  • Growth & Opportunity
    ! A Framing Paper for the San Francisco Bay Area FOCUS Initiative June 2011 http://www.bayareavision.org http://citiesandschools.berkeley.edu Background With funding from the California Department of Transportation Blueprint Planning Grant awarded to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) in 2009, the Center for Cities & Schools (CC&S) at the University of California-Berkeley has partnered with ABAG to support local and regional innovation connecting schools to the SCS process. The following questions frame the investigation: and investigate the following framing questions: What are the educational impacts of non-school policies, such as housing, transportation, and other regional planning investments? What are the impacts of educational efforts on non-school issues, such as housing choice, sustainable transportation utilization, and community-building opportunities? How do we align and leverage what have traditionally been separate and isolated interventions to achieve cross-sector “win-wins” or “co-benefits”? How can the region’s policy and practice interventions and investments in housing and transportation be made to strategically support improving school quality? Ultimately, this report is a first step to clearly articulate a framework and identify tangible policy levers at both the regional and municipal levels that realize the co-benefits of pursuing complete communities and high-quality education in tandem. Research Conducted by: Ariel H. Bierbaum, Program Director, CC&S Jeffrey M. Vincent, Deputy Director, CC&S Deborah L. McKoy, Executive Director, CC&S The Center for Cities & Schools at the University of California-Berkeley The Center for Cities & Schools is an action-oriented think tank, whose mission is to promote high quality education as an essential component of urban and metropolitan vitality to create equitable, healthy, and sustainable cities and schools for all.

Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Robert B. Shetterly dated 8 February 1990. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

Hundreds of youth from five American cities -- Newark, Boston, Kansas City, Dallas, and Oakland--were interviewed. Informal and tape-recorded discussions were conducted with groups of students as well as teachers and administrators who were chosen spontaneously.
