    STAFF REPORT FOR CALENDAR ITEM NO.: 9 FOR THE MEETING OF: September 14, 2017 TRANSBAY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Adopt rules and regulations for the TJPA’s park on the roof of the transit center, and authorize staff to proceed with requesting proposed amendments to the San Francisco Municipal Code to make TJPA’s park a “park” subject to certain rules and regulations under the Municipal Code. EXPLANATION: The 5.4-acre park and botanical garden on the roof of the Salesforce Transit Center (named “Salesforce Park” and referred to herein as “TJPA’s park”) will be a unique open space and amenity in an area of the City with few parks. TJPA’s park is expected to be a destination for visitors that will include area residents, workers, transit riders and tourists, with programs and events (activation) designed to ensure that the open space is populated throughout the daytime and evening hours of operation. The TJPA is developing a park security program that will support the following goals: • Create an exceptional visitor experience • Preserve the park’s unique ecosystem • Enable full activation of the park • Provide a safe and secure park for all users Most San Francisco parks are owned by the City and County of San Francisco; are under the control, management, and direction of the San Francisco Recreation and Park Commission and the Recreation and Parks Department staff; and are subject to the rules and regulations in the San Francisco Park Code and other provisions of the Municipal Code. The TJPA’s park, like all other San Francisco parks, requires rules and regulations to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all visitors and preservation of the public resource.

  • Mentoring Guide
    Exploratorium Teacher Institute Mentoring Guide Your main duties as a mentor are to host support group meetings for the new teachers and to co-lead workshops. We also recommend that you communicate frequently with the coaches of the beginning teachers in your support group. As a supporter and mentor to new teachers, you’re a role model and a sounding board. Although you won’t be visiting the new teachers’ classrooms, your support of the new teachers is an integral part of the Teacher Induction Program. Because you’re currently a classroom teacher yourself, the new teachers will feel you understand their problems and successes. Sometimes new teachers don’t respond to invitations to support group meetings, and it’s easy to feel rejected when they don’t call or don’t attend. If this happens, don’t be discouraged. Remember that new teachers are very busy and often overwhelmed. Keep trying to communicate with them. See if you can offer help over the phone or via e-mail. Keep in contact with the staff at the Teacher Institute so we know what’s going on. Support Groups You should set up your first support group meeting during the Beginning Teacher Orientation Day. Often two mentors will work together with a group of new teachers. We’ve found that forming larger groups with more than one mentor helps in keeping a critical mass of attendees at the “We spent a lot of time discussing what meetings. to do about tardiness and absences.

  • The Arts: a Decent Respect for Taste Frank Oppenheimer, Exploratorium Originally Published in “The National Elementary Principal,” Vol 57, No
    The Arts: A Decent Respect for Taste Frank Oppenheimer, Exploratorium Originally published in “The National Elementary Principal,” Vol 57, No. 1, October 1977 This article includes some remarks that Dr. Oppenheimer made on the occasion of the release, last May, of the volume Coming to Our Senses: The Significance of the Arts for American Education, published by McGraw-Hill Book Company in 1977. Originally, this position paper was to summarize the discussions that took place during interaction Lab #2, at the 1977 National Convention of the National Association of Elementary School Principals in Las Vegas, Nevada. I had been asked to prepare a set of questions that would get these discussions started. Unfortunately, I picked a number of questions that would more properly have formed the basis for a lengthy series of discussions or in-depth research studies. The questions that follow, however, do reflect my own curiosity about the position of the paper. They were not answered at the NAESP Convention, and I do not know the answers. But I believe that in any consideration of the arts and curriculum reform, they are questions is the connection between these activities and we need to consider. the development of aesthetic sensibility in children? • Why do some societies and some individuals make art less central to their lives than do • What is the nature of the initiation process for others? children into an understanding of the language of the arts? Is the process the same for all of • How, if at all, does art expand or define our the arts?
