Neubauer Fellow Baltimore-Hagan Leads Collaborative Efforts

Rudolph Blankenburg School, led by LeAndrea Baltimore-Hagan (2020 Fellow), focuses on high expectations, community partnerships, and parent engagement with a solid foundation of social and emotional learning. Blankenburg utilizes a social-emotional learning team, including a dedicated social emotional leader. They devote 30 minutes to daily morning meetings, utilize a relationship map connecting high risk scholars with an adult who supports them in the building, and partner with professionals to maintain a daily presence on site. They also ensure instruction is rigorous and standards-based and prepare students for college and career. “We want to make sure that we’re giving our scholars the best opportunities to prepare them for their future.”
