Question for after-school and summer program leaders.

Which role is hardest to fill at your program right now?

A. Site coordinators and leads
B. Frontline staff and group leaders
C. Staff who support students with disabilities

On our Career Board, about one in four open education roles is in special education, so we suspect C comes up a lot. We'd like to hear it from people doing the hiring. Which letter is yours?

Hiring for your program this fall? Check what everyone else is paying first.

5,976 of the 7,342 open roles on our Career Board list a salary, across 1,283 employers. That includes after-school and out-of-school-time jobs, not only classroom roles.

Before you post a site coordinator or group leader opening, search the same role in your state and see what the programs near you are offering. If your posting pays less or asks for worse hours, you'll know before the applications dry up.

What role are you hiring for right now?

Something every teacher is asking about right now: how much AI use in the classroom is actually okay?

Districts that answered this early, with a real acceptable-use policy instead of an informal understanding, are seeing far fewer awkward moments this fall.

We put together a plain-language starting point for districts still working this out.

Is your first 30 days actually working, or does it just look like it is?

Swipe through 4 quick diagnostic questions covering IEP service minutes, behavior incidents at transitions, nurse caseloads, and evaluation timelines.

Save this and come back to it every week this month.

Question for the education community:

Why do good teachers actually leave? Not the ones who were struggling, the ones everyone agreed were great.

The data points to something less dramatic than most people expect: unclear support, thin professional development, and feeling like the first year has no safety net.

We have been hearing this same pattern from the districts we work with. What has your experience been?

Looking for your next role in K-12 or out-of-school-time programs? The GSW Career Board is free to browse, updated weekly, and open to every educator, not just people already in our network.

Educators shouldn't have to wonder where to look. We built this so you don't have to.

Check it out, and tag a friend who's job hunting this fall.

Question for the education community:

If you have noticed your school talking more about budget this fall, you are not imagining it. Enrollment shifts and funding uncertainty are shaping conversations in a lot of districts right now.

We have been hearing this directly from the districts we work with. Has your school communicated anything about this yet?

If you run an after-school or summer program, this one is for you.

On September 1 we opened our Education and EdTech Grants Database to everyone. It is free, and there is nothing to buy on the other side of it.

Here is the problem it solves. Funding for K-12 and out-of-school time programs is scattered across Grants.gov, SAM.gov, the Federal Register, fifty state education agency websites and a long list of foundations that post to nowhere but their own pages. Checking all of that every week is a job. You already have one.

So the board checks for you, every day, and puts it in one list you can filter by deadline, category and who is eligible.

Right now it holds 76 open opportunities. Eleven of them are written specifically for after-school and 21st CCLC programs. Fifteen come from foundations you would never find on a federal site.

You can save the ones that fit and set a reminder so the deadline comes to you.

Tell us what state you are in and we will point you at what is open there.

Question for the education community:

If your child's school lost a few dozen students on paper this year, would you expect anything to change in the classroom?

We are hearing from the districts we work with that enrollment shifts show up first in staffing decisions, not in class size right away. Substitute coverage gets tighter. Specialist positions take longer to fill.

What has your experience been as a parent or staff member this fall?

School starts this week for most districts nationwide.

Three things the highest-performing program directors we work with do differently in the first two weeks:

They do not wait for something to break before scheduling a review. They schedule it in advance and protect it.

They communicate their fall operations plan to staff in writing before the first day, not in the first staff meeting.

They identify the two or three specific metrics they will use to assess program health in October, and build the data collection for those metrics now.

The school year is not the planning phase. August is.
