video and district evidence by the kaiser family foundation whereas a recent ucla studying their social skills improved after spending time away from the screen and whereas the children and teens are excessive screen times and whereas the american academy of pedestrian asterisks that children under the angel of 19 spend no more than mann than 2 hours a day in front of the the tv and the san francisco unified school district doesn't have a guideline for entertainment in the classroom and withdraws the quality of movies and television shown in the sfusd cloos classroom therefore, be it

resolved that the san francisco unified school district building that see use of video media and clips and television broadcasted and movie have educational value and can separate the value and instruction in the classroom and therefore, be it resolved and taking into consideration the age and developing very well level of the students and be it resolved that the board believes that the instructional time is valuable and further be it resolved that the board buildings it must be a successful use of time and be it resolved that the media is important to make sure that the responsible use of video and media and further be it resolved

by the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year the board questions the instructor builds the guidelines and articulates them to the families and further be it resolved that the guidelines are not limited to the teachers should be allowed a certain amount of segregation as long as the use of media is a standard of lone being taught and films are to be utilized in if the films are previously approved by the site mist and linked to the writing for a set of standards wherever possible an examiner should be used inform target the structural lesson rather than having the students watch the whole piece and the appropriate techniques

must be occupied and included in the lesson plans and approved by the instructor sun shining television programs and other entertainment purposes at the is as a class reward is not directly connected to a class lesson will be a violation of the policy. >> thank you commissioner norton i don't have speaker cards on this item comments from the board or superintendent. >> i just wanted to thank my colleagues for entertaining this change to our policy or addition to our policy that is an issue i've been watching for a long time and something i have over the years received a number of complaint about from parents i want to be clear i don't think that inappropriate of use of television in the classroom is widespread in our schools i

think there are a few instances i've heard about egregious but this is really just a yardstick for administrators and teachers so we all can be on the same package i've tried to state i think there are a lot of situations where an excerpt or a full film can be an incredibly rich part of the instruction i just want the teachers to be thoughtful when and how they're to be used and talking to the teachers will the use. >> commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell i'm supportive and certainly have experiences myself but i'm curious in terms of enforcement and consequences

and what that means for your resolution and how we will enforce something like that i don't want to have any conflict between parents and teachers around this wanting them to figure out how to enforce it in an appropriate way and then my second comment just i'm sure will we'll have opportunity where the administration will allow like science and parades to be viewed by your students and other appropriate celeby opportunities so i wanted to put a side note on that one. >> superintendent carranza. >> yes. thank you commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell so giant prartdz, of course, and warriors

parades, of course, and 49ers pradz all seriousnessness he wanted to thank commissioner norton because this is a place in our policies that was silent around appropriate guidelines for the instruction materials as a social studies teacher for example, it was one thing to give the students the text of the reverend dr. martin luther king speech but giving the clip of the sprn that is appropriate, however not appropriate to show the entire two hour documentary of the march if it's not within the context of the development of the process so show clips that will allow the principles and teachers to actually have conversation about the structure

of the clips and the additional resources we're anticipating that basis if the board approvals this policy to have some conversations between site administrators and teachers as they are planning their instruction there will be principle exemptions around the policy which is referenced around the appropriate use and above all thank you commissioner norton for your writing this policy below all no zealousness one way or other banning clips in the classrooms but not have the attitude you're showing something from the lion king and pressure port to be part of the biological to tie the instructional clips to the curriculum so what will come

from this a series of guidelines and principles will be included in what the guidelines will look like and then dialog between the teachers and the site administrator so we don't expect this to be a controversial norman and as commissioner norton mentioned we have a vast majority have teachers that are using extremely good judgment that will help us put perimeters around instances we wish there was more structure. >> can i had a follow-up question how this applies to after school programming. >> we can get back to you specifically i think part of what mr. truit and his department has done i think you'll agree having a student

watch a full length movie is not the way to exercise the mind and body so we'll have did the around this. >> i have commissioner vice president haney and delegate. >> can i respond to superintendent carranza i think it's a good question and the instructor to create a policy i love about thinking about after school but as far as enforcement so depending on how this happens sometimes is a conversation or a written warning i think depended on the administrators discretion and enforcement. >> commissioner vice president haney. >> i'm a little bit invented it

the circle of life is not part of the curriculum (laughter) but i wanted to thank commissioner norton that was an issue we've talked about a number of months ago i really appreciate the way you went about this and how careful the language is and the balance working with the curriculum staff and that all of us knew that was a tricky issue of how it was defined. >> what was the right time to use it is it a provided guidelines at the same time give the flexibility that's needed that the instructor brought up i hope we community that to our teachers and make sure that we are providing the need begins and clarity around this so we're not sending the message they

can't use the lion king or reiterating i want to give the wrong message there's a lot of things in the media is a power he teaching tool so thank you for balancing this carefully i'll have to look at the lion king in a different way now (laughter). >> delegate chair. >> thank you commissioner president murase i'd like to thank rachel norton i feel like when i am in my classroom i feel like the teachers are over using the random videos i'm not going to name teachers i really like this proposal i never knew you shouldn't exceed two hours when you're on your phone or computers that proposal will definitely help thank you.

>> commissioner wynns and commissioner fewer i'm interested particularly in the participation of teachers and principles in the development so i'd like to you know have an update i'm interested in that and when we implement that how - i'd like an update to how it gets incorporated into the planning and the curriculum development of the school sites with the instructionsal development at the school sites because in my commerce not having a teacher or principle but that's the kind of thing that is rarely discussed at school sites how effective the use of whatever you're using to

supplement your curriculum materials and how fast to maximize the effectiveness i'll be interested to hear with the principles and teachers have to say how it plays ate u out it is something not easy for a lot of people so whatever we can i mean my interests maybe just to inform myself but i think this is a real something where the colleagues and peers can help each other a lot i'd like to know how that develops thank you commissioner norton so for bringing this forward. >> commissioner fewer. >> thank you. i think this is appropriate to bring now as we do our curriculum mapping as we require teachers to do the curriculum mapping with the common core there will be a lot of film clips and things of that nature although i think that

bullying letters day off is great i can see how it's inappropriate for our students and i do think throughout i mean having children in the school district 3 of them i've witnessed myself an inappropriate use of film so thank you for breaking and entering this forward. >> given this the resolution i'd like to ask the author if your name's can be added to the resolution any further comment seeing none roll call vote. >> on this as amended public utilities ms. so on at that commissioner fewer mr. haney. >> ms. mendoza-mcdonnell arrest ms. norton. >> minnesota. >> mr. walton and dr. murase. >> 7 i's. >> thank you very much or thank you commissioner norton the next
