represent teachers that have achieved the recertification that have been with us sometime in the last 10 years and in the first time undergone this process the second time and one for the first time this year we do every single year celebrate and commend them in public first, i want to introduce the team we have in the district that support their work so if you'll please stabbed as i call your name with the department of leadership. >> (clapping.) >> the teacher on special assignment and supporting the national certification and sarah another teacher on special assignment. >> (clapping.) >> and they then not able to join us but an important member of the team carla not here but supports our candidates so thank

of a redesign national process and accumulated to see certified board teachers here every year and the redesign means the candidates have the opportunity to pursue certification over one, two or 3 years so we have sort of a hitch in the process we have a limited number of folks this year next year we're expected one and 25 folks to show up for the certified teachers and 200 teachers right now that are pursuing a national certification open a 1, 2, 3 and this year we'll have more informed a couple of developments i think are worth pointing out so for my of the teachers in the front roe right now for recertification 10 years ago it was often a solidarity process you may have been the only person in the

school thinking of this certification and been over the course here in san francisco many more educators recognize the value of the process for the perform growth and development and what is interesting the group of educators are pursue board certification and we have over thirty schools 3 or more teachers pursuing the certification together and better than a half-dozen schools with largo than six or seven it is about culture change that a distinction in the way the process is viewed by educators and generally by the field so my warmth congratulations for going through this process and in the second time and our certification for the teachers i

congratulate you as well i think any public comment back to the superintendent thank you. >> thank you, dr. stevens. >> (clapping.) >> i did want to add a few boastful comments about our national board certified teachers and also throughout our district just a few statistics if our district 200 and 52 national certified board teachers higher than the national percentage of board sifrtsd teachers as doctor stevens said two hundred plus candidates more higher concentration of our teachers are achieving this really difficult and very stenchly high standard of teaching so of our current candidates 55 percent

that are serving what we call the tier 2 and 3 schools serving relatively high concentration of underserved school and students we're proud of that and this is an important and vital part of our overview criteria pathway from class room teachers they're a critical element of our pathways for the teachers they serve as mentor to student teachers and new teachers as well as leader at the district and throughout our district level committees so the work i mentioned a little bit how odd we are by the lovely of effort that it takes to pursue and accomplish the

certification to a little bit of a favor this portfolio requires many localities so they include rigorous tests deep analysis of students work, video recording of their practice, and articulation of the teachers choice and the rational for those choices lots of ways of deepening their practice and observing the students and giving feedback not for the faint of heart we have amp teachers in the district that are accomplishing that at this point i'm going to turn it over to sarah for the next part of the recognition. >> thank you. superintendent sfusd has long vault the certification process both as a professional very

powerful professional learning experience and also as a maker of accomplished teaching mayor ed lee and i would like to acknowledge the folks that have support this for the 10 of 33 years serving san francisco unified teachers and students. >> (clapping.) >> she has never wavered from her commitment to assuring the support for all students and all teachers and in certification in particular candidates support and also the firm belief and commitment to the growth continued growth and leadership of one certified civil service is not the end of the party the start of the next party and deborah has a strong commitment to that thank you very much tonight we honor 6 of the 9 that successfully renewed

board at this time many of the facility issues that emerged at ad hoc mentioned concerns for the students that are underserved and impacted by the our district gap in achievement and opportunities such as african-american and latino children and those with i p for example, the data shows the students are limited assess to the language pathways and pac members want to know what we do to support with i p to participate in language pathways especially, since disproportionate numbers of african-american and latinos get i p we recognize that several challenges are identified sculpt of unintended consequences created by the assignment system and the district it contempt to interrupting the system and

structure that portals the invasion found in the school, however, it is not always long time how the system shifts to approve to this point the data has demonstrated for years that african-american and latino students does not turn in their enrollment applications on time for the first round of school offers and yet the efforts to interrupt this trend are not obvious pac members latino what concrete actions support the strategies is the district addressing for support for the african-american and latinos to participate in the first rounds of enrollment applications to shift that historical pattern we know those families don't participate in the first round of the enrollment the chances of african-american and latino

students gaining language pathways is further compromised into the high demand that is available this ripple effect a contributing factor to the shockingly low numbers of african-american students enrolled if pathway programs across the district one and 3 to be exact through kindergarten and 12 grades pac members wonder what are we are doing to specifically increase the african-american participation during the immersion language program over the years the pac has heard in our community conversations that school community struggle to bridge across the differences as students ethnicity and social economic background and home language specifically in schools where there is a dual educational pathways that is

exhausted the segregation to be more pronounced during the pac conversations on racial equity we learned the community are receptive to generally have conversations about cultural differences as a moenz means to work towards unite many of the principles need tools and coaching to address school cultural and climate issues the pac made concrete recommendations on this matter and still want to know what is the support and tools our school leaders and community getting to engage dialogue and focus ton bridging across cultural differences particularly in schools where the dual emerging programs to disrupt the isolation as we begin to explore

next contract in these challenging times when the public education is under attack when many of the students feel threatened by the trump administration it is critical that sfusd find its way to stabilize the schools by offering a substantial raise to all the nurses and librarians to all the educators that love the work who show up to do the work in the class rooms regardless of conditions and digging into their pocket and consulting as napa and la jolla and they do it everyday the time is now to turn the situation around we learned last week the district has vacancies for the next school year that is one out of every 7 teachers that is a crisis for the children we teach and a crisis for users and

time to turn it around we got off to a good start looking at the budget but our el cap the parcel tax passes it is the first step we expect did district to continue to look under every rock to go towards side stabilization of our schools and bring our creative efforts to the disabled we know we're counting on you and collective goodwill of our 6200 members to apply to get the means to keep our educators in the unauthorized unit or community i want to let you know from our facebook page you'll see what love means to them thank you.

>> (clapping.) >> hello so my name is dan it at the i'm a math teacher and coach anothers washington high school and before that a paraprofessional for 2 and a half years at maurnld i love my job advertised a lot of work i often put in 11 hour days and get paid a fraction of friends that work in the private sector when i made the decision to become a teacher he accepted that reality i get to do everyday work with young minds and a lot of problem solving skills they'll use for the rest of their lives and then go outside and teach athletics like sports manship and get to help

the athletics we focus so we can work towards earn the credits and going off to college however, unfortunately san francisco is becoming more and more expensive and i know i myself am in a position i am priced out of my situation if that happens the reality i might have to move out of city means i'll have to give up coaching and loss those young men or might have to move out of city and look for the jobs in other practices and loss 7 and a half years of my life and unfortunately i know my situation is not unique so i'm hoping as the

negotiations that san francisco unified school district can offer us the living wage so myself and colleagues can decade ourselves to developing the young minds and characters this great city produces at the full year. >> thank you, thank you. >> (clapping.) >> good evening members of the board some of i know i've been a 6 grade english teacher for 6 years i love our students and family our staff our school before it was renovated and that makes it harder to rush out of the building to start the second commute i feel like i'm abandoning my desired as i lock my classroom door i have to move

out of san francisco in 2015 in order to afford rent and my sustainability loans i have a commute between one and a half to 3 hours per day i used to spend to those with my students my students could come to me completing applications and help are assist anything they knew i'll check if about the families and students that work in the skoovpdz knew i'd make myself available the oldest students help their young sisters and brothers at least not there for them i don't make enough money to that move back to inform nor to been pretty much properties with the help my only choice to

think about the unthinkable working towards a master's degree i'm afraid i can not afford to be the teacher in the san francisco unified school district the teacher teacher for some of the vulnerable families that the students love and as negotiations there are hundreds of memo me it is not thousand and parent in my position - we really want to be here thank you. >> (clapping.) >> good evening, commissioners superintendent and student delegates so 27 years ago this holiday valentine's day was renamed in my house hearts giving day my daughter called it is fitting for today because of
