As we step into the new year, we want to thank our incredible Cahn Family, partners, and supporters for their unwavering dedication. Together, we've made a lasting impact, and we’re excited for the opportunities and growth 2025 will bring. Here's to continued growth, collaboration, and making a difference in education and leadership. Happy New Year! #cahnfellowship

Pathways in Technology Early College High School showed 9 years ago that 9th graders who entered high school NYC Department of Education with no academic screening, no tests for admissions could earn a 2-year STEM degree from The City University of New York City Tech, CUNY with no remediation and be first in line for jobs with IBM There are now 15 states and 28 countries that have replicated our model and many more are enhancing skills through IBM's SkillsBuild formerly Open-PTECH https://skillsbuild.org/ Rachel Rosen, MDRC "We believe that CTE leaders will be really interested in the positive impact that we're seeing for students who are participating in P-TECH. P-TECH 9-14 students signed up for dual enrollment programs at higher rates, attempting and earning more college credits than the comparison group students by the end of four years in high school". MDRC October 2023 P-TECH 9-14 Pathways to Success Implementation, Impact, and Cost Findings from the New York City P-TECH 9-14 Schools Evaluation New findings in this report indicate that the P-TECH model increased students' postsecondary degree completion, particularly for male students, and boosted internship and dual enrollment rates, even during the pandemic. "By the end of the first year of postsecondary education, 2.6 percent of female and 1.8 percent of male P-TECH 9-14 students had earned degrees, compared with virtually no students from the comparison group, of either gender. These impacts for both genders are statistically significant". "Male students who had the chance to attend P-TECH 9-14 schools were more likely to attain college degrees than male students assigned to other kinds of schools". https://lnkd.in/ekka5Ppc www.ptech.org

Wishing everyone a joyous Kwanzaa!

Don't forget to listen in to another groundbreaking conversation with Elizabeth Klerman, a renowned professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and physician at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Klerman's fascinating research delves into the critical impacts of being awake after midnight on human physiology, mood, and performance. Her work bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and practical application, using mathematical models to explore how our circadian rhythms and sleep cycles shape not only our health but also our effectiveness as leaders. We explored: What are the risks of late-night decision-making for leaders? How can understanding circadian rhythms optimize leadership success? What actionable strategies can leaders use to harness the power of sleep science? This isn’t just a conversation about science—it’s a call to rethink how leadership and productivity intersect with the biology of rest and alertness. Dr. Klerman’s insights will inspire you to lead with greater clarity and resilience informed by science.

Board Member Spotlight! Welcoming our board members today for their retreat! Grateful for Kirsten Busch Johnson, who believes investing in great school leaders is the key to thriving schools. #CahnFellowship

At every quarterly team retreat, we love engaging with our partner school districts. This time, while Armonk wasn’t a partner district, we still wanted to support the community – so we donated to the local Toys for Tots program! A big thank you to North Castle Public Library in Armonk for helping us spread joy one toy at a time!
