Dear Families,

The state legislature has passed next year's budget and it appears funding for public cyber schools was untouched.  Thanks to all who sent letters to set the record straight, your efforts have helped make a difference!

Please read some of the letters HERE...  and send one of your own to your local paper - It really makes a difference!

Be sure to visit the PA Families for Public Cyber Schools website http://www.pacyberfamilies.org/ where they have many resources to help you show your support for Cyber Charter Schools..


CEO/Principal chosen for NSDC Academy

A huge benefit for Achievement House and an honor for Dr. Grande

The CEO/Principal of Achievement House Charter School, Dr. Alexander Grande, III, and his wife, Marcia Grande, the Guidance Counselor for Upper Perkiomen School District, have been chosen by the National Staff Development Council (NSDC) to participate in the prestigious “NSDC Academy of 2010.”  Having competed and  been selected in a rigorous application, screening and interviewing process for acceptance into the Academy, Dr. and Mrs. Grande will make a 2.5 year commitment to improving their respective schools and district.

The National Staff Development Council is the largest non-profit association in the world committed to ensuring success for all students through staff development and school improvement.  NSDC's purpose is to help every educator engage in effective professional learning every day so every student achieves.  The organization also emphasizes that all educators have a responsibility to learn in order to improve student performance.

Dr. and Mrs. Grande were chosen for their effectiveness in being active leaders of learners within their own organization, as wells within community and civic organizations.  Through the academy experience, they will have the opportunity to learn and gain additional expertise to transform their schools.  They will also be connecting with national and international leaders who share a common passion about improving the teaching/learning process and learning through professional development.  The students of Achievement House will reap all of the benefits of the skills that Dr. and Mrs. Grande will be able to garner from their membership in this prestigious educational association.

Key competencies which will further enhance Dr. and Mrs. Grande’s leadership capabilities and skill sets to improve student learning will include: (1) refining leadership, collaboration and problem solving skills; (2) gaining clarity in forming and implementing new ideas; and (3) using learning and research-based processes to transform learning, work and the culture of their respective organizations.

We wish Dr. and Mrs. Grande our heartfelt congratulations and wish them every success as they endeavor to complete the NSDC program.
