4:30 am
and we have every department and see a night actively involved in creating course content. that involves work with our language arts curriculum, our math program all the signature pedagogy. the racial equity movement team involved as well in developing modules about implicit bias but identity stereotype threat and we are leaning on some content that tmg p brings. some of the work i talk to are related to engagement establishing presence existing on when i percent presentation that some of the content team tp is bringing. it's been a work of this group to blend the two sets of content into something we think is meaningful. >> than one team tp is gone after three years, then what? >> correct. it's meant to just as a scaffold towards completely district owned program that was the allure in the partnership is that there was never an attempt at the program requiring ongoing relationship with ken tp. the design was sort of a scaffold support with an exit strategy.
4:31 am
>> so i hurt we heard the reference of the tfa. i have a different thought process. i actually think this is exciting were going to provide a pathway to credentialed individuals already committed to the district and within the district and working in the district but the one thing that spray concerning to me is the conversation that did or did not happen with principles in terms of was thereby and is in you may have had this conversation did that twice it did work did not but which is for problematic tfa and models like that is if you're hired pencil the heart performance: get 10 candidates are going to go with the credentialed teacher that is more experience. so what ends up happening is our schools but don't necessarily have as many options as takers to come into the school if you will end up with educators that are lacking the experience. so what do we do to safeguard that? lets it
4:32 am
down with our performer principles of high-performance was and how can we get them to buy and to these models and pull the brunt of these interns were candidates. first is setting up a model that's going to ensure that they're going to schools that need more qualified and credentialed teachers. more so than anything. >> i wish i could say i have more than i agree with. i think you're absolutely in your analysis. we want all our schools to share the responsibility of conducting our newest staff the rhino falls disproportionately on some of our list challenge schools. i'm doing that i don't have the formula for how to do that although there's many internal conversations going on right now trying to think about things like compensation, teacher leadership professional
4:33 am
work conditions, the role of leaders and keeping staff in schools. all of those things together probably represent some strategy for curbing the turnover in most challenging schools and it's a conversation at this point. more than we have a well articulated strategy commissioner walton >> i do just want to push a little harder on the point of getting buy in from high-performing schools. again i think that is where we get into the doing things different. and strategies around there. versus again we work towards incentives for educators to go in the were performing schools but maybe we can get groups of principles that high-performing schools to take some of our educators to pathway programs if there is some value for them and doing something differently in that aspect because we already know what has not worked and what we need to do
4:34 am
more in certain areas but this is something that i think may be a little bit different in terms of school of thought. >> yes. i think you're speaking to something that we have been having conversations about it's certainly something that we are thinking about. i will second speak to the point necessarily our high-performing principals but i will say my team in a chart has been already setting the stage with principles in conversations.. particularly, to the point of commissioner tim mendoza was questioned earlier about current staff members are either emergency shoulders teachers we need to get into a prevention program and pencils are excited by the possibility to attain their staff but, to, also think more broadly about
4:35 am
their staff currently. with their paraprofessionals. the of afterschool workers and their substitutes they worked with that they feel great passion but the community are just looking for pathway into the program were into teaching with us so i will say that the feedback so far from has been fairly positive. however to the point of them being hired within the schools we do allow significant autonomy to our principles. we are not placing them sensually in schools. but i hear your point and it is certainly something were talking in terms of buying in. i agree with you. >> dr. stevens you mentioned something earlier something about the research. with the resource at about the post models like this. without going into every detail, what is the research saying? >> essentially the headline is that there is a way to contemplate programs like this that have a start in the summer that rely on intern credentials to people teaching in classrooms and over the course of that year that they are able
4:36 am
to meet a set of high criteria and earn a credential that is entirely possible that i would be happy-a present to the board or share information about the specific findings but essentially it's a model that when done well can yield good results. >> to commissioner sanchez the point were somewhat the direction he was going i know for me not to like this with the team i would rather see with the pie in the sky costs look like what the best model is to have a [inaudible] teacher to work with an interim would love to abc with a price tag is. before we get we say we can't afford it or doesn't work because of cost. because as you know you care me say this all the time some things were going to pay for potato with the trade-offs may be. so it would be nice to know what the cost
4:37 am
looks like and going back to another point those made by commissioner haney because i agree i been pushing hard on hr. i been pushing hard to make sure we come up with aggressive women and retention strategies so i appreciate this work. but where is the common ground or where is the space and place where we can say we are we start off. you don't get to 75 this first year and we make sure that were doing a great job in bringing in educator said to be sustainable, work hard and stay in the district if there is--but i also get the point of emergency teachers not have the opportunity to get into credentialing program. just food for thought as we think about that but as we move forward about cost, though you care me say this all the time i rather see with a price tag is
4:38 am
just before we abandon something to be on the resource. we don't have the money because we may want to put our heads together and figure out what we need to do and what the trade-off is on that. on that note i also think that there is a way that we can work better together as a district with our community with her educators with her parents at times. some things some decisions would've to make people are not point to like it the understand that. we have some strong conversations about issues and topics tonight. but there's also way to do things to make sure that we do get by in soweto are ready to press go people are on the same page. they are working together and so i just want us to be mindful that as we move forward in how we do the work because everybody's talking always be on the same page but how we work together is important through the process. commissioner murase did you
4:39 am
have any think we are you still there quick >> three quick questions. first i want to applaud the team [inaudible] >> emily obama second. we're trying to get you on the microphone. go ahead. >> i just want have three quick questions. first, i want to applaud the team under the direction of that stevens. this enormous amount of work and it shows. i really want to appreciate all the thoughtfulness going into it. at the same time, i'm a little bit concerned about the criticism by our partners about the program and what i don't want to see is a two-tiered
4:40 am
system where some teachers are coming in [inaudible] not fully supported by other teachers or other [inaudible] i'm hoping i'm also asking our labor partners to come to the table and help us get to a program that everyone can support. lee building on pres. walton's comments. finally, i know that the number of people we can [inaudible] has to be limited. i'm hoping we can really make an effort to grow our own that something that i think we have a ways to go in our district. we really need to make a commitment to provide development opportunities for people who done things, taken on roles within our district and it can be adding [inaudible] talk about [inaudible] people been working in our district whereas i feel
4:41 am
like when we recruited a whole bunch of educators in our district they found how difficult it's been to find permanent housing. so i think we try to grow our own we can reduce some of that turnover. >> thank you commissioner murase for those remarks. we lived to commissioner murase is the most federal sure thing to things that fall to the cool cat appeared to recently received grants at the district and one $100,000 award from; cowboy class but school employee teacher assistance program. $100,000 that simply sits there to all folks achieve
4:42 am
undergraduate degrees. were to work through teacher credentialing programs. this is to help folks enter the workforce. we are proud about one of the [inaudible] is a contract that has to do with fully developing a proposal to americorps. to support folks who are in our teacher academies to events become harris and teach it we are to $75,000 and in grants which will pay for the expenses of the planning that's in one of the-and that we would lead to a successful obligation to americorps for something like $1 million a year that will support folks to move all away from high school to undergrad into our classrooms. we are excited about that. >> before i turn this into superintendent leigh there are some good things in my set about the cost of a mix about the opportunity to prorate and
4:43 am
go across sake i think would be very beneficial for affordability. i'm hoping we get past some points and move this forward but thank you so much good superintendent leigh >> thank you pres. tremont. before i make some brick very brief comments on like to ask deputy superintendent-i see that he would like to make comments as well. he was just a couple things that get first of all thank you for the team. this is been a lot of work in a notes over a year in the making it was a year ago i totally far for starters but this first opportunity to be important i think to refresh all our members and also for news missionaries to get a copy of the rant dinardo. since we are talking dollars this is a three-year seed grant. this is boring effective educators to bowman grant. it's a three-year $14 million grant that is being provided through tng key to the three main and sub school districts, boston dallas and san francisco. with the notion
4:44 am
of providing technical assistance to build a program that is part of a portfolio of pathways into teaching into our school of course. role traditionally brought up to will always have a preference but we also of a real need. 500 vacancies a couple hundred teachers on emergency credentialed at this another way to do it to create a program that instills her priority areas are core values, etc. in-house could already the team we met willie important milestone getting accreditation as an le i saw a small matter. kudos on the guilt we continue to shape it agreed. need to continue to work with our stakeholders so means all of our needs. we want to shortchange people coming through this pipeline not be successful at that something were deftly be paying attention to. i swear put some numbers
4:45 am
divvy up the arithmetic that's about 1 million happen services that's coming to the district during these three years rob .10 how's it working. so aside from internal program evaluation part of the seed grant includes the program evaluation that can be conducted by those three just while some findings there you can also contemplate as well. >> thank you deputy superintendent. i just want to echo some of what others have said but just to also appreciate the quality that took place tonight i really do think this is an example of the kind of work that is a district multiple voices, multiple roles contributing from our respective roles. so obviously the work that the staff teams has done has been very meticulous and thorough and i to want to appreciate the team for the presentation but more importantly for all the work that's been going on for quite a long time. and the stakeholders educators of san francisco especially with
4:46 am
everyone else on the advisory group. it really is a collective effort and as many of the commissioners pointed out tonight it is--i was very impressed by the nature and quality of the discussion that you lead in your questions and in your comments about the program and what you are because i really do think that all those points were very important and will help improve our work and improve our thinking and this is a systemic chronic challenge and it will take this type of high-quality licorice and inclusive discussion and i just want to say partly in response to commissioner sanchez and i know you agree with me on this, commissioner, that we have to do multiple things differently and well could so it's not a matter of one strategy versus
4:47 am
another strategy. we certainly have to focus continue to focus on compensation and we are glad we sunshine with the you esf tonight were looking forward to our bargaining sessions beginning next month and we have tried to make up some ground over the last couple of years. we've managed to increase her compensation of base compensation for united educators for example by 14% since july of 2014, i believe. we have more ground to continue to make up. so we get that and we have to think about creative pathways. mr. think about induction. if does about creating a culture that will incentivize all of our employees to want to stay for as long as they can or as long as we can incentivize them to stay. so multiple things could we have to do all the above. look forward to taking all the feedback that all of you contributed to do our thinking and we will be back in touch.
