As CMSD leadership implements the “Building Brighter Futures” plan, the Cleveland Teaching Collaborative is partnering with the Cleveland Memory Project to create a space to archive images and reflections of the educators and students experiencing this transition.
Phase 1 (starting May 2026)
- Preservation and Archiving: we are collecting photographs and other related media about the transitioning CMSD schools and communities. Transitions like this are both historically significant and emotional times for communities. The primary goal of this phase is to preserve materials about the existing CMSD schools for the historical record.
- Our partners at the Cleveland Memory Project will preserve items in their digital collection where they can be accessed by anyone. The secondary goal of this phase is to create an archive of materials about the schools that can be used in future projects, reflections, and case studies about the “Building Brighter Futures” transition.
- Contact Molly Buckley-Marudas (m.buckley67@csuohio.edu), Shelley Rose (shelley.rose@csuohio.edu) or Marsha Miles (m.a.miles24@csuohio.edu) if you have questions or have a large batch of files you wish to submit for the collection.
Please use this form https://forms.gle/aFaWWdYxg8fQRMzx6 to submit photographs and other materials related to the existing schools to be added to the digital collection at the Cleveland Memory Project.
Phase 2 (starting September 2026)
- The Cleveland Teaching Collaborative will issue a call for proposals for educators and students to participate in written reflections, podcast episodes, and projects relating to this important transition in the CMSD community. Stay tuned for updates.
Contact Molly Buckley-Marudas (m.buckley67@csuohio.edu), Shelley Rose (shelley.rose@csuohio.edu) or Marsha Miles (m.a.miles24@csuohio.edu) if you have questions.
