than test scores.

Windsor Park Tech Girlz Workshops:

Connectivity makes a difference in many ways. In partnership with Leave No Veteran Behind and American Wide Broadband, Cambium Networks connected a Community Hub in the South Shore neighborhood in Chicago at Windsor Park Lutheran Church with high-speed wireless broadband and free WiFi. Since the network launched in 2016, the community has found ways to leverage the system to improve the lives of local residents.

While the system provides connectivity for job searching, homework, applying for services and video surveillance to provide a safe location, Cambium Networks employees recently extended the reach into the community.

• The Hub includes a food pantry with is part of the Greater Chicago Food Depository. As part of Cambium Networks’ seventh anniversary, employees in our Rolling Meadows office donated food to stock the pantry. Located in an area with no major food stores, this pantry is one of the largest distribution locations on Chicago’s South Side.
• Even better than providing free Wi-Fi, Cambium Networks team members showed young people how to install and configure a Wi-Fi access point (AP). TechGirlz is a nationwide organization that promotes technology among young women. 16 young people in the program attended the session that included unboxing, connecting, provisioning the AP and creating their own network with their own name and splash page. This simple session gave them the opportunity to explore and better understand the Wi-Fi and RF technology that is going to be a part of their lives. Regardless of their future, connectivity will be a part of their lives, and there is no better way to learn than with hands-on experience in a friendly environment.Wi-Fi and connectivity truly make a difference in peoples’ lives – both in the near term and over the long run.

THE TECHGIRLZ MANIFESTO

We believe:

1. All girls have a right to be part of the innovation economy.
2. Diversity in tech is ultimately an economic issue: companies perform better and even thrive with a more diverse workforce, and more women in tech can address the industry’s workforce shortage.
3. Technology is a creative skill. It conveys the right to create and requires technical skill channeled by vision, creativity and an understanding of the world around us. Girls should be embraced as valuable creative contributors.
4. Girls learn differently. Science proves that engaging girls early and with different instruction enables them to prosper in technology. Instead of forcing girls into accepted methods of technology instruction, we are redesigning how technology is taught to girls.
5. Community is critical. Leading by example allows girls to visualize their Path through technology and identify mentors – both male and female. We will work diligently to expand and connect this community on behalf of girls.
6. Technology is more than coding. There are an infinite number of tech-related fields and careers – those like farming that can be advanced through an understanding of technology, or video game and software development that require marketers and designers to thrive. All perspectives help to advance technology as a discipline.
7. It takes a community. No one person or group can offer a total solution to solve the gender gap in tech. We must all work together towards the common goal.
8. The Path is worthwhile. While the obstacles to becoming a woman in tech – and then remaining a woman in tech – are innumerable, the journey is an important one that is ultimately fulfilling to both the individual and the larger community. We will continue to inform, educate and champion this Path to help make it easier on every girl that sets out upon it.
