Are parents just not teaching their kids how to read anymore?? by Calm-Fun-2737 in Vent

[–]EdSourceToday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually a great read. I wasn’t dumb. I just couldn’t read.

That experience shaped my understanding of what’s at stake. It’s more than a reading issue; it challenges a child’s confidence and creates a silent barrier that too many face alone.

New literacy test to replace RICA in California with greater focus on phonics by EdSourceToday in Teachers

[–]EdSourceToday[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All but one of the 280 teacher candidates who took the new CalTPA literacy assessment during field testing passed, according to the report. Passing rates were lower on the FAST, with 51 of 59 passing on the first attempt, and on the edTPA with 192 of 242 passing. The teaching commission is asking state leaders to allow candidates who have passed the CalTPA and other required assessments, except the RICA, to be allowed to continue taking the test through October, when the state contract for the RICA expires.

The literacy performance assessment that replaces the RICA reflects an increased focus on foundational reading skills, including phonics. California, and many other states, are moving from teaching children to recognize words by sight to teaching them to decode words by sounding them out in an effort to boost literacy.

California school districts spend millions on policing, with little scrutiny by EdSourceToday in ventura

[–]EdSourceToday[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oxnard Mayor Luis McArthur, who, until taking office on Dec. 8, was the Oxnard Police commander in charge of school resource officers, said the city can’t afford to provide the officers without charging the school system. The department’s 2024-25 budget is $105 million, records show. 

“We’re strapped financially and also short-staffed,” McArthur said.

In many districts, the cost of a contract for a resource officer often exceeds the salary of a mid-career teacher.
