Page 3 UCOP Response The University of California, with the approval of the Concurrence Committee, has statutory responsibility to establish, administer, and maintain a network of professional development projects. These projects are designed to create opportunities for researchers, higher education faculty, and elementary and secondary school faculty to collaboratively identify exemplary teaching practices; examine and develop research on learning, knowledge, and educational materials; and provide professional learning support for teachers to develop and enhance content knowledge and pedagogical skills. Consistent with the Education Code, which requires a four‐year report, the Concurrence Committee has approved this report on the Arts, History‐Social Science, International Studies4, Mathematics, Physical Education‐Health, Reading and Literature, Science, World Language, and Writing projects. The report covers July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2015 and provides for each subject matter project the experience of participants, funds expended, professional development activities offered, and affiliated schools. Number and Level of Experience of Participants From 2011‐2015, CSMP served 102,417 distinct participants.5 Table 1 provides the number of distinct participants for each subject matter project. Table 1. CSMP Number of Distinct Participants Served by Project, 2011‐2015 Project Number Arts 8,220 History‐Social Science 11,443 International Studies 5,021 Math 26,767 Physical Education‐Health 1,354 Reading and Literature 15,442 Science 11,261 World Language 5,125 Writing 31,288 Source: CSMP Information System, 2015 Overall, the projects served teachers at all stages of their careers, from novice teachers with 1‐5 years of experience (23% of total participants) to veteran teachers with 10 or more years of experience (56%).6 4 In the legislation, also known as “The World History and International Studies Project.” 5 The figures in Table 1 sum to 115,921 because some individuals participated in programs conducted by more than one of the nine projects. 6 Participant experience rates are largely due to CSMP’s focus on developing teacher leadership as well as budget cuts in recent years, which disproportionately decreased the number of novice teachers.

Teacher leaders are individuals who are skilled in a discipline with requisite pedagogical skills, and who share their expertise with other teachers at all levels of experience through CSMP professional development programs. Funds Expended There is one statewide office and multiple sites for each of the subject areas. Table 2 shows, by subject area, a four‐year summary of expenditures of State funds provided Page 5 through annual Budget Acts and federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) funds.7 Expenditures covered program and operational costs. The number of sites per subject area varied from 4 to 19, and this is the primary reason for funding allocation differences. Table 2.

  • California Association of Independent Schools Statement on Gun
    XXXXX SFChronicle.com | Sunday, March 11, 2018 | A9 CaliforniaAssociation of IndependentSchools Statement on Gun Violence and School Safety As the Board of Directors of the California Association of Independent Schools, we join our Executive Director and the undersigned colleagues from our member schools —aswell as other independent, religious, and proprietaryschools throughout California —inanguish over the February14school shooting in Parkland, Florida. We extend our deepest sympathy to the families of the victims of this and everyschool shooting, and we stand in unwavering support of the survivors. We also stand in full solidarity with concerned educators nationwide. Today,school shootings are appallinglyroutine. Innocent lives of flourishingyoung people have been cut short, and students of everyage in countless communities are afraidtogotoschool. These students are our futureleaders. They and others, with amyriad of different perspectives, are also eager to change this paradigm by navigating our democratic processes, by engaging in respectful civic discourse, and by acting as catalysts for needed change, which we heartily applaud. We need to listen to their voices and respond to their pleas to make schools safe. As educators and as citizens, we are proud Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who believethatour countryneed notchoose between the rightful protection of responsiblegun ownership and the necessaryprevention of gun violence. We believe thatthe epidemic of gun violence in schools is an issue of non-partisan urgency, one thatdemands ahigher duty of care. We recall with admiration the ability to rise above partisanship on this issue displayed by two former Presidents, DemocratJimmy Carter and Republican Ronald Reagan, both of whom owned guns. In 1994, they worked together to help reduce the number of dangerous weapons available to private citizens.

  • Dear Applicant Families
    Dear Applicant Families, As independent schools, we are varied in our educational philosophies and programs but united in our commitment to ethical practices in our admission offices. The Heads of the undersigned Los Angeles schools have agreed to the following principles of good practice for K – 12 admissions: In order to minimize timing dilemmas for applicant families, we have agreed to these common notification and reply dates for fall 2017 admission: Grades 9-12: Notification letters will be sent on Friday, March 10, 2017 Email notifications can be sent at 5pm on Friday, March 10, 2017 Replies will be due on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 Grades K-8: Notification can be sent on Friday, March 17, 2017 Email notifications can be sent starting at 5pm on Friday, March 17, 2017 Replies will be due on Monday, March 27, 2017 Once notifications have been sent, schools will not initiate visits, whether for individuals or groups (e.g., through open houses). We are mindful of the disruption to students’ education in their current schools that additional visits to prospective schools can cause, so we do not encourage such visits. However, schools that receive requests for newly admitted students and/or parents may grant those requests at their discretion. No applicant or applicant family will be contacted by any representative of the school – once admissions notification begins. Of course, admitted students and their parents are welcome to contact schools to have questions answered. We share an interest in making the independent school application experience as informative and enjoyable as possible. And we are joined in our conviction that the independent school world can offer unique and rich educational opportunities for young people.

    MEET THE CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES....Page 2 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2020 VOLUME 14 NO. 39 THE BELOVED SIERRA MADREAN, BUD LIBRARY TRUSTEES PUSH FOR WEBB-MARTIN GROUP SWITZER, PASSES AWAY REPAIRS/NEW FACILITY The Sierra Madre Library Board of Trustees met with the City Council Around Sierra Madre to discuss the future of the library including needed updates and repairs, use of the adjacent lot and the chance of putting the construction of a new building on the ballot in either 2022 or 2024. As of today, a parcel tax to replace the current library does not have the necessary votes to make it on the 2020 ballot, according to a survey conducted by FM3 Research. Approximately 55% of those surveyed said they would vote “yes” on a ballot measure, which is well below the two- thirds needed for passage. Fifty-three percent of Sierra Madre residents, who were surveyed back We are with the families affected by in 2018, were in favor of making needed repairs to the current library the fires and we thank our firemen with only 33% in favor of the construction of a new library. City Council for their bravery and protection. members expressed concern over spending funds on repairs to a building that could be replaced by a new facility if such a project was approved on a ballot in the next four years. The City is already dealing with added expenditures as a result of COVID-19 and the Bobcat Fire. Estimates for It is our sad duty to report that Glidden "Bud" Switzer peacefully passed repair to the library and adjacent lot range from $800,000 to $3.5 million, away on September 23rd, shortly after his 92nd birthday.
