Event: Reaching for Equity and Excellence: California’s Educational Progress and the Path Ahead

– Thanks, great early morning,
and welcome to today'' s event, funded by the Understanding Policy Institute and EdSource. I'' m Patrick Shields, the Exec Director of the
Knowing Policy Institute. Our goal today is to take an action back and show on The golden state'' s current journey from what was really a struggling state, one that on the national phase was labeled from having actually gone from very first to worst to now one of the
country'' s leaders in terms of our concentrate on top notch education and fair education and learning for
all pupils in the state. We really have come a long
method the last ten years. In a couple of minutes, Laura Hernandez from the Learning Policy
Institute is going to describe the seismic shifts in The golden state education in terms of funding and
liability standards, and who reaches make
decisions regarding our colleges. Laura'' s mosting likely to begin the discussion regarding these modifications and their effect on plan, on technique, on chances for knowing for pupils in the state, and ultimately on student outcomes.We wish to use

the information to take supply of just how much we have actually come, and at this time with new management in the state, to consider where we still require to go. The title of the report that we'' re publishing today is The California Method: The Golden State'' s Pursuit to Build an Equitable and Exceptional Education System. We make use of the term quest actively, because we have made terrific, excellent progression, yet we'' re still on that particular trip. As we'' ll speak with Laura and the other panelists, there ' s much work to be done. The current strikes throughout the state, including the one that started today in Oakland, underscore that we still have difficulties. We have also few grownups in our schools, our course sizes are too expensive, teacher turn over is inappropriate, there simply aren'' t sufficient resources yet in the schools.But as we think of these challenges and exactly how we ' re mosting likely to take them on in the next 4 years, we also have to bear in mind that the successes that we'' ve made over the last decade have been a feature of the hard job of advocates, area teams, specialists, and policy manufacturers throughout the state. And as we handle the
Before we get begun, I.
just want desire ask people individuals make sure certain they.
have their mobile phones off or on silent, to allow you.
recognize that the washrooms are right via this.
door right here, and if there is an emergency, which we have actually had in the past, there are exit doors below,.
right here, and via the lobby whereby you came.So right

currently, I'' ll turn it. over to Louis Freedberg, who'' s the Executive.
Supervisor of EdSource, Louis. – Greetings to all of you, it'' s an enjoyment to see you.
below today at this factor of change and hope, not.
just in The golden state on a series of issues, however in California.
education and learning particularly. This discussion comes at a.
time when, as all of you know, we have a new guv, a.
brand-new state superintendent of public direction, from.
whom we will certainly listen to quickly, and a brand-new most likely head of the.
state Board of Education, whom we will certainly also hear from,.
yet using another hat today. It also comes with a time of deep concern and chaos in areas,.
as Patrick simply described. In EdSource'' s home of. Oakland, we have a strike that regrettably just began today.But today,

we'' ll be looking.
at what has actually been achieved over the past 8 years.
and what has yet to be done, and what, I believe we would certainly.
all concur, what takes place in California issues. In Congress, at the very least in the.
Residence of Representatives, education plan is now.
in the hands of Democrats for the very first time in eight years. A number of weeks ago I met.
with Agent Bobby Scott from Virginia, who'' s chair of the Home Education. and Labor Board, and he'' s attempting to place a. break on some of the policies applied by the Trump administration over the last several years.But arguably what we. do here in California,
what I like to call the. country of The golden state, has a much a lot more straight effect on children. And what we do here forms. the lives of millions of kids,
one in eight public school. kids in the United States, which ' s in enhancement to. millions much more youths in very early education and. greater education and learning programs. Over the past eight years,. EdSource has tracked all these permutations, the ins and outs of the multidimensional. reforms that have actually been established by Guv
. Brown, by the State Board, by the great individuals over at. CDE, State Superintendent, and naturally by the. managers, teachers, and team at numerous areas and hundreds of institutions in California.I assume it ' s fair to say.

that there has actually not been a similar duration in. California ' s history where so lots of education and learning. reforms have actually been implemented under a solitary guv. I believe some individuals saw the. regional control moneying formula as something completely brand-new, yet really its 2 principle features,. the local control element of it and the moneying formula,. weren ' t entirely new.
And as for the funding formula,. Brown verbalized it in his State of the State speech in 2012, well that was a term that. Buber, the German thinker
, the key trick in the meeting, the meeting conference the teacher and in between student, and that is what he saw as.
his heritage is actually trying to obtain local control and.
his focus on the creative thinking that takes place in the class. All these works represent.
We have a possibility to lead the country on the education and learning front,.
This is an excellent minute to look. at what has been completed and where we require to go. On that particular note, I ' m going. to have Laura Hernandez, that is among the co-authors,.
the three co-authors, of this most superb. report that LPI produced, simply appeared this morning,
so allow me hand it over to Laura Hernandez.( target market praises )- Greetings every person. I am honored to be here in support of LPI and my fantastic co-authors. to share findings from this freshly published.
record that discovers much of the vital factors.
that Patrick and Louis simply spoke on around The golden state ' s progress in advancing equity and quality. And as Patrick shared,. we felt it was a crucial and prompt moment for us to take supply of The golden state ' s development. given the numerous financial and academic
shifts we ' ve. seen in just 10 brief years, several of which are highlighted here.So we ' ve gone from being in. the middle of a deep economic downturn, which was accompanied by. substantial cuts to education to really feeling the positive impacts of resurging financial development. And with that said growth, we ' ve implemented a lot more fair funding,. enhancing funds to all districts while providing added. cash to districts with big populations.
of high-need students. We ' ve additionally witnessed substantial.
adjustments in our requirements, credentialing, and.
responsibility approaches,'ultimately relocating from.
a much more punishing strategy to even more encouraging systems that elevate the importance of multiple.
steps of success And in this context, like. Louis just stated, we ' ve seen a step far from.
top-down choice making to a revolutionary technique. that seeks to equip local knowledge and know-how.
So all of these changes. have actually integrated to develop what we call a sea modification in California.Through the relentless. efforts of a random sample of companies
and people seeking to advance equity and. excellence in our schools, much of whom are right here today,.
we now see multiple policies assembling to construct. an unprecedented approach to thorough and systemic reform. And offering this distinct. minute that California
discovers itself in, our research. truly aimed to take stock of what development has been made. On one level, our research study. asked, just how did we get below? What initiatives caused the. enactment of these policies, and exactly how did
these initiatives. affect what we see today? In addition, we wanted.
to comprehend how practice and society has changed.
What impact has this. mix of plans carried budgeting, guideline, environment, involvement, and pupil
outcomes? And significantly, what. work stays to be done. What does The golden state still need to do to progress equity and. excellence for all students. To answer these questions,. we first conducted an extensive
, and I imply. exhaustive, literature review, where we determined motifs.
and encouraging techniques from our review of studies, policy briefs, and newspaper article on LCFF.
and other simultaneous reforms.And by doing this, we developed from.
the job done by researchers, consisting of those from rate, the. LCFF Study Collaborative, and the Getting Down to.

Facts II record collection, so we desired to recognize and value their payments to.
our collective learning. However we additionally supplemented our evaluation with 34 targeted meetings with vital decision manufacturers and supporters to specify on these
styles. and practices that arised. And in the full report,. you ' ll see that we detailed the decades-long efforts. of individuals and teams who led the method for this
unique minute and have permitted so. lots of to remain committed to'the gratification of its vision.But for the remainder.
of this presentation, I ' ll concentrate on the adjustments we ' re seeing in technique and areas for development. that our research appeared. With the neighborhood control moneying

formula, we have seen much more fair funding among The golden state. areas, which has actually countered the declines really felt acutely. after the economic crisis, and clearly recognized. the increased price it requires to serve high-need students. And with this acknowledgment,.
records indicate changes in area society,.
And with these moving.
Unified Institution Area, that was partnered with a. coalition of community teams, they ' ve
established a. pupil equity need index, a cutting-edge device that.

allows the area to equitably compute. and distribute LCFF funds to sites with concentrated need, and 2 of our panelists.
today will have the ability to talk with that effort.
Regardless of these positive patterns, there are considerable. Lots of leaders still really feel.
Other critiques call for state funding to be come with by more. In the sector of mentor and discovering, we see areas reinvesting.
in capacity structure, a crucial action in. reconstructing the state ' s expert discovering facilities, which was mainly decimated. after the recession. Districts, as an example,. have actually utilized funds to support the rollout of typical core, and to provide targeted specialist advancement. around LCFF target groups. But areas have also. allocated funds to allow
for even more teacher partnership. and job-embedded assistances, including accessibility to. teacher-leaders or coaches. An instance in the factor is the Chula View Elementary.
Institution District, that have actually leveraged their funds to codify an appealing system of. joint learning for its instructors, and we will listen to more from Dr.Francisco Escobedo. on our very first panel
today, who may be able to talk more to that. Another crucial pattern that we. located in expert learning are the growth of learning networks, so networks that permit. districts and regions to methodically share. knowledge across areas to be able to stimulate constant enhancement. Some examples are Math in Common, the California Collaborative. for Educational Excellence ' s expert learning networks, but the Instructional Management Corps, as well, which our panelist. Danielle Letts will certainly be able to talk to, is an additional promising discussion forum for this sort of discovering exchange.And with these expert changes, we do see some adjustments in guideline. We have a growing body.
And with expanding attention to college and occupation readiness,.
Like with source. equity, numerous obstacles stay to improving teaching and learning. Although we have intense areas, we see gaps in top quality and access to rich. expert advancement, suggesting there is. still a lengthy road in advance to reconstructing the state ' s expert discovering framework. Inquiries also stay around. supports for LCFF target groups. While research study points.
to raised focus to English students, foster. young people, and low-income students, some recommend that areas. are still dropping
short, and others, as well, factor to.
the demands of various other subgroups not called under LCFF, like'. trainees with unique requirements, or African-American pupils,.
The lack and its coming with turnover has actually resulted in the hiring of. In enhancement to mentor and discovering, the spotlight that The golden state.
has placed on college climate, with that said we see proof.
We see districts
usingMaking use of Areas are likewise investing. And below our record highlights the job of San Diego Unified and.
district, which they have actually done by piloting' corrective justice, performing expert. development, to ultimately develop a framework to support.
whole-district rollout.But we likewise attract focus.
to the needed usage of climate surveys, so. devices that are garnering more comprehensive viewpoints and can clarify climate efforts in institutions. And here we keep in mind the encouraging.
work by the Corps areas, which have actually been included. in a number of speed reports around social psychological. finding out and just how studies can be translated and.
made use of to educate action. So while we ' ve seen strides.
in college improvement, California still drags other states in
class dimension and the. arrangement of solutions.
We likewise remain to see. students in the state ' s highest possible poverty districts. with considerably much less accessibility to employees who provide.
emotional and social supports. Making use of environment data.
stays an area of development, numerous hold questions concerning study roughness and their consistent execution, but
they additionally point to. the demand for assistances for schools and areas. to aid them analyze data to make tactical improvements.And along those lines, research.
points to the total need for recurring expert.
advancement around school climate. While leaders and instructors. who ' ve made their qualifications under the state ' s changed. educator standards report even more exposure to subjects.
related to institution environment, they still demand more development around supporting positive. college atmospheres. With California ' s important. for local choice making
and area engagement, we are seeing that district leaders have

broad support for these interaction requirements, as recommended by one recent research study where 75% of surveyed district leaders agreed that neighborhood involvement.

assisted make certain that district objectives aligned with regional requirements'.
And with this enthusiasm for involvement, study is showing that. areas are producing a lot more opportunities and. online forums for stakeholders to provide their input.
One more dynamic that. Teams such as Families in Schools and Californians for Justice, that function with traditionally marginalized.
The size and complexity. of district LCAPs is commonly and largely.
Mentioned as the obstacle to fuller interaction.
likewise district ability itself stays restricted, making.
it difficult for them to realise the state ' s vision. In many circumstances,. minimal area ability have made it hard. to include varied voices and even led some districts to skip to even more transactional types of engagement, those highlighting. details dissemination as opposed to real discussion among companions.

Some researches likewise direct to.
What results is the state.
creating in this brand-new context? Throughout a variety of outcomes,. we see California trainees making progression, however adequate. job still needs to be done to boost quality and. equity in our institutions. So we see evidence of this. in California NAEP scores, whereas The golden state when.
placed in the bottom five on math and reading, the state now ranks between 35th and 35th,. and its typical scores near nationwide standards. While that mirrors.
enhancement in absolute and loved one

terms,. there is still adequate area for growth and voids in.
efficiency in between trainees of shade and white equivalents continue. Also significant is that
. analyses of state examination ratings identify comparable patterns in.
accomplishment and accomplishment spaces. We see comparable trends in college graduation rates, so prices have actually progressively increased given that 2010 regardless of the mild dip we see as an outcome of the new calculation.
solutions instituted in 2017. But at the exact same time, spaces.
And this is a vital. Dr.Rucker Johnson, in his Getting Down to Facts II record, which he can speak extra.
And these patterns hold real. for suspension and expulsion. We see a stable, and in. some situations considerable
, improvement in this. field, which has resulted in raised knowing hours for pupils, specifically African-American young people. At the very same time, punishing. technique methods remain to overmuch. affect pupils of shade, recommending that
even more work. is required to make certain schools are comprehensive.
and responsive to all. What does this mean for the road ahead? Through our searchings for, we. suggest that California remain the course on its.
Main amongst these is financing. We suggest that the state. California should improve its plans to raise the competence of its formula and need to enhance the.
likewise clear locations for development, the state ought to develop.
upon its existing assets and bright areas to develop
. a much more thorough expert learning structure, and the continued. growth and investment
in networks for professional learning can be a vital part. of that course forward. The continuous.
teacher lack remains to threaten a number of the promising efforts that the state and its. areas are beginning on, making plans to. construct a stable, varied, and well-prepared workforce. a critical top priority. In closing, we do see. considerable progress in California in addition to considerable demand
. Therefore for the remainder. of our occasion today, we want to involve you and our. audio speakers in abundant discussions regarding the roadway in advance in our continuous mission to breakthrough equity and excellence. Thank you for your time,. and without further ado, I will certainly turn it over to.
( audience praises)- Thank you, Laura, for sharing. I desire to acknowledge the.
lead author, Roberta Furger, who is mosting likely to be. regulating a later panel. How we landed where we. are today in education and learning ' s a large task and it ' s a. tale that needs to be told.Many people know Roberta. in a variety of ways, yet she began
out as a journalist, therefore the informing of the story is well instantiated in the lengthy trip that we ' ve got here with numerous, many, many remarkable narratives along the method and we value having. that wide vision. It ' s specifically true currently. with the new management we have with education in this state. And this brings me to
our keynote speaker, that far better to assist us start to look ahead than our brand-new State. Superintendent Tony Thurmond. Tony has a long performance history of advocating for institutions and kids.
through civil service, from his 20-year job as a social worker to his time as a setting up member in the California legislature,. where he did something about it on a wide range of. assistances for youngsters,

to his most current.
election as 28th California State Superintendent. of Public Instruction.Tony is an advocate for all kids, and specifically those positioned. outermost from possibility.

In EdSource'' s home base of. California ' s background where so numerous education and learning. On that note, I ' m going. With California ' s critical. It ' s particularly true now.He has an abundant schedule to
assistance those dedications. He'' s additionally a remarkable buddy, and a papa, and husband, I was talking to him earlier this early morning as he was obtaining his youngsters off to institution in Richmond, where they were avoiding on a vacation during their break to feed immigrant children on both sides of the southerly The golden state boundary. Which'' s the sort of heart Tony has and that he has actually developed in his very own youngsters and that he will certainly establish in the work that we do on behalf of youngsters in this state, Tony. (audience applauds) – Greetings.
( target market reacts) I recognize we can do better than that, greetings. (target market reacts) – Greetings, Tony.
– Oh well, hi there, hello Linda, thanks. When the guv gave his State of the State address, was that last week? You know, time is flying by, it'' s a month and a fifty percent at work, and nothing broken yet, hopefully.I had the most effective

seat in your house, remaining on the assembly floor as the governor spoke regarding his option to be the new chair of the State Board of Education And Learning in Linda Darling-Hammond. Thank you Linda, and I'' m fired up (audience applauds).
to collaborate with you. I'' m appreciative to have. come to the legislature at a time when we had the. local control funding formula and I understand that Dr. Curtis has belonged of that structure and fantasizing that up. As a person who was on.
a college board in 2008 when the economic situation was probably.
the most awful we'' ve seen, my first night being vouched.
I cussed a whole lot of negative words, also, right before that took place. I just assumed this can'' t be a good thing.
And they'said, well, we. know it ' s poor for kids, yet we ' re going to ask. you to do it anyway, since the state'' s making us do it.

I took concern with that said, I. thought if it ' s poor for youngsters, we have no company doing it.We have to have the.
political will to discover means to assist our youngsters, and the good news is,( target market
praises). hello, well alright after that. Due to the fact that I ' d been on a. common council that was among 5 cities in our.
unified institution district, I understood that we might reach. bent on our council members in those five cities and. state, these are our kids.
And they came to our rescue. That is not the case anymore, and areas continue to struggle, and LCFF has actually indicated an excellent.
deal to institution districts who claim we can not do the.
job that you give without the financing to do it. And so I enjoy the framework of LCFF, I like the framework of regional control, I like the structure of LCAP saying we desire to engage.
companions and stakeholders, moms and dads, students, teachers,.
teachers, managers, all coming together to.
develop a paper that claims we can, as a community,.
prioritize the trainees that should obtain the added.
assistance that they need.To me, that is

equity. I enjoy that we have, last.
year, legislation that claims that LCFF should be.
changed to have even more money to sustain the areas that serve the lowest-performing students. I was honored to sustain that legislation, but we have so a lot more to do. We are where we are, and I'' m enthusiastic that this brand-new start, a new governor, a brand-new.
legislature indicates a time for us to come together as companions and claim that California will certainly blaze a trail which the very best means that.
we can lead is to move far from being 45th in the country, or 41st, you understand, people dispute is.
They claim you reveal your values by what you place in your spending plan, so let ' s put children that.( audience applauds) in the nation in per-pupil costs. I desire to simply supply thanks to all of you who are getting to for excellence.
you of what you do, because the six-year-old me. was a child who was the son of immigrants from Panama. My mommy was an instructor. that taught in San Jose.
My daddy was an immigrant. who came right from Detroit, Michigan. by means of Mississippi, it ' s alright to laugh,'. actually, it doesn'' t hurt. My papa offered in Vietnam,.
and I did not see my papa up until I came to be an adult. I located my papa online. My mother raised four youngsters by.
herself up until she might not. She was extremely sick, and.
when I was six years of ages, she lost her battle to cancer cells, and my brother or sister team and I got split up.Two remained in San Jose, the youngest 2, myself and my five-year-old.
brother got sent out to reside in Philly with.
a cousin that we never ever satisfied till we turned up on her front door. And she raised us also.
She worked two tasks and went to evening school.
to get her own education and learning. She elevated us on the complimentary.
lunch program, on food stamps, I'' m discussing food stamp.
promo codes, not the EBT card, and a whole lot of federal government cheese. I know a whole lot of you are taking a look at me, like, what is federal government cheese? It can be found in a huge ol' ' box. with thick plastic wrap inside and if you can obtain.
through it, it'' s the best grilled cheese sandwich.
you could ever before have. It'' s a public program. that really aided me, and I constantly joke that we.
consumed a lot government cheese that I assumed that USDA was a brand name. The point is this, the.
biggest public program that I ever before had a possibility to take part in was getting a public education. It actually conserved my life. When I believe concerning the.
sort of spaces and fractures that I might have dropped.
into, I am grateful that I had educators that counted on me, who stated that your life will.
be different than it started, that in spite of coming.
from modest starts, it was an education.
that opened up doors for me to come to be a social employee,.
spend 29 years dealing with youths, working in our schools, to get chosen to several.
offices, and I think of it every day exactly how very easy.
it would certainly have been for me to wind up in California state jail and instead I ended up as.
the state superintendent of the terrific state of California.We need to offer that to all.
6 numerous our kids. That'' s what getting to for equity has to do with, that is what this time around is about. It is time for us to claim.
that now we are going to put our words right into method. We'' ve claimed for years that we can close the school-to-prison pipeline if we provide every young adult top quality education before they start kindergarten, however yet, we still have a success space and a chance void that persists for African-American students, for Latinos and English learners, from children that come from low-income histories. It is time for us to put.
our cash where our mouth is and to state that we will.
give high quality early education and learning for every one of our students in our state. And I'' m honored to be in.
this office and assuming this workplace at a time.
that we have a guv that not just, we have a.
guv, get this all, we have a guv that.
, if you look at what the social.. solutions contribution was, that ' s 71% of the budget. When ' s the last time you.'heard a governor state,
we are going to take juvenile. improvements out of improvements and put it into a social service context? That seems like a framework for shutting the school-to-prison pipe. That seems like our momentum is currently. Numerous of you possibly were in. the assembly hearing the other day that focused on developing. universal preschool.
Do I have to remember the tweets that I put out about the record? I appreciate the report. I'' m pleased that the.
guv in his spending plan proposal has actually given even more cash to address the costs, to really enhance LCFF to.
show several of the rising costs of education, and to.
address the conversation around the price of pension plan. One of the lots of work teams.
that we are launching is a job group that focuses.
on just how do we recognize long-term funding sources.
of income for schools, for education.
( audience applauds) Why do I raise that up,.
because you all understand, in addition to I do, that when we have another economic.
recession, if we wear'' t have new irreversible resources of. income, whatever that has been created through LCFF and. through some of the points being proposed in the governor ' s budget, they wilL be devitalized,. and we will be having a discussion about cutting. Well, if it ' s poor for.
structural financial deficiency that impacts what we do.
educationally and programmatically. Some of you recognize that in.
2020, there'' s likely to be a tally action that takes.
a take a look at what happens with Recommendation 13.

Which suggests that there could.
be a kind of split-roll tax obligation that could create.
another 11 billion dollars for the state general.
fund, perhaps four to five, possibly even 6, billion.
dollars for K-12 education. I believe these are things that we need to be discussing. Currently please, someone resting.
in this room today, texting their good friends claiming.
Tony Thurmond just stated he wants us to get our taxes raised, that is not what we'' re speaking about. This step, as I comprehend.
it, as it is pictured, would certainly protect senior citizens, homeowners,.
and small-business individuals from paying a lot more taxes, but.
for big industrial homeowner, they'' d be asked. to pay their fair share, they'' d be asked to see the loophole shut that they have actually profited.
from considering that Prop 13 passed in the '' 70s. I don ' t understand about you, however. I think our schools can utilize that cash, and much more. And so if you appreciate creating, yeah, you should clap for that.
( target market applauds) She'' s the only person that ' s saying, oh, he ' s not going to tax obligation me.Look, if you''
re a. millionaire, or you possess a great deal of industrial residential property, well,.
You should be worried. But any person else, every other Californian who'' s in the working. course or middle course, who ' s worked difficult to sustain our economy, who ' s tightened their belt.
to say that we are a famiLy and that we collaborate.
to support our state and our economy, we'' re asking those individuals to do the very same thing. We can'' t do it alone. If you review the Getting.
To Information II record, you know that the number that we require to properly money education in the state remains in the billions, like hundreds. So we have to be looking.
at every sort of permanent earnings resource that we.
can to make sure that we can make sure all of our youngsters obtain a high quality education and learning from birth with greater.
education, because I would like it if we can change the.
narrative and quit having people fight over, well, is the.
cash entering into K-12 or is it going into greater education and learning, as for I'' m concerned,.
that'' s a false narrative.We ought to be

discussing.
money from very early education and learning, through K-12 education and learning,.
through college, due to the fact that a long period of time earlier,.
pupils in this state could obtain a greater education and learning,.
a high quality higher education for almost absolutely nothing. Now, we are seeing that even more.
of our pupils are homeless, and starving, and having a hard time to stay on top of the climbing cost of.
getting a greater education and learning. There'' ll be a million and
. a fifty percent tasks in technology in just a couple of years. At the price that we are.
going, we will just have half of the applicants for.
those tasks unless we make adjustments to guarantee that we.
have actually computer system scientific research provided via our schools from early.
education and learning with 12th grade, which our kids have.
innovation that works.I couldn

' t believe it.
when some trainees informed me that the way they obtain.
Since of limits in their neighborhood, access to wifi is when a truck with a hot spot draws up. This is California, we.
can, and we will do far better. We will certainly lead. We will grab equity. We will certainly reach for quality. All of our trainees can accomplish. I'' ll never fail to remember the moment.
that the billionaire individual informed me, they said< So we'' ve made a great deal of ground getting to throughout those levels. So let me quit there and mention some points that I believe we require to do in the future to eliminate what LPI said. I believe on the capacity structure, the scale of it is mind-boggling. If you take a look at our math ratings, they are not excellent, they'' re inadequate. And I ' m determining off the back of an envelope that we have possibly 120,000 educators who require better math preparation to instruct effectively to our criteria, that would certainly include a lot of the elementary educators and numerous of '' em in the center qualities, as well. We need a moonshot to do this. The sort of programs that we'' ve had for ability building of principals and instructors have been nibbling at the issue, but they'' re. not at the range that we require. I think another location. that difficulties me which we sanctuary'' t stated is special education. I might invest 15 minutes on. what the brief problems of '' em. We, naturally, have a. surging instructor scarcity, we have an obsolete government regulation, we never ever upgraded the money system so it'' s not really. effective and designed well, and we have a great deal of concentrate on procedures and not a lot of emphasis on. whether children are learning.Another area arising.

is alternate schools.
When we determined the. lowest institutions for ESSA, a whole lot of those were alternate schools with graduation prices listed below 67 %. And all of an abrupt there ' s. all these college areas phoning, just how do I boost. my different institutions? Used to be called, numerous. of them were called extension institutions, nobody. much knows at this factor.
Those are simply some of the areas. The biggest gap I would certainly say,.
We ' re operating under'the 1971 Stull Act, a 1971 instructor examination act. Currently the Obama administration, I assume, obstructed of this.
in regards to having the ability to revamp it smartly, however I think at some factor that needs.
to be on the agenda. Let me quit there and.
state that there was style and systemic thinking right throughout. – Mike, simply quick.
inquiry, desired just to ask your ideas on the LCAP, the local control and responsibility plan, which is such a central.
And do you think this. -Yeah, I think, and component.
formula did a whole lot of that. It ' s developing, it ' s obtaining
far better, we have brand new openness. needs'coming online from some spending plan language.
in the 2018 budget plan, and I think it incrementally obtains better.
We ' re still a work in progress. I recognize we'' re going to attempt to. Going to go to Superintendent Escobedo, I need to'' ve stated you'' re.
elementary areas in the state. These reforms that Mike.
Kirst was speaking around, I'' m asking yourself to what degree this has been a possibility.
for you to utilize resources that you could not have actually had otherwise to advance equity among your pupils. – Louis, you started this.
session chatting concerning the communication in between the.
teacher and the trainee, and our emphasis in exactly how to utilize these resources is to fortify that job in between the student.mr and that instructor.

Kirst discussed all the.
requirements that were embraced. I suggest, it takes time not only.
to recognize the standards, yet after that how do you.
carry out these requirements in the classroom? We invested $4.5 million.
to make certain that there is a master instructor at each and every single website to really help the.
teachers in making implying out of the standards. And then just how are these.
standards then applied in the class? And these master teachers.
were picked by teachers within the site, '' cause. depend on is really vital. Teachers require to know.
that they have an instructor that they can ask to.
come right into the classroom, that they can educate,.
co-teach, with the instructor to learn new methods, as well.But having a master educator.
Could you just.
move your microphone a bit away from your face, pull it down. – Get a little enthusiastic regarding this. Having a master instructor is not sufficient, – [ Louis] Still, still a little. – I'' m still having problems? Okay, exactly how ' s that? Down further. Exactly how'' s that? Attractive.
– We'' ll try. -Okay, terrific. But having a master instructor ' s insufficient,- [ Louis]
Really, sorry,. relocate far from your mouth. – Oh boy, I'' m truly having troubles, maybe you can help.
– Aurea will certainly aid out. – I'' ll try not to move, how'' s that? Okay, how ' s that? Virtually there,'we ' ll offer it a go.
Well you see, having master. instructors at every website is inadequate, instructors need time throughout the training. day, not after institution, however during the educational day to meet. To meet, to intend, to.
recognize exactly how do you prepare these criteria, exactly how do you then create those vital treatment for students that may be English.
learners, African-Americans? And not only academically,.
Psychologically and socially.They ' re also given the time, being an educator can be extremely isolated. Many instructors remain within their class and seldom do they have. the chance to check out other teachers, to visit other classrooms. It is time where the. teachers and the managers are managed time to. check out various class within the college and. looking at other institutions that might have done better with trainees of similar demographics. So teachers are maximized. not just to work together, yet likewise to observe and share ideas, not just within the institution,. yet throughout the system. You know that time as. investment is vital
, crucial for teachers. And the type of
creativity due to the fact that these standards have significant ramification into rigorImagination we expect our youngsters to execute at the school.So we spent$ 5.8 million to work with art educators, music,. visual arts, dance teachers ahead in and maximize

the educators so they can satisfy throughout. the instructional day.
Our LCAP fund ' s regarding 25 million, that ' s a substantial percent. In addition,'I think. Superintendent Thurmond talked a little bit regarding the social ills.
In the last five years,. we have a 20% boost of homelessness, so we invested. about two million bucks with social workers and counselors to aid our foster children and our. homeless trainees, as well.Creating frameworks with the. county mental health solutions to aid our educators in our schools with the troubles. that our pupils face.
– Just need to ask you, is. this making a distinction? Are you seeing end results?- It ' s making a massive distinction. When you take a look at our target. groups versus the state, we practically increase the input. I think in the state with African-Americans around
. 30% usually excel or going beyond standards,. in our area, it ' s 64%. When you take a look at English.
students, you see almost dual the increases in going beyond. You see it in our Filipino population, you see it
in our homeless population, you ' re seeing it in our foster children, these double-digit gains. above state average.( target market applauds). Say thanks to'you.- Yeah, round of applause.- And once again, it ' s hard work, however we afford our teachers.
to be absolutely experts.

We manage our educators to be leaders, to create their.
specialist advancement as they observe what ' s. taking place at their website. We purchase fortifying that. teacher-student communication. We develop that assistance. system to help our students with the problems that they. discover in their neighborhood
, and especially with all. the political climate of expulsion, been very, really tough.
– And just quickly on those millions that you bought all. these other programs, was that through additional.
In various other words, what.- It ' s usually via our.- Okay, great, with any luck.
Aurea, I ' m going to come back to you, yet I ' m going to miss to Danielle Letts. Allow ' s remain in the schools. You have actually'been working with the Instructional Leadership Corps. I ' m wondering if you could. simply tell us a bit concerning that, and how vital is, do you believe', the role of networks are,.
Educational Leadership Corps is the best-kept key in California, ' reason every time I chat concerning. I ' m actually happy to be. It ' s a joint job in between the California Educators.
Organization, and range, and the National Board.
Source Center at Stanford.- Stanford Facility for
Opportunity,.
– Okay.- Okay, yes, I always fret about that.
And the concept is teachers. I ' ve been to I wear ' t recognize just how.
Having those possibilities for teachers to function and share with
.
for educators in the state.And I believe the last numbers. I saw were we ' ve reached over 100,000 educators in.

California, which is incredible.
And what I ' m seeing currently is. my district, particularly, a pair years earlier, we didn ' t have any kind of specialist development. days built right into our schedule. They were'all either. summertime or after institution.
That ' s a restricting chance.
for professional advancement.'At 3:30 in the afternoon.
In The middle of summer season, there ' s only so much you ' re going to get.So having a possibility to. – I show in Union College District, which is in East San Jose. Those 3 specialist advancement days, it ' s actually in our.
Instructors have input in what those professional growth. days are mosting likely to appear like', what are we mosting likely to be doing.The last couple years, the. bulk of those sessions have actually been
run by teachers, some training instructors, some

teachers, I ' ve done a few, we ' ve had. other teachers come in, and it ' s been a truly.'positive experience.
And what I ' m seeing from. teachers, and the comments I receive from teachers,. due to the fact that they can ask me, so when you
do this with. your children, what occurred? Or I attempted this,
yet this happened, ' cause all of us know, lessons wear ' t constantly go right the very first time. To 'be able to have that comments, or to have somebody you can go talk to. I obtain emails each day,. hello, can you send me that task you did, or I attempted this, however this took place, what do I do? To be able to develop those. partnerships and share with educators has actually been incredible.- [Louis] So simply exactly how does it work? You

' ve got a network. of instructors, you satisfy, or is it virtual, how does it work?
We ' ll be fulfilling in Santa Clara. We satisfy two times a year, when.
That ' s instructors from? – All throughout California. -And that ' s where we.
Some areas may have had, or some teams might. Or if you ' re running right into. And after that from that you have a resource of, you know what, this district,.
this group in this area is doing this, contact them, and pull in the resources by doing this. So it'' s just been a. actually great way to share throughout our state. – [Louis] And the amount of educators are involved currently roughly? – It'' s simply over 200,. it varies and varies year to year, but it'' s regarding 200 to 250, and a few of the instructors are.
now instructional coaches, some have gone right into management, some teachers have left, some.
brand-new teachers have come in, but it'' s just over around 200. – [Louis] Okay, so there'' s undoubtedly space for development in this, right. Are there other networks like.
this, or is this a new version? – It'' s the just one I understand like this one. I'' m really proud of it and speak concerning it, and anything we can do.
to urge this concept of educators teaching educators,.
and supporting educators with what'' s working well in our class and gaining from each other.

– Because I assume the.
function of partnership has just been so crucial. I believe all the study.
shows that on multiple degrees. So if various other instructors desire to get entailed, do you need to use, or just how does it function? – There is an application process, and it started as a three-year job, that was five years earlier. Actually the ILC program.
itself is just competing one even more year, and our emphasis right now is getting to country locations, since we understand we have our districts and.
our colleges who don'' t have a great deal of sources nearby. How do you help sustain those educators? Yet after that also developing sustainability, so that when the ILC.
project itself goes away, exactly how do we still maintain that.
foot in and be associated with those specialist.
development choices and intending that goes.
Okay, fantastic. Now allow'' s go to the area degree. Aurea, you have actually been included.
in the Area Union, extremely associated with the.
trainee equity requires index. I assume a great deal of people found out about that when you initially proposed.
it, it got instituted, however exactly how is that functioning out, and discuss how that works? – So I'' m really happy to.
be below and to be a component of this conversation, and I wish to start by thanking the writers of the record, due to the fact that you did a really good.
job of raising up the voices of parents and students that, in my point of view and our.
company'' s experience, have actually gone to the center.
of every one of the academic equity job and the fight.
for instructional justice. The company that I function.
for, Neighborhood Coalition, we'' re based in South Los.
Angeles, and we were founded in 1990 to take care of the.
influences of the fracture epidemic. Part of what the founders.
did from the actual start was stress that we had to.
arrange high school-age youth, African-American and Latino.
young people, and we did that due to the fact that we knew that it.
was going to take decades to undo the public and.
personal disinvestment and the the white flight that.
South LA felt the worst. School District, to adopt A via G college preparation programs. In South Los Angeles, what we discovered that also.
most of pupils wished to take place to. college and a college, the primary reason that.
moms and dads arranged and claimed, you understand, in fact we require. to have high assumptions we need to see even more roughness of. all pupils in our community to actually permit students and our families to make the option. Therefore students and moms and dads.
And so for us, this was a. actual opportunity to arrange pupils and parents. And we came in union. Kim, you ' ll listen to from him a little bit later, and we.
bring light and brighten what living into equity.
And so we assumed that this.
the research, and the data, and we collaborated to construct.
a trainee equity need index that actually considered scholastic
indicators that likewise considered. community signs, due to the fact that we think that. colleges are a representation of the area that trainees.
go to, and that we need to check out them as one in the exact same, and so the pupil equity. need index additionally includes area signs,. direct exposure to gun physical violence, and
asthma rates.And for us, the trainees. and parents led a project that concentrated on an inside.

and outside approach, where on the inside we were actually getting the LAUSD management to recognize. why this funding formula is a smart way of actually. targeting resources that benefit the students that produced the extra dollars,. and on the neighborhood
side truly creating the. understanding and the education of why these new targeted. bucks would certainly make a distinction for high
– and highest-need. trainees in the LAUSD. – The board did assign some funds to these institutions that you recognized as having the biggest demand?- So in 2014 when it first passed, the.
We really sued the.
8, 2018, moms and dads and trainees organized and they.
and highest-need schools starting in 2019-2020
, so. it features cash, yes. -Okay, well this is. something other districts could
assume about in terms. of targeting those funds, even extra particularly to the schools that actually need the funds.
I ' m mosting likely to go to your, I wear ' t. learn about companion in crime, however David Rattray, that ' s. at the Chamber of Business. David, you ' ve
been really. entailed in these reforms right from the start,.
– Sure. I desire to take a minute,. I have to state this seems.
like an incredible minute that if we created a blank notepad and stated, that are 2 of. the best instructors of our
generation in the United States? It ' s Mike Kirst and Linda Darling-Hammond and to have Mike,.
( target market praises) to have actually Mike having actually served.

once more these 2 individuals and they influence a lot of.
people, and I ' m one of those that whatever type of Mike.

and Linda tell me to do, that '
s what I do, which is. why I ' m sitting here, also,'' reason Linda claimed obtain your.
butt up to Sacramento. To your question,.
Louis', some 'of you recognize, but I was a service. executive for around twenty years, type of classically trained,.
you might say, as an MBA, and attempted to run an affordable.
company or companies.

Our LCAP fund ' s regarding 25 million, that ' s a substantial percentage. Aurea, I ' m going to come back to you, yet I ' m going to avoid to Danielle Letts. In The middle of summertime, there ' s just so much you ' re going to get.So having an opportunity to. Or I tried this,
but yet happenedTook place ' cause reason all know, lessons don Put on t always constantly right the first time. I ' m going to go to your, I wear ' t. know concerning partner in criminal activity, however David Rattray, who ' s. at the Chamber of Business.I had the ability to retire young,
white male opportunity does that, and I began attempting to help education, and I was kind of sensation
like I got on the shore falling to the ocean and
education and learning got on the incorrect wave, you'' re on the wave going out, and I got on the wave trying to find in.Because as I

experienced
in my company occupation, we had relocated in the US from
an age that was kind of like the commercial age of
monitoring that constructed our economic situation in the '' 50s and ' 60s, it had characteristics like
it was really administrative, it was extremely dictatorial, very
top-down hefty control of power at the top of companies,
disempowerment at the front line. We were hyper-competitive,
we took on outside firms, but we additionally
competed inside, we were stressed with sticks and carrots, kind of the concept that individuals
are not inherently motivated and they require extrinsic
inspiration to do well.Famously, a CEO, the majority of
you are probablY also young, yet Jack Welch, who ran
GE and was seen as one of the most effective Chief executive officers in the
United States in the '' 70s and ' 80s, he relied on required ranking,
and that you would place every worker every year, and you discharge the most affordable 10%, that that was some terrific management approach, fire
those bad workers each year. And in the '' 80s as the Japanese from, truly taking a web page from a terrific American monitoring specialist,
Demming, the Japanese truly led with high-performing groups and positive job societies,
and attempting to produce assistance for individuals on
the premise that people were intrinsically encouraged
and magnum opus cultures used that inherent inspiration and people brought their A game.And it was

stunning to me
when I found out as I moved right into education and learning, you were kind of, instructors were taking the web page
You recognize, with API, AYP,. To me it'' s been so.
of you have actually turned California right into a location where we are.
pro-people, we are pro-teacher, we'' re pro-educator, we'' re pro-kids, and we'' re structure favorable job cultures.And that '

s what LCFF and LCAP, and truly changing an API,.
which is a reductive ranking framework, to a dashboard.
that provides details so individuals can utilize their very own internal knowledge and intrinsic motivation to operate in groups. It'' s just so a lot more favorable. The job ' s fifty percent done and I.
think currently the next eight years, we'' re going to go to the high. point on capital for children.( target market applauds)- I ' d simply ask, simply a. quick follow-up, David.
Where do you see that dispute, or, I put on'' t know, that dynamic? Is the company area. Are we doing what we need.
to do to get trainees to the workplace better prepared? – Well, I suggest it'' s a. all-natural propensity, I think, for any of us, whether.
it'' s the organization area kind of criticizing higher ed,. or greater ed condemning K-12,
K-12 condemning early ed, to. type of unwind and claim, they weren ' t all set when they involved me.
I think the bright side is. an increasing number of people all are stating, we ' re all in this together.
It ' s concerning collaboration,.
both ordered, you might claim as you. development with education and learning right into a labor force, but likewise horizontally, as like Neighborhood Union or.
various other companions work together.Most organization people that I take care of, they ' re surprised with the kids. that we have in The golden state, and they know that. they ' re lucky to have ' em entered into their 'workplace, and they require to get more involved, and not to relax and wait. till they graduate,
as well, they require to collaborate with. colleges and teachers and help youngsters get. internships and task watching and come in the class.
as a business person throughout the whole.
developmental experience of a young adult and.
not to type of relax and wait until they graduate.
university and then grumble.

– [Louis] You assume Guv.
Newsom'' s focus on college, from cradle to profession, is going.
– I think so, yeah. I believe we'' re in a large turn in The golden state, and it ' s an actually excellent turn,.
cradle-to-career education, however I believe those leads are high.

– Okay, terrific, we have a couple of questions I'' m going to ask the panelists,.
'' reason I assume we have around 10 one-minutes and minutes answers. I'' m asking you concerns,.
which truly we can spend an hour answering, so it'' s an obstacle. One concern, there'' s. been a great deal of discussion concerning development and continuing challenges within the K-12 system, what do you see as the partnership between.
shutting education spaces and dealing with the deep.
differences in opportunities outside of college? – You should take that. – And I'' m simply mosting likely to. 'readjust your mic again
. ' Cause I can see what the. issue is there, fine. Okay, hang on one second. I believe that ' ll do it. That must do it.
– So to rephrase the. inquiry is what are we doing to mitigate the opportunity. voids outside of the college. – [Louis] Is that feasible? – Yeah, and it is feasible. I assume even more than ever the opportunity gap is on that entire social-emotional field. I think as colleges we require.
to reconsider that academics in addition to the emotional.
and the social facet is really vital. Our students require to discover.
exactly how to settle problem, just how to collaborate as teams.In our area, we are. investing 15 minutes a day to instruct those certain. skills of communication and cooperation explicitly to make certain that index rises. We ' ve actually checked our kids on social psychological knowledge. And one of things that we. discovered out is that our children, they feel lonesome in institution, they put on ' t really feel linked in college, they wear ' t really feel that an. adult pays attention to them. So focus for this year.
I think that ' s one way to. -I think later on I understand. John Kim ' s going to chat regarding institutions and areas initially, yet for us there is certainly.
Also Los Angeles Unified. School Area does not have
, tasks a shortage in. the next three years.
So there ' s a requirement for school financing, however The golden state, we ' ve done. pretty excellent at taxing ourselves in various other locations, whether.
it'' s to develop brand-new parks, whether it'' s to take a look at. public safety, right, but we haven'' t done a. good task of making use of formulas like the student equity.
require index to direct those resources to areas.
that have a greater demand. And so in Los Angeles,.
we'' re actually collaborating with the Advancement Task and LA Voice to get the Board of Supervisors to embrace a justice equity require index.
that takes expense financial savings from Prop 47 and from California.
jailing less individuals to target a few of those.
expense financial savings to communities that are experiencing.
higher levels of violence.So we certainly need to. have a neighborhood technique also to attend to requirement where.
And advise us what Prop 47 is. – So Prop 47 reclassified significant felonies, so pacifist felonies, to misdemeanors, which permitted a lot of individuals.
to be launched from prison and reclassify their felonies. – Okay, great, an additional.
concern I'' m mosting likely to ask Mike and possibly David Rattray.
can leap in on this, is anyone worried about the.
growing pension obligation, and exactly how is it impacting.
institution area'' s budgets now and going ahead? – Yeah, well, certainly.
individuals are worried concerning the pension liabilities.I think that we need to. reassess some of the fundamental
hidden elements there in. regards to how much time instructors require to function to obtain a.
pension plan, or managers, what the design of the.
I put on'' t assume we ' re.
– Well, I believe it does. We underfunded that for a. lengthy time, so that ' s why we obtained ourselves behind the eight-ball. I believe Jerry Brown did.
the best point to claim we require to begin to repair that, and deal with the legislature, yet.
I believe we over-corrected by putting excessive burden.
on areas, and insufficient new money right into the entire system. I think that'' s the start. (audience applauds).
I assume these are long-lasting structural.
things you have to identify, and we actually didn'' t face them, yet I think if we face them.
courageously and gradually over 5 or ten years and we.
put more cash in the system for several points, however that included, these are understandable problems.

– [Louis] Simply from the.
superintendent'' s level, this pension problem, is this a real?-'Oh, it ' s tomb.
It ' s undercutting the. progress that we ' re seeing currently with pension plan costs just. skyrocketing,'it ' s deteriorating a number of the new LCFF bucks.
that we have actually received in the past, and it'' s going to proceed. to boost to 2021, I believe and we'' ll see from there. When you look at the amount of money, I believe it'' s 70 cents per.
buck goes in pension costs for every new buck we.
get, that'' s significant. – While I have you, had.
a pair of questions about your master teacher program, I'' m mosting likely to ask Danielle,
. due to the fact that this has actually likewise been a concern, paths for.
educators, and actually freeing them up to use their skills. What really do they do, these master teachers in the institution, and how commonly do they satisfy.
and train other teachers? – Well let me provide you an.
instance of a normal day. The master instructor may when instructors are in partnership time.
been available in and reveal resources around to aid instructors.
with producing tasks that are linked to the standards.During a common

day, the. master instructor may be welcomed by a newbie teacher to assist. With class administration or exactly how to educate a details math ability, and either the master instructor will educate and the beginner instructor will certainly see, or they will co-teach together. So there ' s different structures. It could be in a regular. day that the master educator might do a walkthrough. with a group of instructors going from course to course,. observing three points, taking a look at the knowing. atmosphere, trainee activities, and instructor actions, and we. have success criteria for each and every. And afterwards the master educator. may likewise, along with teachers
, offer future expert development opportunities, as well. Those are three specific instances.- [Louis] Allow me ask Danielle. Letts, is this something you are, in your network, considering? Or is that an opportunity.
for master educators in the areas you'' re working with?-'It ' s difficult. I consider mine, and we.
have problem with searching for the time to make it function. '' Cause I ' m in the class all day, so for me to be out of my class, for also simply an hour,. ways someone requires to be with my kids.I ' m lucky that I have a.
really helpful manager, and if he can cover it, or obtain somebody to cover it, he will. We have a training coach part-time, so every various other week she'' s offered, yet once more you have to schedule her. The scheduling ends up being a massive problem. 2 years ago, we did a small lesson research study with a team of teachers,.
and the sychronisation that it took to get instructors launched to go observe various other teachers was massive, simply the quantity of discussions,.
and that can do this, and that could cover below,.
and attempting to collaborate all that, and that was for nine people.So I absolutely

value. the idea of time and
having that release time. and the partnership time,
since we put on ' t have enough. of that developed right into our days
as it is, and teachers. require that to be able to go observe somebody, to. go talk with someone, to plan with each other, to evaluate your information, and what does this mean,. where are we going to go next
. And we wear ' t have that. integrated in in a basic feeling. Like I stated, I ' m privileged where I'' m at to have my manager shot. to place in as much as possible, but between attempting to get.
below coverage, or attempting to get somebody else to cover it, there'' s all these things.
that are working versus it simply since of the means the.
system is currently designed.And I believe if we had

. something constructed in location where you had those opportunities,.
I can'' t also envision just how powerful that would certainly be for instructors, and afterwards consequently the pupils. – Well this relates.
quite to Mike Kirst, I recognize this has been one of your concerns regarding training, exactly how do we.
obtain expert advancement. I'' m going to actually. have you do latest thing, I did desire to just guys-,.
That'' s a key component of this.
those chance gaps.But Mike,

in terms of your concerns about the educator corps.
and obtaining what they need to do the very best feasible.
job, and simply in terms of what you thought, when.
you started on this, I mean to get these reforms in position, in actually a place that the.
state is really a country, are you feeling, just how are you.
feeling about that today as we hand over the lantern? – Well, in terms of The golden state, still really concerned about it.I think the LPI report has.
really the best directions, the range of it, and the moment. EdSource did an actually good.
article on are our instructors ready for the next.
generation scientific research requirements. This is an incredible adjustment, for specifically elementary.
and center college teachers. We'' ve overthrown the entire.
conceptual base of science now with a concentrate on not.
simply material knowledge, but interdisciplinary.
knowledge, using science, so below are these elementary.
instructors in their classroom, and here am I being in Sacramento, we'' ve done English language.
arts, math, scientific research, background, they'' re meant to.
be doing far more civics, and wellness, so I take a look at the.
regular primary instructor and the scope of what we.
have actually performed in rethinking and revamping what is most, what do students require to.
understand and have the ability to do? And so that'' s what
, I. believe, we need to step back and my only review of the LPI record is it doesn'' t have the scale. of it in it', it ' s so big.If we were Rhode Island,.
we could obtain people in this room and resolve these issues, but we have 350,000 approximately.
managers and teachers, rising, and it'' s truly. the range of it is still, I think, yet for us to deal with. – Quickly, one of the.
key issues on the table is even more money for schools. And I recognize I'' ve heard you.
share some irritation, yet this shows up in.
practically every discussion, there'' s no very easy fix to this. However, do you think we need more money? I suggest, due to the fact that we already as.
Governor Newxom mentioned, the Prop 98 monies went.
47 billion seven years ago to 80 billion following year,.
– Yes, we do require more cash.
near the national average. Where you'' re chasing your.
tail is the real estate prices rise too quick. Educators and administrators.
have to live someplace, so after that we change for.
It'' s got to be on the earnings side. Allow'' s see what happens.
and commercial residential or commercial property. The states that are in advance of us have a three-stool system,.
federal, state, neighborhood. We basically have actually a.
government and state system, the neighborhood residential property taxes, exhausted in your area and brought into Sacramento.
and we recirculate it. When you check out that.
we have real estate tax, yeah, however we manage.
Those 2 large parameters,.- On that note, we were. I truly wanted to give thanks to the 5 people here, this is.
what makes all of this job. This is why we are making.
Much for the style. -Okay, great morning. We ' re fortunate to have.
framework this following discussion, which is concentrated on next. steps for The golden state policy.
Before we start, I. want to introduce our visitors.
First, to my left, Heather Hough. Heather is the executive supervisor of rate, Policy Analysis for California Education And Learning. PACE produced the recent. Getting Down to Information II studies and will certainly share with us. a few of the key findings of those researches
. Rucker Johnson to her left. is an associate teacher in the Goldman College of Public Law at UC The Golden State Berkeley. He specializes in the. economics of education with an emphasis on the effects of poverty and inequality on life chances.Rucker will share around. his research on the effect of LCFF on student end results, and also the plan.
John Kim is the executive supervisor of the Improvement Project,. The Improvement Task is.
Component of a union that is advancing a brand-new income campaign below in The golden state, which. Member Patrick O ' Donnell. Education And Learning Board, Setting Up Participant O'' Donnell.
So first, Heather, for you. Research study has actually a played a critical duty in education plan making in The golden state, both determining need, and. additionally examining development. In September, rate released. Coming down to Facts II, 36 study studies. analyzing a variety of problems from the preschool to 12 continuum.
To establish the phase for this. -Delighted to. Across all of these research studies.
As my colleague to the. will describe soon,'there ' s some proof that. there declare modifications in pupil results,.
however additionally there ' s wide stakeholder support for.
the type of changes that we ' ve took into location,. the typical core standards, brand-new testing, the regional. control funding formula, the LCAP process.
We have a truly long. method to head to totally understand these chances, as we ' ve. been discussing this morning,
and there ' s a couple of key locations.
One is that we ' ve been. making investments in K-12, yet we have not been making. as strong financial investments in early childhood years.

I think we'' re in a large turn in California, and it ' s a truly good turn,. I'' m asking you questions,.
I wear'' t think we ' re. ' Reason I ' m in the class all day, so for me to be out of my class, for even simply an hour,. It'' s obtained to be on the profits side.And where we see that then,
as our students progress via the K-12 system,
is that our schools are actually doing a pretty excellent job of increasing pupil achievement, but when trainees step
right into our public system in preschool, the achievement
space is currently so large that our colleges aren'' t. able to close that gap.And that just truly factors.
to the requirement to purchase the early youth.
system, and truly to produce a system, where currently.
California does not have one compared to various other states. Even in the K-12 system,.
we have a very crucial demand to construct ability for.
the sort of renovation that we intend to see occur. The change from No Child.
Left Behind, from the API, to where we'' re at now is actually a shift to a continuous improvement technique. It'' s every person in the.
it'' s a really different duty than when someone said,.
your school isn'' t succeeding, do

this instead.We want people to be making.
choices concerning how to invest their money and to be able to examine whether those financial investments.
have actually worked. And that'' s a huge mindset shift,
. it ' s a huge architectural change, and that capability requires to. be developed in all of the degrees of the system.
And the last piece, which. we ' ve additionally talked about today, is around funding.
remain to relocate forward developing the ability to take advantage of every one of the possibilities that.
we'' ve been given up California. -Thanks a lot. One fast follow-up.
question, you discussed this a little, but where is there consensus around following actions from.
a plan viewpoint, and in what areas do we require more research to really assist educate following policy actions? – Great concern, so.
I'' ll promote this brief that we just wrote attaching the Coming down to the Truths research to the governor'' s budget.I would certainly claim that there'' s wide consensus in the broad strokes. Where there ' s not consensus.
is in exactly how we'' re mosting likely to make these adjustments. So while I believe that.
there'' s a really basic sense that early youth is a. location we need to invest, several of the stress that.
are still being reviewed are when we talk concerning very early youth, are we discussing seats,.
And those are 2 different conversations, and we need to be having both of those discussions all at once. I assume throughout any of these issues, there are similar types of discussions.
responsibility is a big issue. It'' s fantastic that.
we'' re placing some money as a state toward paying that.
down and easing stress for districts, but how.
are we going to solve the architectural problem that got us there. And a great deal of these solutions.
are difficult whatsoever, they'' re mosting likely to
require a. great deal of union building, a great deal of political will.
Among the Coming down. to Information studies estimated that we require a 3rd even more financing in order to effectively money our.
institutions, which'' s still much less than what some northeastern.
What are we going to do as.- And what regarding areas for even more study?- There are constantly, I. mean, I ' m a researcher, so it ' s a very easy inquiry.
I think there are a pair. One of the locations that.
And after that I believe as we start.
that, certainly, we require a truly rock-solid information.
system that aids us to learn whether we ' re making. the progress that we intend to.- Thank you.
Rucker, keeping with. the motif of research study, your research with Sean.

Tanner really supplies the very first analysis of the impacts of LCFF, and especially the increase in resources and spending adaptability. on student outcomes. Can you show us the. crucial findings from that job?- Yeah, thank you.
I ' m happy to be right here,.
I believe that when I assume about the concerns concerning access, I think it ' s important to mount where we started.In various other words, the. And it called for truly,.
And'so, LCFF when you think.
specific duration includes, it ' s LCFF, it ' s the boosts in state-funded pre-K and. transitional kindergarten, and then it ' s the brand-new systems of support.And these three are truly taking head-on the student

accomplishment. voids that are truly several of the pressing concerns.
These three policies,. with the LCFF dealing with the differences in.
financing, the transitional pre-K investments dealing with. the spaces in institution readiness on preschool access, and after that the 3rd concerning the new systems of. assistance is actually concerning targeted supports for
district enhancement efforts and really trying to develop that out. Currently, the reason I mention all. three is due to the fact that it ' s truly the synergy in between these.
In the rate of interest of. And what we ' re able to. File is that these influences don ' t take place overnight.
resources wear ' t make it to the classroom, well,. we shouldn ' t be expecting to see trainee improvement outcomes.
If a great deal of it is going. to the pension in the future, a few of the successes. I ' m discussing now will most definitely be undermined.But what we do find in.
Three or four years of
the rollout of LCFF,. That is after that translating right into rises in high college graduation prices, enhances in student high. And in certain, we ' re chatting about a thousand-dollar rise.
skilled consecutively in 10th, 11th, 12th, so. throughout the senior high school years, is resulting in regarding a 5.9 %boost in secondary school graduation.
rates, and in a similar way, we ' re seeing significant boosts. in numeracy and literacy, to ensure that a thousand-dollar. boost experienced in 4 successive years, eighth quality, ninth grade, 10th grade, 11th quality, that by 11th quality they ' re leading to a. 19 typical discrepancy. rise in math achievement.Now you might think, well, what is that? We ' re speaking about that ' s equivalent to about 7 months of learning,

and its about equivalent. to about 38 %of the average poor, non-poor accomplishment void. These are considerable progression. Now what you desire to. contextualize this is that Sean Reardon and others have recorded that California pupils,. especially middle-income and lower-income trainees.
are regarding an entire quality level behind their peers in various other states. And so, what that implies, a. entire grade degree behind, is that these voids are.
Currently, just to kind of take advantage of. ' reason I recognize I ' m short on time, they ' re pulling the.
transitional preschool to ensure that those.
investments in institution preparedness can be increased.
The 4 elements of. that that kind of
call for some serious interrogation. in terms of exactly how we manage this is that we have both, let ' s see, much less than half of three-.
and four-year-olds currently participate in quality. pre-K programs statewide. We have an issue with.
regard to the funding, with which, allow ' s see,.
Keep in mind that primarily 58% of child treatment and preschool employees. 90 %children in unlicensed kid care setups, 90%. Currently the reason I point out.
every one of this is ' cause the harmonies between. preschool and K-12 investments have actually to be considered together.
In various other job, we '' re recording that, primarily when those. And because I ' m method out.- No, that ' s fantastic, so we ' re.
hearing duration and time, these financial investments require to continue, and also we need to believe in a unified way about the pre-k to 12 continuum. John, the study shows,. as Rucker ' s chatted about and Heather, is that the spaces. in chances and results are closing, but they still continue. We also recognize that there is an
continuous requirement for even more funding, we ' ve. heard that a fair bit, more equitably spent to. continue to close those gaps.So John, a crucial concern. is, just how do we generate these sources, and I understand.
the Development Job is component of a coalition. progressing an initiative on the 2020 tally, can. you inform us a little regarding that effort? -Sure, so greetings everybody.
You obtain a sense of how gifted. Janet Jackson actually is when yoU have to work with one of these, so I appreciate that. You kind of can ' t do.
At the Development Task. California, one of the important things that we ' re rather clear regarding.
is that the political ecology of California has moved
. such that the old modes of fighting for justice.
have actually to be updated some.It ' s no much longer that traditional fight in between a pure good on the. outside, and a pure wickedness on the inside, it ' s no much longer

the Dr. King versus the Bull Connor sort of battles. We ' ve seen a lot of.
And several of them are our friends. And so as opposed to.
looking for poor actors, what we find much more worthwhile. and more impactful is to search for where. prejudices from generations ago had actually been baked right into.
systems, and exactly how do we currently root out the ghosts in those devices. When you look back, and.
in background, you can discover no scarier ghost, no bigger.
ghost, in our machine than Prop 13. Currently I bear in mind, I was 3. years of ages when Prop 13 passed, and I keep in mind believing,.
I ' m simply
kiddingJoking I was three3 come on. Today ' s panel ' s about scaling.
such as this, that actually their point was just how do we scale.
and maintain inequity.And their response was Prop 13. So when we think of. the reform of Prop 13 that is coming up, and let ' s be clear, it ' s

not possibly certified,. it has actually qualified, it qualified in December,. it ' s mosting likely to be on the tally unless something'remarkable.
happens, but it ' s going to be the
first point that you see after all the candidate ballots, it ' s. mosting likely to be the initial point that you attend change. this point for 40 years that has placed one arm. behind our back in regards to our state getting all set for the future. When I believe, and so. concerning it, I think about the$ 11 billion that. Can be coming in, sure, that ' s going to be substantial. I also consider what tale we '
re telling the future.What kind of state are we. going to be, since in 1978, the signal to me and. my generation was that this state was going to only.
be golden for some people, except all of us.
And what we ' re claiming. below is either by race, or by generation, or by. course, there was mosting likely to be lines reduce and people who.
And so what we ' re looking.
Now allow ' s be clear, the project was an excellently run campaign in 1978. They had three layers, Gramma ' s home, you wear ' t desire. Gramma to shed their home, there'was underlying and.
underpinning of racial appeals that the crowds of black,.
brown, and Oriental people are going to come take your own,.
Let ' s lock that off, yet truly the huge thing.
beneath all of that was that company.
It ' s actually the. And so, that ' s what
the campaign project aboutAround Let me simply finish by stating this, of the 11 billion, first, that ' s quotes of a few years old, so.
What we ' re checking out is a. 40-60 split of the income. 40% of that would most likely to
. K-12 and area universities, 60 %of that would certainly go back. into neighborhood territories, like areas, and cities,.
and unique districts, consisting of fire divisions,.
right, we need that. Of the 40% for education and learning.
dollars, it will certainly rest on top of Prop 98 dollars, and it will. be pooled right into a state fund that will certainly be distributed using type of the equity principles of LCFF, as well.And so we ' re checking out.$ 11 billion, 40 %of it

being dispersed to K-12.
and area colleges making use of equity as a concept.
And the last thing I ' ll state is this, we ' re in an unmatched. position with this campaign. We ' ve certified nearly. two years before the actual ballot. No proposal has actually done that before. We have two years to build momentum, educate the general public, there. are people in this space that really were not born. when Prop 13 was passed, I was three, but some. individuals were not yet born, and so we ' re going to have to.
do a great deal of public education and learning. The momentum is developing.
The energy is. phenomenal, and whenever, unfortunately among our school areas has a strike, it reignites. the public discussion about what we sanctuary ' t been.
providing for our institutions, and the response to that very difficult question a
great deal of time winds up we. require to reform Prop 13. Therefore we ' re really thrilled.
regarding the energy that ' s being constructed, the.
campaign is expanding, the coalition is growing,.
and so we ' re truly excited to lock arms with every person in this area to figure out exactly how we make. this modification, thanks.- So John, a quick follow-up.
One of the Coming down to. Truths studies that Heather referenced claimed that it would certainly take an additional 25 billion over 2016-17 spending to make certain that all pupils. had a possibility to fulfill the objectives established by the state. We ' re not going to get.
to that number overnight.So exactly how do we maintain progressing. equity even while attaining competence in financing.

stays a work in progression? -So one story I believe. of a lot is we were doing these community mapping. sessions in South LA.
I don ' t know if it was with our partners Neighborhood Coalition, or.
legs, he would certainly have to run as fast as feasible to reach school, ' reason he needed to avoid unsafe roads, 'harmful gangs, and simply. all these various other conditions because area.
Now I worry if my child is crazy at me as I ' m dropping her off at institution, just how she ' s going to do at college. This kid here, who has. And so one of the things.
Trainees that are based on just the whole kid, the entire household, and the entire community.We actually value this management believing about

the whole youngster, but we also have to truly be thoughtful about exactly how do we. And the point concerning the.
areas and schools initially reform on 2020 is that it ' ll. do deal with that other side of the ledger, as well.
It ' ll do work in terms of. how counties can change what these areas look like,
and not simply what ' s going. on in the classrooms.
I believe we have to. stop, I indicate we ' re doing a good'work reasoning. systemically about
equity, but just how do we start believing. environmentally concerning equity and concerning just how we bring. all these fights with each other, because it might cost 25. billion if it was simply the
colleges alone that was mosting likely to tackle all these obstacles, it might be less and more levarageable if we have all components of our governance functioning. on this at the exact same time.- Thanks.
Leveraging the whole system. to advance the whole kid. Tom, the research is.
clear, and we heard this a bit from Laura throughout her discussion, of the demand for capability building at every level of the system. In the most up to date control panel. release, as an example, virtually 400 areas were determined for targeted help. through the statewide system of support. The The golden state Collaborative.
for Educational Excellence plays a critical function because system. Can you show us your. prepare for attaching districts with the support they need to improve trainee possibilities and outcomes?- Sure, and as the other. panelists have stated, thanks for this opportunity. And thanks to the individuals in the space, they ' re actually
right here to. appreciate kids. Among things that I ' ve. experienced in this duty I ' m in my 8th month on
the work currently, exists is enthusiasm for children everywhere.Everywhere I'go,
we see. it in colleges and anywhere we go in groups, individuals are truly focused around trying to number.

out exactly how we ' re going to do a much better task for the youngsters that we ' re tasked with serving.

' reason I recognize I ' m brief on time, they ' re drawing the.- No, that ' s great, so we ' re.
Today ' s panel ' s regarding scaling. They had three layers, Gramma ' s home, you put on ' t desire. And the last thing I ' ll say is this, we ' re in an extraordinary.For those that don'' t know much about the California Collaborative for Educational Quality, we'' re in our fourth year of existence, and the first three years, we came with LCFF, throughout that time we didn'' t. have control panel information, we didn'' t have several years of information, we had new assessments.So during

that initial three years, my precursor, Dr. Carl Cohn,.
had lots of chances to experiment a little and.
possibilities to type of go in and try to think of exactly how.
can we make a distinction, just how could we construct capability. And so the work that we have actually been doing over the previous 3.
years, what I can inform you is some of that is ending,.
a few of that'' s transformed, and particularly where it'' s altering is as a result of the information that we have now. So when you stated the 400 institutions since have been determined,.
those 400 areas that been recognized, in.
our duty particularly when we were established,.
the law states that we were established to aid and advise college areas, charter.
colleges, and area workplaces specifically around assisting.
to implement their LCAP.In addition,

that language currently has actually transformed and likewise speaks about.
our function in having the ability to participate in what we currently call the liability system,.
the system of assistance. That is an essential function that we are.
playing currently, specifically. There'' s a handout, I don'' t. recognize if it ' s on your workdesk or not, but you ' ll see these, I wear ' t expect you to. review it, yet you can see there ' s
a version, and I. urge you to take a look at this version specifically, and it really defines our brand-new system. In our brand-new system of assistance,.
our function in specific in that is that the system now has been established. The system is focused on neighborhood control and you'' ll notice with.
these concentric circles is that whatever leads.
back to the district, and after that it takes the following layer out, and region workplaces in.
particular are designed and they receive financing.
to be that initial level of support for college districts.The following degree out currently are these brand-new, what we call, these geographical leads, which are area offices,.
That have some know-how in specific to make sure that throughout the state.
that every area office throughout these different.
geographic regions has the ability to serve the areas that they'' re asked to serve. So what we understand concerning county offices, and I know them well, I was a.
previous area superintendent is that every region office is different, similar to every district.
is a little different. Some have more capacity than others, based on dimension particularly. Therefore these geographical leads.
have this obligation to see to it that.
whatever the district demand may be that they can then be.
able to give a source maybe that their parent area workplace doesn'' t have that capability. In addition to
. that, there is a selection of other leads that have.
been moneyed in the state. There are equity leads, there.
are area involvement initiative that is new this year, there are brand-new SELPA leads,.
there are mathematics leads, there are a variety of various other.
leads that will certainly obtain funding that have some particular.
knowledge in an area.These geographic leads. are planned to be able
to make certain that they.
have access to those and know what those sources are, therefore that they can make.
sure that if an area has that requirement, they can get that. The example I constantly utilize.
is that where I was from in Shasta Region Shasta Area.
was a really white county, we were very bad, yet we.
had extremely couple of EL students. As an area office.
that was not a resource that I had a tendency to have. When we had EL trainees.
who came into the district that had some requirements that.
required to be served, I would commonly look to Butte County. Butte had even more of a migrant ed program, we would certainly look to them, we were coworkers. I collaborated with the region superintendent, we had a connection, and we.
would certainly share some sources. That'' s not the situation all over. Now what would occur is is.
that if there was a district in Shasta Area that had that same demand, yes, we could want to.
Butte, we might likewise seek to our geographical lead, we might additionally want to the other geographical.
leads, we might likewise seek to the new EL lead in.
certain to make sure that the district gets that resource.That ' s how

this system is built. Part of our function particularly is functioning with the Division of Ed is.
to really assist take care of that, actually assist bring these people with each other. Last week we had a conference.
with 80 folks in the room with all the leads in the.
area, all speaking about, fine, how are we going.
to make this system work? Just how can we make certain.
that we obtain that resource down to an area which any kind of district, if you'' re in Modoc, or if you'' re in LA, you would certainly have that same capability. A huge component of our role is moving to be concentrated around.
the system of support. One more vital duty that'' s new this year, we ' ve constantly had the ability,. the state superintendent has constantly had the
capacity. to assign us to a

district.So if there was an area.
in the state that they felt had some academic demands,.
the state superintendent could claim the CCE would certainly like you to go in and give some support. That happened last.
spring for the initial time in Inglewood Unified. Inglewood, if you don'' t. recognize Inglewood Unified, they have actually been under state.
receivership for the last seven years, which implies.
they have a state finance. They'' ve shed over 8,000.
trainees throughout that time, over half of their.
students during that time.State superintendent. connected to us and claimed, we ' d like you to go in,.
If you can help this district in the, see.
scholastic concerns or needs that they may have. On top of that, we had in Vallejo,.
so Vallejo City Unified additionally got to out to us, so.
the superintendent elevated their hand and said, we would certainly.
really like some assistance, we reached out to the.
county office, we asked the state superintendent.
to appoint us there, since when we'' re assigned, we can use our sources to help them. In the loss, AB1840 was created, so where currently the state law has now changed to where if any kind of area.
goes in receivership, we are automatically designated to go in and do some operate in that district.So that '

s four districts.
Currently in the state, so we are currently getting.
prepared to have discussions in Oakland, also in South Monterey. Therefore we now have this.
capability to where we'' re going in along with the county office,.
and the state department and various other people and.
sitting keeping that district and trying to find out.
what it is that we can do to academically help them to try to produce some.
systems and some assistances to help them academically. What'' s distinct regarding that is. that when these districts in the past have constantly. had academic concerns, there ' s not a district. in the state that ' s gone into receivership that. didn ' t have academic problems, that shouldn ' t surprise any one of us, right, they have a lack of resources. I think in maybe the next question, I can share a little bit. regarding a few of what we'' ve kind of viewed as we ' ve entered there and where some of those worries are

. -Yeah, among things you.
When we were speaking prior to today was that both, discussed.
because one-on-one support for an area, yet likewise statewide, the relevance of relationships.
– Yeah, this shouldn''
t be. We are trying to transform that system.
This entire system is for. everybody kind of functioning with each other, teaming up with each other to try to make some differences. You head the superintendent.
previously in Chula Panorama discuss cooperation.
and after that you listened to the example of the educator, where teachers are coming together. I can bear in mind as a district sup, when we initially began to.
deal with collaborating, I had teachers pertain to me and say, I put on'' t want to deal with that educator. I had some individuals go, I got points to do, I obtained my children to collaborate with,.
and it was time far from that.They didn '

t see that, they didn'' t see that that can really be
a. source to assist them improve. So we needed to really make.
sure that when we brought them with each other, that we.
supplied chances to develop trust fund, we.
supplied opportunities with some systems to assist them. So for example, when they collaborated, see to it that we had some.
information in front of them. We had chances for.
them to do some lesson research. We had to kind of put.
some systemic techniques in area to help them keeping that item. In our operate in particular,.
what we'' re searching for is that people and areas are.
working in seclusion commonly. They'' re utilized to attempting to resolve these problems by themselves. Which extremely fascinating is,.
is that despite our job, is some people invite us.
in, and various other opportunities we obtain invited in. In the very beginning,.
everyone'' s a little suspect on can we trust each other,. and what are you going to do, are you mosting likely to develop more work, just how are you going to help me? This frame of mind additionally is.
still a problem with folks, also around this idea of.
distinguished aid, and when county offices currently are expected to collaborate with a district,.
district'' s state of minds see that in the old system is, a status, there'' s glitch,.
you'' re going to can be found in and inform me that I have.
Thank you. Assembly Member O'' Donnell,.
How do you see the legislature balancing its essential policy-making.
role within a regional control structure, especially as.
it connects to establishing new policies and programs? – Thank you, and thanks for.
the possibility to be here.I assume first we need to.
look back when we speak about neighborhood control, and.
what neighborhood control isn'' t. My histories is that.
of a classroom educator, 22 years teaching middle and high school, and I can keep in mind,.
particularly at the K-8 setup, walking right into classrooms.
at 2:24 in the mid-day and every student would certainly have to be remaining on a number on an item of rug, there would be scripted finding out taking place, open court, keep in mind the open court days. Naturally, done in the name of closing the success gap, however I believe we know that micromanagement from Sacramento, trying to micromanage the class from Sacramento doesn'' t work.We attempted it, it didn'' t job.
What did we do, with. the aid of many individuals in this space, Dr. Kirst, I see you there, we generated the neighborhood. control moneying formula, and I'' m probably one.
of the primary supporters of neighborhood control in the state capital. I rest as the chair of.
the education board, and I can inform you I will certainly see.
a variety of expenses this year that are going to come ahead that seek to micromanage the.
class from Sacramento. There will certainly be bills.
that seek to restore our old categorical plan,.
where we had those 20 or two streams of financing. There will even be expenses.
that say every college needs to start right now or later, those are the sort of.
things I truly press back on, since we did that, it didn'' t job. I am very encouraging.
of the model of stating, hey, here'' s the bar,. right here are the resources, as well few, provided, too few,. Here are the sources, now fulfill that bar.And so truly

my duty, as I see it, I bring my class.
experience to Sacramento, is to protect that regional.
control moneying formula and offer it time to.
Pay attention, we have actually a.
thousand school districts, 10,000 schools colleges the state of California, we shouldn'' t be designing creating just how all act from the Sacramento levelDegree Taking.
that a bit further, we'' ve heard both concerning the.
breakthroughs and concerning the obstacles that exist, and I'' m. interested if you can chat a little about exactly how you see functioning within the legislature to enhance the reforms that have been established, and truly provide that.
path for the next one decade. – Well it'' s always turn on and educate. We obtain new members every 2.
years in the state legislature, in some cases in between, and my job is typically to take a seat.
with '' em separately, '' cause they
' ve going. ahead up with an expense, everybody wishes to do an education bill, '' cause they all think. they need to do something
. They have an instance of. a program that ' s functioning
in their regional district,.

the same kind of program. So really my function is.
To inform people, and then when it comes.
to the board level, it is a political.
environment, and I need to be sometimes extremely strong,.
and I'' m not afraid to strike the red button when something turns up and to kill a bill that I believe.
is mosting likely to be detrimental to the local control idea.

– Well thank you, I simply.
desire to advise people at their tables, if you do.
have inquiries, feel cost-free to place your hand up and.
a person will certainly pick them up. For every one of the panelists, so simply enter if you feel so relocated, we'' ve actually spoken with a variety of voices.
today, and that variety of interaction we understand is.
going to be key to maintaining and strengthening the job.
that'' s been started. Exactly how do we remain to build the capability of all stakeholders from.
the students, and moms and dads, and households, to the.
teachers in the class, and the district and.
state-level folks to actually be full participants in neighborhood.
control funding formula? Rucker. – So I just desire to jump.
know a few of the points that talk to that. One of things that I.
think the state'' s emphasis on local control, I.
believe a cautionary note is that it will certainly fall short if we put on'' t adjoin it with data systems that.
can inform what'' s functioning, why it'' s working
, to make sure that. we can replicate successes, and we can build a district'' s ability to notify and it spill over.
to finding out and innovation.Random acts of development. that aren ' t portable are really not so practical, so I assume that'' s a vital item. An additional item is to keep in mind that, in job I'' ve done previously,.
much healthier children are better learners, and.
it'' s vital to acknowledge that our physical health.
and mental health services, the provision of them in.
our The golden state school system is among the most affordable in the.
nation, which'' s really a vital component of,.
whether it be absenteeism, asthma, and various other points.
that impact finding out results to have that sort of wraparound services.Certainly other individuals can speak on that. -Yeah, I ' ll enter on. that, sorry, too.
We had a paper in Obtaining Down to Truths on stakeholder engagement. and area interaction.
Among the things that I believe is vital is educating those stakeholders on what this process looks like. and exactly how it ' s different.
In the exact same means that we ' re. chatting about the attitudes around continual improvement. needing to be there for teachers, for plan. manufacturers, it ' s likewise true for parents
, communities,. and institution boards.
I entirely concur with what.
I ' m going to push for it, or my child needs something various, although there ' s a. location for that, as well, however exactly how can a community.- Great, John.
– So before I began. And one of the things.
that you find out quickly is that there are those individuals.
that want to go out there and shine by themselves,.
Let me provide you one quick example. Tell people what SENI is. – The student equity.
project was regarding five years. LAUSD have five superintendents. because exact same duration. LAUSD had this kind of revolving.
door of superintendents and there was one moment.
What do you mean SENI, what is that? And so it was up to the community to bring that discussion back in and claim, oh really, you all had.
One of the things that.
systemic academic testimonials. What we'' ve discovered is that.
they have numerous strategies, there'' s not a lack of plans.
There ' s an LCAP, however the LCAP. is not an actionable LCAP'.
It ' s huge, it ' s. something that just possibly the area workplace degree individuals exist. Often they have a calculated strategy, their strategic strategy is because the LCAP'' s not functioning for them. Several of them have other.
reports from the fiscal crisis management help group,.
some have special ed issues, they have these numerous.
things that exist, and what we try to do is.
just truly have a look at systemically what are.
the systemic techniques that exist and what are.
the ones that do not exist? And afterwards figure out where.
is that capability lacking, and after that try to identify.
exactly how you can load the hole. I assume that'' s a major. piece, and in any kind of item of job'that we'' re doing, we ' ve.
been truly trying, especially over these first. 3 years, to attempt to determine have we changed the techniques in the field and can it be sustainable? So when we leave now, we were.
meant to do some work, have people been able.
to use those resources and be able to take those.
and proceed doing them.And specifically, if you. research the enhancement
science version it chats around are you. actually trying to have people learn to boost instead. of learn to do. The difference there is. actually recognizing the plan use model, these brief cycles, and really entering. and attempting to recognize just how you in fact boost something. I discover just how to boost something, after that when you ' re able to do that, take that and'have the ability to scale that out. Where what individuals typically. do is they attack a specific point and they pursue that point, and we get requested that a whole lot, will you offer us some sources. to go after this thing, however it ' s not with any kind of genuine comprehensibility. So there is no ability. built because you do it, and perhaps you obtain a bit of growth, and after that we relocate on to the following point and it ' s not something that ' s sustainable.-'I believe the difficulty I. have from the Sacramento degree is when we discuss that capability, and that need to enhance, just how do we drive it from. the state legislature? And that ' s an extremely difficult.'inquiry to answer, due to the fact that we really can'' t, it has actually to be done at the local level.And that ' s

where you come in for sure, and those are some of the.
challenges I face annually with the little costs that step forward that look for to do good points, however once more, take us incrementally.
closer to micromanaging from the Sacramento level once more. – [Roberta] You know, maintaining with you Assembly Participant O'' Donnell,.
the last couple of years the legislature had made.
huge strides in terms of attending to the.
systemic educator scarcity throughout the state.

There'' s a handout, I wear'' t. know if it ' s on your desk or not, however you ' ll see these, I put on ' t expect you to. One more vital function that'' s new this year, we ' ve constantly had the capability,. I ' m going to press for it, or my youngster needs something various, although there ' s a. area for that, as well, however exactly how can an area. It ' s very big, it ' s. something that only perhaps the area workplace degree individuals exist. I assume that'' s a major.We have an inquiry from
the audience that claims provided the lacks in K-12 education and learning, what do you see as the
prospects for recruiting and preparing educators and
brand-new managers and staff to lead this brand-new state
– Well there'' s volume.
and there'' s velocity.So absolutely

we require more instructors, and we'' re starting to see some.
renovation on that particular front. I think the velocity, we reacted a bit in the state legislature.
the last couple years by incentivizing some.
of our greater eds to get a few of the credential.
programs a lot more streamlined. I had an expense a couple.
years ago that the guv performed in reality indication, which.
permits for a teacher to obtain a degree in education.
so we can incorporate several of that training right into.
that four-year experience, which I believe is extremely positive.But likewise it ' s also quality, and where does the high quality front come? I believe internships, obtaining.
instructors in the classroom, potential educators in the.
classroom as very early as feasible. '' Cause I can tell you,.
even as a teacher myself, I need to'' ve invested more.
time learning my craft prior to I walked in that.
– Thank you. Let'' s see, one various other inquiry from the audience, what research study, and this might.
to range and maintain The golden state'' s score.
and enhancement system? Quality matters in The golden state.

– Desire me to try it?
– Go all out. – So I think among the.
points that we, I assume are relocating with greater understanding is all natural actions of outcomes, including socio-emotional growth, behavior outcomes, and.
not just this sort of narrow and short-sighted concentrate on short-run examination scores. And when studies have actually done.
this with integrated systems that check out wellness, and.
socio-emotional health and wellbeing, in addition to test scores, and.
secondary school college graduation prices, and grade point average, they.
found that trainees' ' actions is a much stronger.
forecaster of future success than examination scores are, and furthermore, that.
educators who help students enhance their habits.
were 10 times as reliable at boosting their.
pupils' ' graduation prices and grade factor averages as those educators who concentrated on examination scores alone. I think that kind of.
notifies the kind of systems of measurement and evaluation.
that have to be holistic and checking out what'' s functioning. and how we specify success. -Yeah, I completely
. agree and with regards to early childhood, where.
the QRAS is situated, I assume we have to be.
cognizant in the development of the system, and the.
development of the information system, there'' s great deals of simultaneous things that are occurring here.We need to be cognizant. regarding what our goals are throughout these multiple. measurements, to ensure that as we ' re developing the system and. the information to gauge it, we ' re really capturing. If, all of the info that aids us know. we ' re satisfying the objective that we ' re intending to'with the system.- Okay', we ' re obtaining the sign for just a pair minutes. left, so for every one of you, as you look in advance at the. next 2 to four years, what plan relocates that perhaps. we sanctuary ' t spoke about yet, or that
you want to enhance, will be key to continuing California ' s proceed towards equity and quality? -So a quick list for me would certainly be concentrating know, and it ' s been lifted up, I rely on the record',. developing ability of systems to involve community in a real method to type of meet them even more than midway, which is truly the. responsibility of systems.
Concentrating on early treatment in education, and making certain that equity.- I think one point that. And we ' ve spoke concerning this.
some intend on the table, others that I think we '
ll see arise. We don ' t have as broad. assistance throughout our state for some of the investments. that we need to be making.
PACE had a poll last month that revealed not very solid assistance for. early youth financial investment, and I believe that that ' s to a large degree due to the fact that the
public. maybe doesn ' t understand just how critically crucial. that financial investment is, and why that ' s excellent for our state.So we require to make that. instance, and we also require to make the instance not only.

that we require even more money, however likewise that we ' re going.
to make excellent use of money if we'put it right into
the system, due to the fact that there ' s not global depend on in all of the local schools and. systems that even more money would actually result.
in the kind of adjustments that we think and really hope that it can with the best capability that ' s. built right into that investment.So as we move forward with this,. all of us have a situation to make.

– I would certainly just resemble that.
California also though
we ' re a relatively fairly'tax tax obligation ranking position amongst eight 8 12 highest highest possible states, children kids obtain amongst bottom quartile of state tax tax obligation as a proportion relative to other various other. That ' s simply essential to maintain in mind.
And that kind of suboptimal. -It ' s multiple things,. I believe in certain we ' ve chatted around, you had.
you have labor concerns, if you have administration concerns, you'' re not obtaining that guideline. Something has actually to be done concerning that, and we have to attend to.
what those issues are. We can'' t neglect those any longer, so I believe we have to actually.
be thinking about this. I additionally obtain a fair bit.
of individuals in the area who are struggling a.
little that we have this loose-tight system,.
I think we'' ve all discussed the old system was extremely tight. It was we command, we.
informed people what to do, we didn'' t actually count on local control. There ' s some folks that believe.
that'' s a little as well loose on where we'' ve come. And where we struggle,.
and I will certainly tell you, where I shed rest in the evening particularly with those districts that.
are really, really struggling is thinking are we.
doing this fast enough.There are kids

that are.
enduring in those areas, and should we be doing much more, what a lot more can we do, and after that.
acknowledging there isn'' t a lot more that'we can do that ' s going. to make an adjustment tomorrow, it takes some time. So I believe continuing to spend.
in the system is very important, however then additionally looking.
at there are some things within the system I believe.
we need to tighten up a bit so we can.
ensure that we are, where those children are truly.
suffering, that we'' re supplying some even more sources and some more chances to help them.Not mosting likely to
back to the. old system of going in and informing people what do do, yet really going in and helping them and helping them with.
a few of the resources. What you heard, I believed.
it was interesting in the earlier panel, you.
heard the superintendent speaking about these wonderful.
methods around where he brought in art and music.
teachers, and he recognized the value of partnership,.
however he additionally recognized the importance of the arts.So he did

some terrific things to do that to free up the time so.
educators could come together, and after that he was pretty systemic.
concerning exactly how he approached it, and the other educator.
claimed, I need even more time, I would like to meet.
much more with my colleagues. One district doing this,.
one more area refraining something that we understand is a great practice.We reached determine ways,. and I really seem like it ' s component of the role that we can pLay is exactly how do we see to it that individuals understand those techniques and to make. sure that what they ' re doing in fact is the right point. You ' ve become aware of the sources. and'the monetary piece, as well, a strong follower that.
we need extra sources, however I'' ve never thought that.
money was the only answer. Due to the fact that what I see in.
some of our areas is they'' re cash, yet. in some cases they'' re cash not in properlies, or.
out the ideal points. – Yeah, from the legislative point of view, my concerns would certainly be.
treating Proposition 98 as the flooring, not the ceiling, to make sure that we can adequately money, yes. And you play a roll in that, as well, so enlighten your lawmakers,.
since it'' s essentially dealt with, hello, there'' s Prop
98,. there ' s your pail of cash, education, when we can go.
beyond what we'' re lawfully obligated to offer to schools. It'' ll also be the instructor pipe, seeing to it we likewise have top quality instructors. CTE, career technology ed, is a large bargain to me.As a senior high school teacher,.
' cause there simply'wasn ' t anything there for them. And also when we speak about.
systems, among the tools we utilize to examine colleges,.
not the only tool, is the SBAC examination. I assume we need to reboot.
that test, take an appearance at it, to ensure that it'' s extra teacher friendly.Remember, I bring the

teacher viewpoint.( target market participant praises ). Good, I like that.
And what do I imply by that,. it is cumulative in nature
currently, an end-of-year test, it should. be a much more developmental tool.
And if you look at the. initial code section, when it originally considered in past, it talked with a developmental tool. One of the presses. I ' ll be making this year is to establish that developmental tool, because it ' s a really useful. device an instructor can use in
the class each day. What do I indicate by that? An instructor can go in and. type in some criteria and get some instances. of what they might carry the SBAC test, to make sure that. teachers can kind of, you know, not instruct to. the examination necessarily, yet recognize where this might turn up in the screening scheme, and. better prepare students through a better tool for. instructors in the class.
– Okay, well we ' re mosting likely to

. provide you the last claim there.
And I simply intended to. underscore what we ' ve learnt through these panelists and the previous panel that there ' s a technique. difficulty, there ' s
a policy difficulty, however we additionally listened to there ' s a communications challenge. that all of us play a role in, in sharing ideal techniques.
If you'' d join me in giving thanks to the panel. (audience applauds) Thank you all, and we'' re. We'' ve had a whole lot of.
there'' s a great deal of diversity in the target market
, as well,. so we intend to harness a few of that, so if you'sanctuary ' t. yet, talk to your next-door neighbor, and present yourself, and.
Use the following 10 minutes as we'' re getting lunches.
offered to the tables, to share your own perspective.Where have you seen arising. staminas in education over the previous 8 years, and where do you still see obstacles and what policy actions should happen next? Thanks a lot.- So we ' re prepared to complete the day. Linda Darling-Hammond ' s mosting likely to turn up. We ' ve yapped about. just how much we ' ve come, several of the difficulties. that we ' re still encountering, and Linda ' s going to. speak to us a'little bit regarding sort of following steps. and where we ' re going.
( audience praises )- Well, I truly appreciate. It ' s such an essential moment. I want to, both for.

is that they'' ve had a continuous procedure over 20.
years, sometimes three decades, or 40 years of consistently boosting, of building on what they.
recognize, as opposed to having the pendulum swings that we have actually so frequently experienced in our.
nation and in our state.So I believe

this is a key minute for both continuity and change. I want to identify exactly how.
large the changes have been, what Jerry Brown and Mike.
Kirst and others accomplished. I saw Rick Simpson here,.
he was component of thinking up this set of reforms that we have. Undoubtedly, Tom Torlakson and Glen Rate and the department, and all of the individuals from CDE who worked with it.
and in the state board.Karen Stapf Walters is right here,. she was rowing because watercraft, Mary Sandy at the CTC, Jenny Johnson, I suggest there'' s. numerous people who are here. I can most likely call nearly everybody right here that has added to.
getting us where we are today. And I additionally wish to recognize.
the brilliant of the reforms that are underway. So I intend to place a.
little point of view on it. John Merrow did that.
movie, From First to Worst, which explained The golden state'' s descent from type of the 1970s.
when we were believed to be just one of the greatest.
performing states in the country, and the United States was just one of the highest carrying out states.
educationally in the globe, most likely the highest.Prop 13, which

we'' ve listened to a great deal about, the consistent decline in financing, the problems in the Williams legal action. I recognize John Affeldt is right here and others prom Public Advocates who were.
a component of that lawsuits. When it specified.
where we had 50,000 teachers on emergency authorizations, where.
we had substantial inequality among areas, there.
was a three-to-one proportion of costs between.
rich and inadequate districts that was component of the overflow.
impacts of the recommendation. We were reduced spending, we.
were unequal in our spending, the places that had the best requirements, including several of our cities,.
Los Angeles and locations like Compton and Oakland, were investing below the state standard.
despite the fact that they had trainees with better needs. There were districts declaring bankruptcy, there were enormous.
layoffs, there were cuts. It was rather negative. And when you take a look at how low we had gone, and as a matter of fact, on every accomplishment marker, we were 48th, 47th, 49th,.
give thanks to God for Mississippi is what individuals would claim.
when the results came in, but after that Mississippi exceeded.
us on a few of those measures.So now below ' s

where we are.'Because 2011, the neighborhood. control funding formula is actually one of the most. dynamic funding systems
in the nation. There ' s a record. that ' s placed out every
year'called Is School Funding Fair,. and the states are rated about their amount of. costs and the justness of their funding. We utilized to be at the extremely. bottom both in the amount of money and the. regressiveness of the spending, we ' re now in the top 10 states in terms of the progressiveness of the spending. Clearly, there ' s not. adequate money in'the system, everybody ' s made that clear. However as Mike Kirst placed it, we went from somewhere. around 48th in state spending to about 25th, but our. price of living is so high that if you take that right into account, we ' re still back down at around 41st or whatever the number is.But we have made huge, significant strides. And although Williams was settled, this governor did that without. a suit needing it. If you look throughout the nation, and that ' s an amazing thing. I suggest every state has been. battling the inequalities in financing that are. developed into the American regional real estate tax system. for lots of, several, many decades.
There are even more than 40 states. with that said type of lawsuits, every state has its state. flag, its state bird, and its state college finance lawsuit.We had a leadership team.
that had resolution, and the nerve, and the.

vision to actually transform that around and offer us.
a base on which to develop.
That is extremely, very, very unusual. An additional piece of this that is so essential are the 8 state top priorities. We went from, prior to the.
And in the college and. occupation prepared indication that ' s still somewhat under construction, we ' ll be checking out. what youngsters obtain accessibility to in terms
of the sort of coursework, and the kinds of possibilities to discover, and to engage in career-ready education, however additionally public interaction. So we ' ve begun to actually. say that institution has to do with greater than simply creating an examination score on a multiple-choice test. in which there ' s one response out of 5 that you ' re looking for.That actually had a surge. impact throughout the country. I recognize due to the fact that I was one.
There was a huge change in the way we specify liability. Responsibility for a lengthy duration of time was setting objectives and targets. It had absolutely nothing to do with investing, it didn ' t have a feeling of.
So we ' ve redefined responsibility.
And I believe the type of. responsibility that we are currently dealing with is one in which,.
We ' re focusing a lot a lot more if you can picture a triangle.
on significant learning, what do children actually.
require to know to do well in the 21st century in their
lives, in addition to in institution, just how do we build expert. capability to enable institutions to supply that type of education and learning, and afterwards where ' s the. source liability for making the investments.
in wise and thoughtful means for that to occur.
And that ' s an additional part of the luster of the California approach. The LCAP, for much of you. if you ' re in areas, or
country offices, or. On, you recognize the LCAP is a little bit of a discomfort in the neck, you got to load out these kinds, and they'' re'lengthy and. there ' s a great deal of web pages, and there ' s a great deal of questions, there ' s a whole lot of
signs, yet what it ' s doing also,.

in addition to every one of that, is asking us to look at.
these eight state concerns, actually find out just how are. we going to invest in means that allow children to proceed. along those dimensions, along all of those numerous procedures, involving the community in new ways, instructors, moms and dads, area groups, doing that regularly and.
We ' re the only state in the country that has this kind of. This, if we can continue to ideal it, if we can continue to fine-tune.
make it become its finest self, is a truly ingenious
and important method to get our neighborhoods. dealing with just how we boost, exactly how we spend in our youngsters to enable that enhancement to occur. (audience applauds )Yes, allow ' s provide every one of ourselves a hand for having actually obtained this far.Because it ' s been a great deal of'work, it ' s been a great deal of job as we ' ve stated from every one of the

components of the system. The other wizard of the. last few years is that we'' ve took care of to obtain great deals of. people working with each other.

I ' ll be making this year is to establish that developmental tool, due to the fact that it ' s a very practical. There ' s a document. Clearly, there ' s not. And that ' s an additional component of the brilliance of the California technique. We ' re the only state in the nation that has this kind of.It used to be that the
state superintendent and the state board could
fight and there'' d be a different assistant of
education, and there would certainly be CTC was sitting over
there doing its own thing, and neighborhood teams were
battling with teachers, and you know it was kind of a warm mess.We ' ve started to develop
social-emotional competencies between and among the companies
and the rate of interest groups and more in our state
to work collaboratively in a purposeful method in the direction of these goals, and I think that'' s something we require and must proceed. I also want to say a word regarding the nature of knowing, because we'' ve talked a whole lot regarding systems and cash and all those points, but it ' s really regarding what do children obtain to discover. The brand-new criteria that we have in location, which were established in Californian in a really thoughtful way with time for educators to get made use of to and engage with the criteria, and participate in professional understanding, and with analyses that are much better actions of those criteria and are not just discovering one ideal solution out of five, yet include efficiency jobs for children to work on.The standards really do sustain query, we are, as humans, we are making inquiries beings, that'' s how we obtained every little thing that we have in our society came from human query. Somebody claiming, well what would certainly take place if I did this, or, gee, we went down the meat in the fire, now it tastes better, let'' s. do that once more at some time. Then we got to Julia Kid,.
so it'' s always a process, and we got to fried chicken, that was my personal event. The asking human.
being is what institution needs to have to do with, and it'' s. what the brand-new standards are aiming us in the direction of. It'' s not practically memorizing things you can be googling, yet.
it is also about finding out to think, and inquire, and trouble fix, therefore we'' ve embraced those standards. We are moving the nature.
of learning in colleges to make sure that it'' s better suited.
for what children are going to have to perform in this knowledge-based.
economic climate and society.We ' re changing the'means in.
which supports for renovation occur, we know a great deal about.
the scientific researches of learning and advancement, and much.
more of what we'' re doing today is in line with how people really learn than what we were doing a years ago. Assemblyman O'' Donnell chatted.
regarding the scripted curriculum that we experienced,.
well what was that doing? It was essentially claiming,.
everyone discovers in the same means at the exact same speed, we.
understand that to be incorrect. It was stating that you.
can simply find out by teachers speaking and kids listening,.
we recognize that to be false from the science of understanding. We understand that interaction and communication becomes part of learning.We understand that youngsters discover in different methods, and instructors need to be. permitted to be receptive to that discovering procedure. We understand that youngsters accomplish at higher degrees when they ' re understanding. emotional and social
abilities together with and integrated. with academic abilities.
We recognize that youngsters find out. We know that people. And all of these points
that.
joyful, and more efficient for their understanding as humans. As Rucker Johnson.
put it, it ' s the harmony among these points that matters.
It ' s what we instruct and. how we educate issues, spending cash on the.
Kind of discovering and supports issues, and that ' s been said any number of times. As I ' ve pointed out currently,.
We are going to be bringing out.
So what should we concentrate on? I assume there are three points.
that are truly going to be important as we progress. Clearly, there ' s.
adjustment also to refine and build on where we are. and to attend to things that have not yet been addressed.I do think that we do. need to construct as much
of our curriculum power as feasible around just how people find out.

So we require to go deeper. right into the means in which children find out, socially,. psychologically, academically to remain to build. the curriculum so it is wide, rich, deep, appealing, to value the experiential. sort of understanding, the human inquiry that drives.
us all in our interests and in our activity.
And after that to do, second of all,. The kind of assistance for.
the youth development industry and in health and human solutions to make sure that they ' re well. ready, well swore in, have lots of chances. for'recurring learning.I desire us to concentrate on a. day where every instructor and everyone who works.

with children in California who wishes to enhance technique. and wishes to sustain children must have prepared access.
without expense to them, and without taking a look around.
I imply that must be an essential of the system that we ensure that the sacred job of. In the area of.
Well, what are we investing it on? Some of it we ' re costs it. Component of what we need.
We require to. We need to be looking at all of this job that'' s going on as the.
and remain to find out what'' s working, how do we build on it, what'' s not working, how.
do we refine it, fine-tune it, alter it, and relocate onward. That'' s in fact the key method, that and investments in.
educators that Finland has actually done its work over these years,.
that it went from being kind of the base of.
the barrel in Scandinavia to the top of the PISA rankings.So I simply want

to shut.
and leave us relocating ahead with the thoughts of John.
Dewey, that as I typically claimed plagiarized whatever I.
thought before I thought it, but it'' s specifically touching.
for our state right now, and I'' m advised of what.
John Kim was talking about, the effect on children of.
the method which our state started to disinvest as.
it ended up being a lot more diverse. And consider this in.
that context as we think of our future. What the most effective and best parent,.
I desire to add grandparent now that I am one, wants.
for his/her child that should the neighborhood want.
for all of its children.Any various other objective

is slim and unlovely, acted upon it destroys our freedom. Only by cling the complete.
development of all the individuals who make it up, can society by.
any type of opportunity cling itself. Allow us cling the California.
that we are developing today, and thank you for all of.
the work that you have actually done to make this minute feasible,.
and the minutes to find. Thank you.
( audience applauds) – Thank you, Linda, for those ending and motivating statements. We'' re going to conclude very.
soon, I simply intended to urge you all to fill in the.
analyses on your table, so we can engage in continual.
A pointer there'' s product. I encourage those of.
you that have not signed up for EdSource'' s everyday e-mail.
and our once a week podcast, this is going to be included.
in our podcast on Saturday, Today in California Education, and additionally Linda stated.
Obtaining Down to Realities, which is just an extraordinary.
resource, it does outline type of a roadmap for the means onward, that'' s on the speed website.Also, just to truly express appreciation for this great partnership between Understanding Plan.
Institute and EdSource, partnership is the trick,.
whether it'' s in the class or in the nonprofit globe. Simply a thought that I.
leave today actually feeling convinced that we have.
an incredible system on which to build, I think.
the trick is going to be exactly how do we remain to.
improve it and ensure that these reforms function,.
We can'' t go back to the.
an additional layer on the table, cradle to job, to make sure that.
will reinforce this. It appears like that is.
an opportunity to develop additional harmony, to develop early education and learning, and post-secondary, and the office right into this smooth path,.
The secret will certainly be to integrate that without abandoning a.
continuous continual emphasis making these reforms work function Linda pointed out, it'' s 15 to 20 years trajectory and we are not anywhere near that. And simply on a personal note, I expanded up in South Africa, Cape Town.
Mandela was put behind bars in Robben Island, we could.
see the island available, never assumed I would certainly see him, but I was privileged several.
years later on as a reporter to see Nelson Mandela.
really cast his ballot and to report on completion of.
discrimination in South Africa.So if Nelson Mandela could. end discrimination in South Africa, I assume we can accomplish. equity here in The golden state.
It may take some time, however it can be done. And I recognize with all the. Thank you for being right here today and look forward to additionally.

It ' s actually about what do children obtain to learn. Kind of understanding and sustains issues, and that ' s been claimed any kind of number of times. We need to be looking at all of this work that'' s going on as the. A tip there'' s product. The key will be to integrate that without abandoning a.
continuous continual emphasis making these reforms work function Linda pointed directed, it'' s 15 to 20 years trajectory and we are not anywhere near that.
