THE ESSENTIAL JOURNAL FOR EDUCATION Education Leaders Today has over 20,000 readers throughout the US. Our readership profile is comprised of private school business leaders (Principals, Board Members, Headmasters, Finance Directors), and federal, state and local government leaders who have demonstrated long term success and the will to survive in times of rough economic conditions. Our readership varies from leaders of small schools (150+ students) that operate locally with budgets of $3–$10 million annually to large universities (1500+ students) that operate in multiple locations with budgets exceeding $100 million annually. Our readers reflect the thought leadership of the education industry and the vendors that enable these schools to achieve unprecedented success. Our readers have the decision making authority and purchasing power at the schools they run. Collectively our readers are distinctly responsible for spending several billion dollars annually on services, salaries, materials and other products. Companies such as yours have a unique opportunity to showcase your products and services to these influential leaders. Your message is important and should be directed to those who are making the buying decisions. Education Leaders Today understands that relationships are the core of any successful business. Businesses do not exist in a vacuum. They are forged and guided by the strengths of their relationships. In the education industry, understanding this principle is what separates true industry leaders. Successful directors understand that maintaining and continuously developing solid relationships with not only parents and community leaders (i.e. their “customers”), but also with vendors and contractors plays a pivotol role in the shape of their school’s growth curve. We provide a forum for not only the exchange of groundbreaking information between cutting-edge decisionmakers, but also for strenghtening the links in the supply chain.

RESPONSIBILITY & DEDICATION
E3
ach morning the students, teachers, and administrators from Community preparatory School join together to recite a daily affirmation that includes the lines, “This day has been given to me fresh and clear. i can either use it or throw it away.” it reflects the spirit of responsibility and dedication that emanates throughout this 3rd- through 8th-grade private school based in providence, Rhode island. Dan Corley, head of Community preparatory School, founded the school in 1984. he started with 25 students and 49 Education Leaders Today Fall 2009
a dedication to providing a private school that would foster excellence in education for low-income students of mixed ethnicity. That philosophy continues today with 152 students, 34 percent latino, 24 percent African-American, 17 percent Bi-racial, 15 percent Caucasian, 7 percent Asian, and 3 percent NativeAmerican. Diversity is one of the keys to the school’s uniqueness. As is the high expectations for students. The school puts a good deal of responsibility on students, encouraging them to be self-directed learners. in 1996 the faculty adopted a Responsive
Classroom ™ approach that balances teacher-directed instruction with child-initiated learning. Students have “portgolios,” in which they set goals for themselves during conferences with teachers and parents at the beginning of each trimester. Ninety percent of the students receive substantial financial assistance for the $11,800 yearly tuition. The school depends on an 80 percent endowment to meet its $2.3 million operating budget. tuition covers only 20 percent of that budget. Most traditional private schools reverse those numbers with about 80

Headmaster Dan Corley discusses how Community Preparatory School succeeds by teaching the value of responsibility and dedication to its students
to 90 percent coming from tuition. Community preparatory School’s life-line is donations. however, that endowment is being threatened by the current turbulent economy. Within the past year, donations have dropped 30 percent. “there’s just no sense of what the future will bring in terms of the stock market. My guess is that it (endowments) will be a challenge for the next few years,” he said. But Corley is optimistic about the security of the school in the future, saying that strong, responsible fiscal management is the key. There are
business people on the school’s board and every year the school brings in more than they spent. one of those people is Dr. Robert W. hahn, who helped found the school and was Corley’s roommate at Brown University. hahn, who lives in Washington, D.C., has served as a senior staff member of the president’s Council of Economic Advisors and has worked as a consultant to government and industry on a variety of issues involving regulation and privatization. Community preparatory does receive title i funding and under the government’s new stimulus package. That could go up 51 percent in
the next two years if the stimulus funds will make it into non-public schools, Corley said. Corley hopes continued local and national press attention for the school’s innovative teaching and dedication to serving low-income students will help invigorate the flow of money. local television stations have highlighted the school’s calculator club and investment club. links on the schools website (www. communityprep.org) enable visitors to view the press clips. Students in the calculator club are shown rejoicing, arms raised in the air as they calculate Education Leaders Today Fall 2009 50
