WWW.GRLZRadio.ORG- "Where Girls Are Heard and Respected"
About GRLZ Radio
The GRLZ Radio, Broadcasting & Music Production Program is a nationally recognized radio station and after school program which gives young women a voice in their community. A first of its kind violence prevention and girls' leadership development initiative, GRLZ radio allows adolescent girls to gain technical skills, build a positive identity, and speak out on issues that are important to them. The station broadcasts daily on AMRadio with all aspects of production, programming, and on-air activities orchestrated by the girls themselves.
Background: GRLZ Radio was created out of crisis in the Bowdoin/Geneva neighboorhood of Dorchester, Massachusetts at a time when violent crime was skyrocketing. Confronted with a sense of marginalization in the larger society, girls from the neighborhood started to express their concerns about their lives and their future. The youth approached Boston Mayor Thomas Menino with a desire to create a more positive image of young women and an outlet for the voices to be heard. Through an extensive collaboration, and armed with an Advisory Board of influential women in Boston's media industry, GRLZ Radio was born.
Population Served: GRLZ Radio's target population is teenage girls between the ages of 12 and 19. The girls are representative of the ethnic, linguistic, and socioeconomic diversity of the inner-city neighborhoods in which they live, representing primarily Haitian, African American, Cape Verdean and Latina cultures. Additionally, GRLZ Radio's peer training and community outreach components allow the program to reach more youth and affect the Greater Boston community on a much larger scale.

The Teaching, Learning and Leading Survey
As you may know, all teachers and administrators are being asked
to complete a survey of teaching, learning, and leadership conditions
in Massachusetts public schools. The Teaching, Learning and Leading Survey is sponsored by a coalition including Governor Patrick, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, every education association and various business and policy organizations.
The survey will focus on issues of time, empowerment, leadership,
professional development, and facilities and resources that affect the school climate and impact student learning. The Governor and policymakers want to hear from educators directly about these conditions; the data will be used to inform decisions from the state to local levels. More information is available here.
For the survey data to have an impact, it is essential to have a high
completion rate in each school, district and for the state. School results will not be reported unless 40% of the staff responds to the survey.
All responses are anonymous and confidential. To that end, the survey has been designed so that there is no link between individuals and their responses. The vendor conducting the survey does not have any information that identifies individual educators.
To learn more about the distribution of the survey, see the BTU webpage for instructions as to the who, what, when, where and hows of participation.
