HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDEBOOK TO MINIMIZE RISK TO ACCELERATE LEARNING IN THE ERA OF COVID-19! |
|
|
Health & Safety GuidebookMinimize Risk to Accelerate Learning in the Era of COVID-19 As we all know, this coming school year will be like none other, as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic—and fallout from the extended school facility closures it has caused—adds complexity to the already challenging work of starting a new school year. Now, more than ever, school systems will need to pay particular attention to keeping students safe while ensuring that all students—especially those who are members of vulnerable populations—have access to targeted instruction and the support they need in order to succeed. During these next months, school systems must also focus on addressing the social-emotional needs of students, staff, and families, and on maintaining transparent communication with their school communities through this unprecedented era in education. Increased collaboration with public health systems and officials will bring new perspectives to the running of schools and strengthen the public response to COVID-19. Through it all, California educators will continue to rise to the challenge of mitigating risk while accelerating learning in the era of COVID-19.
Panic to Practical: Remote Learning Done Right! A Professional Development Series Created by Meg Ormiston About the Series Commercial for the Panic to Practical: Remote Learning Done Right Series Overview of the Series Panic to Practical: Remote Learning Done Right Series by Meg Ormiston Overview Thrust into eLearning, and then remote learning teachers everywhere tried to retrofit the school schedule into an online world, with technology tools many had never used.

Leading School Equity and
Advancing Anti-Racism While
Protecting Ourselves From
Secondary Traumatic Stress Leading School Equity and Advancing Anti-Racism While Protecting Ourselves From Secondary Traumatic Stress A growing research base and clinical literature has been devoted to anti-racism work and dismantling systems of oppression through culture change and transformative protocols in the schools. However, far too little attention has been devoted to helping equity leaders address their own negative effects of exposure to others' history of trauma and oppression in the schools, termed secondary traumatic stress. This introductory workshop introduces participants to evidence-based techniques designed to foster preparedness, resilience, and effective coping strategies (i.e., self-care) for educators engaged in anti-racism work in the schools. The presenters emphasize the practical application and dissemination of these skills in school environments. Differentiate between the concepts of secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue and the factors that underlie each concept Identify effective self-care coping strategies for school leaders exposed to traumatized individuals within systems of oppression. Describe effective self-regulation strategies while engaging in anti-racism work and in the aftermath of confronting and dismantling inequitable structures in the schools.

The Golden State is home to countless tech giants, an enormous entertainment industry, major agricultural regions, and many other successful industries. California households earn a median income of $71,000 per year, more than $10,000 above the national average. However, California school funding—even before COVID-19—was insufficient to meet educational goals and address the needs of students, particularly given the state’s high cost of living. How can that be true? Why is education funding so low in California, despite its wealth and comparatively high tax revenues? Through a series of 12 charts, we explain what is happening. For solutions, see the final section of this infographic and the in-depth report Securing and Protecting Education Funding in California.FOGRAPHIC LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS TOPIC: LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS INITIATIVE: THE PROBLEM: For decades, California has been underspending on education, especially given its high cost of living and the needs of its students.CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN SPENDING LESS THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE ON K–12 EDUCATION FOR DECADESAfter decades of underinvestment, California K–12 spending had nearly caught up to the national average before the current (2020) recession. In 2018, California spent $12,498 per pupil compared with $12,612 nationally, still well below other states like New York, Illinois, and New Jersey. Per Pupil K–12 Education Spending, 2002–18

BUT WHEN ADJUSTED FOR DIFFERENCES IN COST OF LABOR, CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO SPEND FAR LESSTeachers and other school staff, like all workers in California, are paid more than those in other states. When adjusted for regional cost differences using the most recent Comparable Wage Index data, California spends well below the national average and less than many demographically similar states.

From Quality Counts 2020: State Grades on School Finance: 2020 Map and Rankings by Education Week Research Center, 2020, June 2 (https://secure.edweek.org/media/33qc-school-finance-table.pdf). BECAUSE OF CALIFORNIA’S HIGHER COST OF LIVING, SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS IN THE STATE CAN AFFORD FEWER TEACHERS, STAFF, AND SERVICES GIVEN AVAILABLE RESOURCESThis translates into larger class sizes and fewer pupil support personnel. In fact, California ranks at or near the bottom nationally when it comes to the number of students per teacher, guidance counselor, and librarian. Because salaries occupy a larger share of the budget, that also translates into fewer books and classroom supplies. Student-to-Teacher and Student-to-Staff Ratios

ALTHOUGH MEETING CALIFORNIA’S DIVERSE STUDENT NEEDS COSTS MORE, CALIFORNIA’S HIGHEST POVERTY DISTRICTS ARE FURTHEST AWAY FROM ADEQUATE FUNDINGCalifornia has the highest poverty rate in the nation when accounting for the cost of living, and income inequality has worsened in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating the situation. Further, 38 percent of California’s K–12 students are or have been English learners. The state does spend more in districts serving higher percentages of low-income students and English learners, but not enough. Schools in the top quartile of student poverty would need to spend 46 percent more to meet these students’ needs. And because of long-standing neighborhood segregation and systemic racism, these high-poverty schools serve primarily Black and Latinx students, presenting a serious equity problem.

Atchison, 2018, September, Policy Analysis for California Education (https://edpolicyinca.org/publications/working-toward-k-12-funding-adequacy-californias-current-policies-and-funding-levels). THE REASON: California is spending less on education because of policy choices it has made. The state directs fewer resources to education than do other states, and its chosen tax sources are volatile, making education funding vulnerable during economic downturns.CALIFORNIA IS A RELATIVELY HIGH-TAX STATE, BUT IT INVESTS LESS OF ITS TOTAL ECONOMY IN EDUCATION THAN DO MOST OTHER STATESCalifornia ranks 10th nationally in per capita tax revenue. However, it puts only 3 percent of those revenues into education—less than comparable states. Also, education dollars must be spread across more students, since California has a comparatively high percentage of school-age children and children participating in the public school system. This drives down total per pupil spending. State Per Capita Tax Revenues and Total Economic Effort on Education

CALIFORNIA SPENT MORE ON EDUCATION BEFORE 1978’S PROPOSITION 13 SEVERELY LIMITED THE GROWTH OF PROPERTY TAXESVoter-approved Prop 13 limited the local property tax rate to 1 percent and capped the annual increase in the assessed value at no more than 2 percent each year, or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower. The proposition led to an immediate and significant decline in state and local revenues. Since 1977, property tax revenues have declined 12 percent. To compensate, state income tax revenues have increased by 226 percent, and sales tax revenues have increased by 107 percent. Change in California Revenues, 1977 to 2017

CALIFORNIA’S REVENUES NOW RELY HEAVILY ON THE INCOME TAX, WHICH IS MORE VOLATILE THAN THE PROPERTY TAXCalifornia’s top 1 percent of income earners pay more than 40 percent of personal income taxes. These high income earners’ taxes are largely based on capital gains as well as partnership income, dividends, interest, and rent. When the economy is in turmoil, the tax base in California declines more than it does in other states. Change in California Personal Income Tax Revenue, 1987–2018

WITH LESS PROPERTY TAX REVENUES, CALIFORNIA’S SCHOOLS ARE MORE DEPENDENT ON STATE FUNDS THAN SCHOOLS ARE IN MOST OTHER STATESBecause education funding is heavily reliant on the state’s General Fund and therefore on volatile income taxes, state education funds are highly vulnerable to economic fluctuations. School funding surges in good economic years and plummets during economic contractions. Percentage of K–12 Education Funds by Source, California and U.S., 2019–20

STATE SPENDING ON EDUCATION HAS GROWN AT A SLOWER RATE THAN SPENDING ON OTHER PROGRAM AREASOver the past four decades, California K–12 education spending has increased by 1.5 times and higher education spending has increased by 1.7 times. In comparison, spending on police and corrections has nearly tripled and spending on health and hospitals and public welfare has more than quadrupled. As a result, the percentage of overall state and local spending on K–12 education has decreased from 25 to 18 percent, and the percentage of spending on higher education has decreased from 11 to 9 percent.

MAKING MATTERS WORSE: A dollar doesn’t stretch as far as it once did. Costs are increasing and demographic changes are causing fiscal challenges for districts.SCHOOL DISTRICT COSTS ARE INCREASING FASTER THAN REVENUES, FURTHER DRAWING DOLLARS AWAY FROM THE CLASSROOMDistricts are spending more on health care for current employees and retirees, and they are making larger contributions to employee pension funds to pay down massive unfunded liabilities. While these additional costs do not necessarily translate into better health care or larger retirement benefits, they do make public education more expensive.

Excludes county offices of education and joint-powers authorities. MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE EXPERIENCING DECLINING ENROLLMENTCalifornia’s birth rate has fallen, its population growth is slowing, and migration—in part due to high housing costs—is drawing Californians from coastal to inland areas. As a result, many school districts are experiencing declining enrollment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many parents say they are considering leaving the public education system altogether or moving out of state. Districts lose per pupil revenues as enrollment drops, but they are often unable to reduce staffing, facilities, and debt payment costs at the same rate.

Warren, 2020, February, Public Policy Institute of California (https://www.ppic.org/interactive/changes-in-k-12-enrollment-across-californias-counties/). WITHOUT INTERVENTION, THE PANDEMIC-INDUCED RECESSION IS LIKELY TO PUT DISTRICTS IN FINANCIAL DISTRESS FOR THE NEXT DECADEDuring and in the wake of the Great Recession (2007–08 to 2012–13), the number of school districts in fiscal distress surged. Many posted “qualified” budgets, signaling an inability to meet financial obligations for the current and next 2 fiscal years, and a small number posted “negative” budgets, indicating an inability to meet obligations in the current or next fiscal year. California economic forecasts are still uncertain, but a recovery is likely to take at least a few years. This slowdown could push many districts back into fiscal distress. In 2020–21, the state deferred a significant amount of funding to school districts in the hopes that federal stimulus funding would come through—something that has not materialized as of October 2020.

SoCalGas Grant helps bring free ST Math to over 700,000 Southern California Students! Los Angeles, Calif., July 14, 2020 — Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), the primary provider of natural gas to Central and Southern California, recently announced a $10,000 grant to MIND Research Institute to help sustain COVID-19 relief efforts in the Los Angeles area and beyond. The grant supports the estimated 200,000 students in SoCalGas’ service regions who utilized ST Math prior to the pandemic’s related school closures, and an additional 500,000 students who have joined the program since. According to a report published in April 2020 by NWEA, student progress in math is at greatest potential for risk due to COVID-19 related school closures, and students could return to school in the fall “with less than 50% of the learning gains and in some grades, nearly a full year behind what we would observe in normal conditions.” With support from SoCalGas, ST Math can help reverse that trajectory by providing students with access to meaningful math learning. Please click this link for the full article. Known for their ST Math program, MIND Research Institute is a nonprofit, organization committed to providing students with a solid foundation in math. They provide a ton of free printable STEM resources for families, as well as a new video and activity series, Developing Our MathMINDs, dedicated to supporting families that are now teaching and learning math at home. Their storybook board games, MathMINDs Games, are also available for purchase. MIND's flagship program, ST Math, is a PreK-8 visual instructional program that leverages the brain's innate spatial-temporal reasoning ability to solve mathematical problems. ST Math's unique, patented approach provides students with more equitable access to deep conceptual learning. At MIND Research Institute, our mission is to ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems. With schools across the country temporarily closing, we're providing resources and no-cost access to ST Math so the learning can keep on happening at home.

California ASCD 2020 Congratulates our Outstanding Instructional Leader Award Recipient Dr. Mary Ann Dewan, Santa Clara County Superintendent, was selected as the CASCD Outstanding Instructional Educator (OIL) Award for many reasons. She has vast experience spanning over 30 years in education. She has done extensive work in early learning, launching the Strong Start Coalition composed of community leaders and organizations to expand high quality early learning opportunities throughout Santa Clara County. She also demonstrates her commitment and focus on equity through the Inclusions Collaborative to provide more opportunities for students with disabilities to be meaningfully included. Her leadership also led to the My Name, My Identity - asking educators to pledge to pronouncing students' names correctly to foster a sense of belonging and to build positive relationships within the classroom. Most recently, as the Santa Clara County Superintendent, she has supported the 32 superintendents in the county in navigating through school closures by providing advocacy and garnering local financial support for connectivity and device needs within districts. She has organized twice weekly meetings with the Public Health Department and County Counsel to keep the district leaders apprised and supported. Dr. Dewan stepped forward providing resources and guidance during this most difficult time, advocating and supporting superintendents in a thoughtful, calm and deliberate manner. Her graceful leadership and critical listening provided the necessary support to allow for collective and timely support to each respective community. She is certainly an educational leader worthy of emulation. |
