Big 8th Grade Algebra update! D4 Supervisor @alankennywong + parents calling for @SFUnified to do 8th Grade Algebra right at tomorrow 10AM press conference! Public pressure works! Let's keep the momentum going!

Schools need to align their "support" for struggling students with the core curriculum, two new reports argue. Otherwise, "incoherent" instruction holds kids back. Makes sense--unless the core curriculum itself is incoherent. More in my new post: nataliewexler.substack.com/p/most-struggl…

Recognizing student writers! ✒️📚 @CA_Supt Tony Thurmond and CDE invite school districts and educators to nominate student writers who have published books to attend a celebration of their work at the Capitol in April.

Pineda: Nine million students who are now 16 or 17 years old will be voting for president in 2028. What are we doing to prepare them? buff.ly/P0RXc8M

SFUSD MATH UPDATES: - SFUSD is significantly off-track in getting 8th graders to grade level in math - The BOE will vote on offering Algebra to all 8th graders, but will that vote include how access will actually be implemented? Tune in on 3/24 to hear more 🧮

Who says SF doesn’t have great middle schools? Congratulations to SFUSD’s AP Giannini MS and Roosevelt MS on this well-deserved distinction 🏆🍎

The anti-Ed Tech and pro-book movements are gaining momentum, especially for elementary grades. Let's get the memo to the nation's curriculum selection committees, pronto. They're making curriculum choices right now that schools will live with for the next 5-7 years. My latest for @CurriculumIP: Feat. @JonHaidt @natwexler @mark_bauerlein @KelseyTuoc

🍏 NEW, POST-STRIKE PLEA: In this commentary, @sfunified parent and SF Parents Coalition board chair @jennieherriot says SFUSD & @uesf must be more collaborative for the sake of SF students, and a statewide workshop is a great place to start thefrisc.com/the-sf-teacher…

@JonathanClayba1 And what happens if they don’t? 😬

@SFParents I don't see how we get out of negative certification with the additional expense load of the contract which requires spending down reserves + relying on parcel tax funds that have an expiration. That's if the state approves this at all...

Grateful teachers got a better contract. Relieved kids get back to school. Worried about how this is going to affect our standing with the state. Back to negative?

The $183 million deal for the nearly 6,000 educators will increase SFUSD’s annual budget by nearly 15%, with no indication that future local, state or federal revenue will cover the new costs. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
