are you saying that that hasn't delivered in the classroom? ents around the world have been fed this story about how ipads are going to revolutionise learning outcomes. now, i'm not picking on apple per se, but if you look at the ocd report in 2015 that talks about the adoption of tech in schools, whether it is microsoft or cisco and apple, to be honest, there is no evidence that they or any of these tech giants have led to significant improvements in learning outcomes in our schools, and i think that is a fundamental problem. we overestimate the impact that technologies have played already, whereas what i am proposing is that we are at a very nascent stage when it comes to the adoption of these technologies in classrooms, and nascent simply because teachers haven't been brought on board early enough in the design of these products and services, in the deployment of them, and that is what i think we need to be focused on. part of the issue is that even when we put technology in the classroom, it's not the device itself that magically transforms

what they thought about their skin color and of the others in the classroom. the photograph down below is from early education school and you'll see the child shark there. and the shark program is based on the positive behavior, intervention and support program that has to do with developing behavioral expectations. and so shark and itself, stands for safe, helpful, awesome, responsible and kind. and this one child is chosen monthly to don the shark costume and pass out certificates to children who are embodying the shark characters in school. >>> in addition to the classroom and school-based strategies, we also work with the district internally to deepen the pre-k to third grade supports and efforts. we work in planning at the school summit on ongoing basis with staff. we work to align with the preschool foundation and the curriculum and one of the areas is the study where we started off in preschool, and it's been expanded to kindergarten, first grade and hopefully next year to second grade as well. we work with various universities. we did a ready for k stud

i'm here to talk about the closing of drew and the two classrooms at redding. the fact that i did know about the closing. i didn't know that the parents weren't notified. when i went there on last week i was told the parents got a letter on april 15th. which is after the fact. and then they were told in the letter they may apply to another after school program. we know that's not right. on our website, it states that we strive to provide equity, we aim to improve students' achievement and hold ourselves accountable to students and their families. this decision to close the programs were not discussed with the families before the decision and that's not ok. we should go to the families and the staff at those sites and sit down and let's talk this problem together. and that did not happen. let's talk about equity and access. we don't want to be a part of that problem. they're part of the elementary school in case people don't know. where are the resources they need to keep that program open. so those parents and students will be disenfranchised and the staff at th

the young technicians also keep a close eye on the central heating settings for all the classrooms. a total of eighteen schools participate in this project and the advantages are already obvious the fledgling energy managers have helped their schools reduce energy costs by an average of ten percent. the school is really big it's got loads of rooms and when all the heating is on it gets really hot in here. we never used to pay this sort of thing any attention. but now we have to work group we're always thinking of ways to save energy and protect the environment. oh. this school janitor has had to get used to sharing his responsibilities with the students. the central heating system in the basement is still his realm but in the classrooms the children are in charge and. it's a bit funny now and then they check the computers to make sure everything's ok sometimes they need to intervene and make a small adjustment but on the whole they're doing it right. another school taking part is in the neighboring district the students here have a lot to contend with. the schools the sun has been re

[cheers and applause] >> in total, this brings the number of nbcts in san francisco to 291. about 8% of all certified staff. additionally, there are 150 candidates working to elevate tear practice for thelevatefor . on the behalf of the staff, we value the continued support of the board. in fact, other districts look to sfusd for a model of what district model support of what accomplished teaching looks like. i would like to interest a special education teacher at the middle school and newly certified nbt to share her experience.

in the world of education, these numbers are around seven additional days of classroom and are a really big deal, not only for the kids, performing school revenue perspective. having kids in seats is a really important component. what t.l.c. has done, and our team is visiting the program sites, the t.l.c. operating program have great relationships with the tools. part of the approach is working with school leaders and outlining what is impacting success look like, between schools and service providers, and hamilton recreation, some example snapshots here relative to access -- where these participants -- where are these participants coming from? this ties to looking at data relative to logistics and travel , as well as -- how do we track it on a consistent basis over time. they are showing proficiency levels across different academic indicators. showing this is who we are serving. what is great is when you use a growth model around percentage, if language arts test scores as part of the intervention and other program delivery, let's track that over time and map that to the engagement dat
