Welcome from Moderators

Thanks to everyone for your intelligent and vigorous discussion yesterday.  We certainly have a active and knowledgeable group of people online.

Today's theme is Student Learning - the focus of the entire Draft Master Plan. 

As you add your perspective, please use the "REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE" feature of our dialogue software, and put in a subject line that lets the group know what the message is about at a glance. For example, if you are joining the discussion for the first time today we hope you will say a little about yourself and your interest in California education in your first message. So please use the word "Introduction" as your subject line.

Today's panelists are:

Judith R. James, Vice Chancellor, California Community Colleges; 
Pete Knight, State Senator;
Jeannie Oakes, Presidential Professor, UCLA;
John Vasconcellos, State Senator.
