AFTER 209: NOW WE MUST RAISE ACHIEVEMENT OF K-12 KIDS By Richard C. Atkinson San Jose Mercury News, April 10, 1998 THE University of California made headlines recently with the news of dramatic declines in the number of underrepresented minorities African-American, Latino and Native American students admitted for the freshman class that will enter this fall at our Berkeley and Los Angeles campuses. Although the numbers for the UC system suggest far less dramatic declines, the message is clear nonetheless: In this post-Proposition 209 era, when race and ethnicity can no longer be used in admissions, the only way to reflect the population of California in our student body is by raising the level of educational achievement in our K-12 schools. Of UC's more than 800 programs devoted to supporting and strengthening education in the schools, some of the most exciting are those that use computers and the Internet. UC is a national leader in educational technology, and we are using this advantage to create a new kind of outreach to California's children. One such program, UC Links, is a computer-based after-school activity for children, primarily in the elementary grades. With the help of UC student tutors, for example, a child can explore the world of numbers (by setting a virtual clock) or discover the many dimensions of language (by creating a story to go with computer-generated pictures).

29. Welcome To California Open Source Textbook Project COSTP's goal is to make the latter pricing scenario a reality, while providing multipleadditional advantages for california's k12 schools, teachers, students http://www.opensourcetext.org/

The California Open Source Textbook Project (COSTP) is a collaborative, public/private undertaking. It has been created to address the high cost, content range, and consistent shortages of K-12 textbooks in California. It is important to note that COSTP's mandate does not replace printed textbooks ; it simply makes them less expensive to produce; and, in doing so creates many additional benefits, economies, and efficiencies that will fully leverage California's activities in the K-12 textbook publishing domain. The cost of K-12 textbooks has risen steadily over the years. Whatever the reasons for increasing costs, it seems likely that today's high K-12 textbook prices are not inevitable. The past history of textbook prices, and the existence, even today, of textbooks that occasionally cost significantly less than average, indicates that textbooks could be produced and sold for 33-50+% less than currently charged by textbook publishing companies. COSTP's goal is to make the latter pricing scenario a reality, while providing multiple additional advantages for California's K-12 schools, teachers, students, and taxpayers.

(Photo by Jon Akana) SACRAMENTO - Members of the Education Coalition, which includes parents, teachers, school board members, administrators and classified employees from across the state, today warned against any drastic cuts to California public schools. During news conferences in Sacramento and San Francisco, the groups warned that any cuts to public education - particularly any mid-year reductions - would directly impact the more than six million children in our public schools and derail current efforts to improve student achievement. "Any mid-year cuts will devastate our schools," said Mary Bergan, president of the California Federation of Teachers. "In order to save the amount of money being discussed, the state would have to shut down our schools for two full weeks, reduce per-pupil spending by $300 or lay off more than 35,000 teachers."

California Schools Implementation Network (CSIN) The California Schools Implementation Network (CSIN) offers a complex professional development program for schools that are interested in an in-depth and long-term process for schoolwide change, using science or mathematics as the curricular focus. Since its inception in 1988, CSIN’s professional development program has affected more than 36,000 teachers and over one million students. Our Goals To provide in-depth professional development to increase teacher content knowledge and pedagogical skills; To promote leadership development and capacity for schoolwide change; To develop staffs who are knowledgeable about science reform and teach with confidence and content mastery; and To create an ongoing, living network that maintains advocacy of elementary science as a core subject while assisting schools in holistic reform and change. How We Achieve Our Goals CSIN professional development centers around enhancing teacher content knowledge, addressing teacher practices and beliefs, facilitating pedagogical techniques that are effective for all students, analyzing student work for conceptual understanding and student growth, engaging administrators and the community in reform efforts, and developing teacher leaders. CSIN Promotes Student Achievement Student achievement in schools that have participated in CSIN for more than three years shows a significant difference from schools that have participated for less time. The first group outscored the latter on multiple choice questions, open-ended questions, and performance tasks.

Links High Performance Schools According to the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS), "Nearly 6.2 million children, teachers, and administrators—1/5 of California's population—spend their day inside a school." With such a large portion of the population spending so much time inside schools, both the design and the construction of high performance schools are gaining popularity. What are high performance schools? K-12 Schools Higher Education Case Studies What are high performance schools? High performance schools join together the very best of today's design strategies and building technologies, as well as: Provide a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. Conserve energy, resources, and water. Function as a teaching tool. Serve as a community resource for neighborhood meetings and functions. Ensure easy maintenance and operation. Create a safe and a secure educational atmosphere. Also, high performance schools are cost-effective and help to protect the environment. K-12 Schools In 2000, the California Department of Education identified a shortfall of over 430 new schools necessary to accommodate the state's growing K-12 population. Over the next five years, $3.3 billion per year in school funding will be required to meet the new construction, modernization, and deferred maintenance needs in California. As school expenses rise, it becomes even more important to find new ways to minimize cost. High performance schools are an innovative and cost-effective alternative in controlling operation and maintenance expenses.

Bridging "the gap" was a very important point of discussion at the RISE working conference . The gap is a cultural one, causing unintentional breaches of etiquette, miscommunication and frustration. The cultures of education, scientific research and business are all quite different. Therefore establishing a successful science-education partnership means the cultures must be bridged. Throughout the website, strategies are offered for approaches that are culturally sensitive. In addition, three articles are offered here which will help provide you with an understanding of the culture of K-12 education. RISE would be interested in receiving comments and suggestions for expanding this section. Caution! Your ideas about what helpful contributions you might make may be off-base.

The Digital California Project Fact Sheet Purpose The objective of the Digital California Project (DCP): K-12 Statewide Network is to create a digital infrastructure to help prepare the next generation with the skills to excel in the network-driven economy. The DCP creates a cohesive and seamless statewide advanced services network backbone that reaches into each of the State's 58 counties. The DCP provides access to rich content resources for teaching and learning, to prepare students with the basic knowledge and specific skills to inspire them to enter and be successful in higher education and in the 21st century workforce. Origin The DCP is an initiative proposed by Governor Davis to provide $31.6 million annually. This amount was approved by the California State Legislature as part of the FY 2000/01 budget. Management The University of California has the leadership role in overseeing the project and administering the funds. CENIC, under contract with University of California, is responsible for planning, implementing and managing the DCP. CENIC has created a DCP Program Steering Committee with broad representation of the education community to guide various aspects of the DCP initiative from network design to content delivery. Goals The goals of the DCP are to: * Provide a common robust statewide network communications infrastructure for the K-20 systems in California;
