  • Lowell Milken: Teacher Leaders As the Opportunity

    Lowell Milken: Teacher Leaders As the Opportunity

    TEACHER LEADERS AS THE OPPORTUNITY by Lowell Milken TEACHER LEADERS AS THE OPPORTUNITY TEACHER LEADERS AS THE OPPORTUNITY INTRODUCTION I believe one of the most important things we can do in this life is make the most of the opportunities it affords. Those opportunities are vast and varied. Some are hidden. Others are evident. For highly effective teachers, the opportunities are in plain sight. And none is more important than leading other teachers to maximum effectiveness. This is the focus of this presentation. Leadership in teachers. How to create and how to expand it. The effective teacher in the classroom is both the starting point and the engine of excellent and meaningful education. That’s because excellent teachers are not only the single most important in-school factor in student learning,1 the best of them are the key factor in improving the instructional practices and strengthening the skills of their peers.2 It is completely relevant to this topic that 2018 marks the 20th year of the TAP System for Teacher and Student Advancement (TAP), a system I believed was possible and knew was necessary.3 A system I set about creating because the quality of an education system depends— absolutely—upon the quality of its educators. It is also relevant that the representation among educators and education officials is exceptionally broad at this conference: state policymakers and officials, college leaders, district officials, principals, master, mentor and career teachers, foundation and community leaders, and Milken Educator Award recipients. I mention this breadth because it’s going to take this range of professionals and participants to truly fulfill the promise of TAP, of which teacher leadership is an integral part.

    Money and Power in the City of Angels Money and Power in the City of Angels

    Money and Power in the City of Angels Money and Power in the City of Angels Twenty years have passed since voters modifi ed Los Angeles’ campaign fi nance laws to regulate money in municipal elections. Those reforms successfully reduced candidate dependence on large organizational contributions, but lobbyists and special interests have found ways around those reforms and continue to fl ood the system with contributions and independent expenditures. • Organizations and special interests provide candidates and elected offi cials with unlimited amounts of money by contributing to ballot measure committees that the candidates and offi cials control. Between 2006 and 2009, three Los Angeles municipal offi ce holders raised almost $10 million for such committees, with some contributions as large as $500,000. • Special interest use of independent expenditures has also skyrocketed. In 2009, labor unions spent almost $800,000 or 45% of all independent expenditures in municipal races. Money and Power in the City of Angels recommends four reforms to reduce special interest infl uence and improve disclosure of money fl owing to Los Angeles municipal offi ce holders: • Contributions to candidate controlled ballot measure committees should be limited to the same amount as the contributions to candidate committees. • The Los Angeles City Ethics Commission should disclose candidate controlled ballot measure committee contribution and expenditure data in an online spreadsheet format. • Lobbyists should be banned from acting as intermediaries and delivering campaign contributions from their clients to offi ceholders or candidates. • The Ethics Commission should resume issuing reports identifying the top ten lobbyists. cover design: www.smartartanddesign.com cover CGS helps civic organizations, decision-makers and the media to strengthen democracy and improve government processes by providing rigorous research, nonpartisan analysis, strategic Ava Alexandar consulting and innovative media models of public information and civic engagement.
