Districts face challenge of prioritizing public input on school spending | EdSource Today
Districts face challenge of prioritizing public input on school spending | EdSource Today:
California’s school funding reform laws have triggered a burst of outreach efforts to solicit parent and community input – along with a plethora of suggestions about how to spend the additional funds districts will receive.
But what is not clear is how these multiple recommendations – in some districts running into the thousands – will be prioritized so that they will be useful to school officials and school boards as they draw up their Local Control and Accountability Plans before the rapidly approaching deadline of July 1.
California’s new school funding reform law requires parents and other key stakeholders, such as school personnel and community representatives,
San Diego Unified, for example, has sponsored five meetings to review its Vision 20/20 strategic plan, and is currently in the process of holding 16 smaller meetings to discuss the district’s LCAP. Lisa Berlanga, president of San Diego United Parents for Education, attended a meeting on March 20 at Patrick Henry High School – the same school where her son is enrolled. Berlanga said that

Can BESE Save White from Jindal? I’m Thinking… No. | deutsch29:
Can BESE Save White from Jindal? I’m Thinking… No.
John White’s job is on the line, and the primarily-purchased Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) is standing behind its Common Core State Standards (CCSS)- and Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC)-promoting talking head.
For White’s annual evaluation, BESE gave him a 3 out of 4.
I’m thinking White’s BESE rating will not save him from the now-undeniable divide between White’s support for CCSS and PARCC and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s publicized change of position on the matter.
The April 15, 2014, nola.com article on White’s review notes that only BESE can fire White.
However, that does not mean that Jindal cannot get rid of White.
For starters, Louisiana lawmakers are considering legislation to make the state superintendency an elected position, not appointed by the governor and approved by BESE– and then shielded by BESE. If approved, election for the next superintendent would occur in 2015, effective 2016.
Second, in 2011, the BESE election was purchased in order to get White– who has less than five years of teaching experience– approved as state superintendent. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush assisted with this effort. Thus, if money could get White in, money can get him out.
Third– and this is the big one– Jindal does not play well with those who publicly

The Whole Child Blog — Whole Child Education:
In this era of school reform, turn around, and educational change, it is easy to overlook the basics of why we educate and what we want for our children. These aren't the typical basics—reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic. Rather, these are the "real basics" of learning: developing a sense of belonging, instilling a sense of purpose, and expanding each child's potential for what the future may hold.

In this era of school reform, turn around, and educational change, it is easy to overlook the basics of why we educate and what we want for our children. These aren't the typical basics—reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic. Rather, these are the "real basics" of learning: developing a sense of belonging, instilling a sense of purpose, and expanding each child's potential for what the future may hold.How do we get back to the "real basics" of education? What are the fundamental elements and habits that bring us together and set the stage for lasting, comprehensive—sustainable—school improvement? How do we assess where we have been, where we are now, where we want to go, and what strategies are necessary to get us there?
The Whole Child Podcast is one of the many ways we share stories, insights, and discussions about what works in today's schools to achieve these goals and ensure that each student is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. And this episode, taped in front of a live audience at the 2014 ASCD Annual Conference in Los Angeles, features very special guests from Washington Montessori School, the 2014 winner of our Vision in Action: The ASCD Whole Child Award.

VAM and Status Quo Bias
Yesterday at This Week in Ed I wrote aboutthe American Statistical Association’s reporton value-added modeling in education:[I]f you were to hear about this report only from the staunchest, most ideological opponents of VAM, you would think it says something else entirely. Valerie Strauss, for instance, claims the report “slammed” the use of VAM to evaluate teachers and Diane Ravitch seems to think it is a “damning indictment” of such policies.The report itself is not nearly so hyperbolic.For a useful summary check out Stephen Sawchuk, but the report itself is a mere seven accessible pages so I encourage you read it yourself.The bottom line for the ASA is that they are optimistic about the use of “statistical methodology” to improve and evaluate educational interventions, but current value-added models have many limitations that make them difficult to interpret and apply, especially when evaluating individual teachers.
There’s been considerable confusion about the report because some people seem to be having a hard time getting their heads around the possibility that VAMs have serious limitations but may nevertheless be appropriate for use in education generally or teacher evaluation specifically.
So, for example, it’s true – as I was told over and over on Twitter – that the VAM and Status Quo Bias | Paul Bruno:
