00:00:16.116 --> 00:00:17.183
IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE OVER THE

00:00:17.250 --> 00:00:18.651

THERE'S A LOT IN IT FOR

>> THIS IS A BIG INITIATIVE, A

00:00:56.256 --> 00:00:59.959
BIG EFFORT ON THE PART OF IPS.

00:01:00.026 --> 00:01:02.095
GIVE US A THUMBNAIL DESCRIPTION

00:01:02.162 --> 00:01:03.863
OF WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

00:01:03.930 --> 00:01:05.799
>> REALLY ABOUT MAKING SURE AS A

00:01:05.865 --> 00:01:06.933
DISTRICT WE'RE PROVIDING A LOT

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.002

SPECIFICALLY WITH THE FOCUS ON

00:01:13.907 --> 00:01:15.308
MAKING SURE WE ARE REFLECTING

00:01:15.375 --> 00:01:16.876
THE DIVERSITY OF OUR STUDENT AND

00:01:16.943 --> 00:01:18.778
STAFF POPULATION, SO INCREASING

00:01:18.845 --> 00:01:20.847
THE DIVERSITY OF STAFF BOTH AT

00:01:20.914 --> 00:01:22.682
THE TEACHING AND LEADER RANKS

00:01:22.749 --> 00:01:23.283
AND ACROSS STAFF.

00:01:23.349 --> 00:01:24.984
>> HOW DO YOU DO IT?

00:01:25.051 --> 00:01:27.253
GIVE US AN IDEA OF SOME OF THE

00:01:27.320 --> 00:01:29.255
ELEMENTS OF THIS INITIATIVE THAT

00:01:29.322 --> 00:01:31.524
YOU HOPE ARE GOING TO KEEP

00:01:31.591 --> 00:01:33.693
PEOPLE IN THE DISTRICT AND ALSO

00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.562
ATTRACT NEW FACES IN?

00:01:35.628 --> 00:01:38.765
>> TWO OF THE INITIATIVES UNDER

00:01:38.832 --> 00:01:40.800
PROVING WHAT IS POSSIBLE IS THE

00:01:40.867 --> 00:01:43.937
INDY TEACH APPRENTICESHIP, A

00:01:44.003 --> 00:01:45.939
PROGRAM PILOTED OUT OF CRYSTAL

00:01:46.005 --> 00:01:46.339
HOUSE.

00:01:46.406 --> 00:01:47.607
TO GROW AND EXPAND.

00:01:47.674 --> 00:01:49.008
THAT IS GOING TO DECREASE A LOT

00:01:49.075 --> 00:01:51.244
OF THE BARRIERS TO THE TEACHING

00:01:51.311 --> 00:01:54.280
FIELD THAT WE SEE ACROSS THE

00:01:54.347 --> 00:01:55.081
LANDSCAPE, SPECIFICALLY ONES

00:01:55.148 --> 00:01:56.616
THAT IMPACT DIVERSE POPULATIONS,

00:01:56.683 --> 00:01:58.351
ONE OF THE WAYS WHICH WE'RE

00:01:58.418 --> 00:02:01.855
HOPING TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN

00:02:01.921 --> 00:02:02.989
DIVERSE CANDIDATES AND IPS

00:02:03.056 --> 00:02:04.190
PRINCIPAL RESIDENTS, THE ONLY

00:02:04.257 --> 00:02:05.892
DISTRICT IN THE STATE CURRENTLY

00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:10.530
TO HAVE A PRINCIPAL RESIDENCY,

00:02:10.597 --> 00:02:11.364
HOPING TO BUILD THAT STRONG BAND

00:02:11.431 --> 00:02:13.199
OF LEADERS TO STEP INTO A

00:02:13.266 --> 00:02:14.000
LEADERSHIP POSITION LONG-TERM

00:02:14.067 --> 00:02:15.802
AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE RESULTS

00:02:15.869 --> 00:02:16.169
FOR STUDENTS.

00:02:16.236 --> 00:02:18.304
>> REALLY, I THINK IT IS

00:02:18.371 --> 00:02:19.339
INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT YOU'VE

00:02:19.405 --> 00:02:20.640
REALLY -- YOU REALLY FEEL THIS

00:02:20.707 --> 00:02:24.277
IS BUILDING UPON WHAT HAS BEEN

00:02:24.344 --> 00:02:25.578
SOME SUCCESS AND A TALENT

00:02:25.645 --> 00:02:28.147
ATTRACTION AND RETENTION AT IPS,

00:02:28.214 --> 00:02:30.216
THERE HAS BEEN POSITIVE

00:02:30.283 --> 00:02:31.217
DEVELOPMENTS OVER THE LAST

00:02:31.284 --> 00:02:32.151
COUPLE OF YEARS.

00:02:32.218 --> 00:02:36.356
>> ABSOLUTELY.

00:02:36.422 --> 00:02:41.261
WE HAVE THE HIGHEST STARTING

00:02:41.327 --> 00:02:42.228
TEACHER SALARY IN INDIANA.

00:02:42.295 --> 00:02:44.163
WE HAVE THE LARGEST TEACHER

00:02:44.230 --> 00:02:45.865
LEADERSHIP PROGRAM IN THE STATE,

00:02:45.932 --> 00:02:47.901
AND WE HAVE A 12% INCREASE IN

00:02:47.967 --> 00:02:50.336
TEACHER RETENTION OVER THE LAST

00:02:50.403 --> 00:02:51.604
FOUR YEARS.

00:02:51.671 --> 00:02:52.872
>> Gerry: PART OF THAT -- HOW

00:02:52.939 --> 00:02:57.810
MUCH OF IT, ALEX, TOO IS

00:02:57.877 --> 00:02:58.077
AWARENESS?

00:02:58.144 --> 00:02:59.279
YOU JUST MENTIONED THERE, JUST

00:02:59.345 --> 00:03:02.382
THE FACT MAKING PEOPLE AWARE OF

00:03:02.448 --> 00:03:04.584
THOSE ELEMENTS, AND WHAT'S

00:03:04.651 --> 00:03:05.585
AVAILABLE, AND WHAT IT IS LIKE

00:03:05.652 --> 00:03:08.254
TO WORK IN IPS, THAT AWARENESS

00:03:08.321 --> 00:03:08.621
ISSUE.

00:03:08.688 --> 00:03:09.622
>> ABSOLUTELY.

00:03:09.689 --> 00:03:11.291
I THINK ONE OF THE PIECES WE'RE

00:03:11.357 --> 00:03:12.592
REALLY EXCITED ABOUT, WITH

00:03:12.659 --> 00:03:13.793
PROVING WHAT IS POSSIBLE IS THE

00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:15.295
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE WE'RE

00:03:15.361 --> 00:03:17.130
CONTINUING NOT ONLY TO DECREASE

00:03:17.196 --> 00:03:18.865
THE BARRIERS TO THE PROFESSION,

00:03:18.932 --> 00:03:20.166
BUT DECREASING THE BARRIERS FOR

00:03:20.233 --> 00:03:21.568
FOLKS TO ENGAGE AND CELEBRATE

00:03:21.634 --> 00:03:23.069
THEIR WORK IN THE DISTRICT.

00:03:23.136 --> 00:03:24.170
WE STARTED WITH SMALL INTERNAL

00:03:24.237 --> 00:03:26.873
PIECES AND WE'RE EXCITED TO

00:03:26.940 --> 00:03:31.077
CONTINUE TO ROLL SOME NEW

00:03:31.144 --> 00:03:31.477
INITIATIVES OUT.

00:03:31.544 --> 00:03:33.146
>> HOW WIDE IS THE NET YOU'RE

00:03:33.212 --> 00:03:35.248
GOING TO BE THROWING OUT THERE?

00:03:35.315 --> 00:03:36.549
CERTAINLY I IMAGINE YOU'RE

00:03:36.616 --> 00:03:37.984
LOOKING AROUND THE STATE OF

00:03:38.051 --> 00:03:39.953
INDIANA, BUT IS THIS A

00:03:40.019 --> 00:03:40.486
NATIONWIDE INITIATIVE?

00:03:40.553 --> 00:03:42.422
>> SO, I THINK OUR FOCUS REALLY

00:03:42.488 --> 00:03:44.157
IS GOING TO BE ON KIND OF OWNING

00:03:44.223 --> 00:03:46.326
OUR BACKYARD, HAVING A REALLY

00:03:46.392 --> 00:03:47.293
STRONG PRESENCE HERE IN

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:48.061
INDIANAPOLIS INITIALLY.

00:03:48.127 --> 00:03:49.862
WHEN WE FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOT THAT

00:03:49.929 --> 00:03:51.764
RIGHT, THEN YOU DEFINITELY CAN

00:03:51.831 --> 00:03:54.267
LOOK FOR US TO GROW AND EXPAND

00:03:54.334 --> 00:03:56.102
ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND CERTAINLY

00:03:56.169 --> 00:03:56.402
NATIONALLY.

00:03:56.469 --> 00:03:58.638
>> HOW ABOUT METRICS?

00:03:58.705 --> 00:04:00.206
WHAT WILL SUCCESS OF THIS

00:04:00.273 --> 00:04:01.808
INITIATIVE LOOK LIKE?

00:04:01.874 --> 00:04:03.977
>> SO, WE ARE TRACKING CLOSELY

00:04:04.043 --> 00:04:05.945
ON THE NUMBER OF DIVERSE

00:04:06.012 --> 00:04:07.981
APPLICATIONS RECEIVED, NUMBER OF

00:04:08.047 --> 00:04:09.382
DIVERSE HIRES, ALSO REALLY

00:04:09.449 --> 00:04:11.117
IMPORTANTLY IS THE RETENTION OF

00:04:11.184 --> 00:04:13.386
STAFF OVER TIME, CONTINUING TO

00:04:13.453 --> 00:04:15.455
SEE THOSE METRICS RISE, THEY'VE

00:04:15.521 --> 00:04:17.090
RISEN EVERY YEAR THE LAST TWO

00:04:17.156 --> 00:04:18.324
YEARS, HOPING WE CONTINUE TO SEE

00:04:18.391 --> 00:04:21.027
THAT PROGRESS OVER TIME, BUT

00:04:21.094 --> 00:04:22.695
ALSO JUST ANECDOTALLY, AS WE

00:04:22.762 --> 00:04:24.163
THINK ABOUT THE TRAJECTORY OF

00:04:24.230 --> 00:04:26.099
THE CAMPAIGN, LONG-TERM, NOT

00:04:26.165 --> 00:04:27.533
JUST FIVE YEARS, BUT TEN YEARS

00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:28.001
OUT.

00:04:28.067 --> 00:04:29.268
WHEN YOU ASK FOLKS WHAT IS A

00:04:29.335 --> 00:04:30.603
GREAT PLACE TO WORK IN

00:04:30.670 --> 00:04:31.537
INDIANAPOLIS, WE WANT TO BE PART

00:04:31.604 --> 00:04:33.106
OF THAT ANSWER, WE WANT TO BE IN

00:04:33.172 --> 00:04:35.274
THAT LIST OF PLACES THAT FOLKS

00:04:35.341 --> 00:04:36.542
THINK INDIANAPOLIS PUBLIC

00:04:36.609 --> 00:04:37.810
SCHOOLS IS A GREAT PLACE TO

00:04:37.877 --> 00:04:38.011
WORK.

00:04:38.077 --> 00:04:39.812
>> FINAL QUESTION, YOU KIND OF

00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:40.513
ANSWERED IT THERE.

00:04:40.580 --> 00:04:43.883
I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE VISION

00:04:43.950 --> 00:04:44.183
HERE.

00:04:44.250 --> 00:04:46.853
AND HOW LONG OF A TERM THIS

00:04:46.919 --> 00:04:47.120
MIGHT BE.

00:04:47.186 --> 00:04:49.589
SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS NOT A ONE OR

00:04:49.656 --> 00:04:51.257
TWO-YEAR DEAL, YOU'RE LOOKING AT

00:04:51.324 --> 00:04:53.826
THIS INITIATIVE WITH A LONGER

00:04:53.893 --> 00:04:54.027
LENS.

00:04:54.093 --> 00:04:54.394
>> ABSOLUTELY.

00:04:54.460 --> 00:04:55.862
FOR ALL THE CHALLENGES THAT

00:04:55.928 --> 00:04:57.964
COVID PRESENTED, WE WANT TO MAKE

00:04:58.031 --> 00:04:59.298
SURE WITH OUR TALENT STRATEGY WE

00:04:59.365 --> 00:05:01.467
ARE TAKING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO

00:05:01.534 --> 00:05:03.002
BE BOLD AND AGGRESSIVE WITH A

00:05:03.069 --> 00:05:04.270
STRATEGY THAT IS GOING TO MEET

00:05:04.337 --> 00:05:06.372
THIS MOMENT BUT ALSO SET THE

00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:07.740
DISTRICT UP FOR SUCCESS NOT JUST

00:05:07.807 --> 00:05:09.976
IN THE SHORT TERM BUT IN THE

00:05:10.043 --> 00:05:10.276
LONG-TERM.

00:05:10.343 --> 00:05:13.413
>> PROVING WHAT IS POSSIBLE, NEW

00:05:13.479 --> 00:05:14.814
TEACHER RECRUITMENT AND

00:05:14.881 --> 00:05:15.481

ALEX MOSEMAN, TALENT AND

00:05:19.786 --> 00:05:21.154
ACQUISITION AT IPS.

00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:22.221
INTERESTING INITIATIVE.
