Access to a Sound Basic Education
- 1. © Education Resource Strategies, Inc., 2018 NC Commission on Access to a Sound Basic Education February 20, 2018
- 2. ERS is a national nonprofit that partners with district, school and state leaders to transform how they use resources (people, time, and money) so that every school prepares every child for tomorrow, no matter their race or income. Every School. Every Child. Ready for Tomorrow. 1
- 3. We believe…. ▪ All studentsdeserve a great education tailored to their needs. ▪ One-school-at-a-time reform is not enough; we must redesign school systems to create the conditions for all schools to succeed. ▪ It’s not just about how much you have, but how well you use it: districts can restructuretheir resources to meet their strategicgoals and schools’ uniqueneeds. 2
- 4. ▪ What does a state funding system need to accomplish? ▪ Understanding “adequacy” ▪ What would it mean to allocate resources equitably? ▪ How might a state system support excellence and efficiency? 3 Agenda
- 5. Funding systems can enable high performance 4 Equity Adequacy Excellence Efficiency

Teamsof teachers whowork together to execute a collective vision for excellent instruction, and their own professional improvement. A“one-size-fits-all” teaching job. Roles and assignments that matcheach individual’s unique skills and expertise to neededroles. Personalized Time & Attention Standardized class sizesin “one-teacherclassrooms.” Groups of teachers and students that vary across subjects, activities and students. Rigid time allocations. Flexible schedules that allow timeto vary with needs ofstudents. WholeChild Investments in culture and social-emotional support that remove resourcesfrom coreinstruction. Investments that are embedded within and reinforce the school’s core instructional work. 24
