PROVIDENCE – Rhode Island Mayoral Academies has undergone a re-branding with an updated look, fresh tagline and new website.
According to a press release, the Rhode Island Mayoral Academies has developed the new tagline “Opening Schools, Opening Minds” to capture the focus of its work.
The new website mayoralacademies.org was formed to create more connections with schools, create an accessible space to share and continue conversation, and to highlight the staff, teachers and students behind the organization.
The site is organized into two parts: Opening Schools and Opening Minds.
The Opening Schools section was designed with parents in mind, allowing for prospective families to access information on all mayoral academies in existence and in development. There is also a new eligibility tool which will tell parents, based on their child’s age and residence, what school option is available to them. Current parents also have a portal built specifically for their needs.
“Often, we get feedback from parents that they want to help and be engaged, particularly through advocacy work, but don’t always know how. The parent portal offers easy, actionable suggestions for engagement, and gives parents a platform to share their thoughts through words, photos, and/or video,” Michael Magee, CEO of Rhode Island Mayoral Academies, said in a press release.
The Opening Minds section of the website provides a space for sharing ideas, best practices and news, as well as a new blog and a special ongoing series called RIMA Staff Stories to debunk common misconceptions of the people behind “education reform.” The first two entries in the series feature RIMA Chief of Policy and Expansion Elsa Dure and RIMA Director of Next Generation Learning Partnerships Jessica Waters.
RIMA is also launching a “What Works” series beginning with the topic of recruiting and retaining excellent teachers.
“Oftentimes, great schools – district, charter, private, vocational – don’t have the time or the tools to share their best practices. Rhode Island Mayoral Academies believes these are missed opportunities for self-reflection and growth that can improve the collective efforts of all educators. Through ‘What Works,’ RIMA seeks to highlight mayoral academy lessons learned, and identify and report on best practices, while opening up a space for continued conversation and improvement on key education topics,” said Magee.
