RE: Opportunity to Learn Standards
JEANNIE OAKES - I UTTERLY AGREE (IT CANNOT BE STATED TOO MANY TIMES!) THAT 'One of the tough-minded structural changes at the heart of the plan (THAT) will transform California's K-12 schools is the development of Opportunity to Learn Standards" that specify what government agencies—the state and school districts—must provide all schools. 'These standards spell out the educational essentials that many California students now lack: a qualified teacher, a curriculum aligned with the state's standards, enough texts and materials for both classroom use and homework, clean and safe learning environments and so forth. 'It's simply unthinkable that California doesn't have such standards already.' |
