|
The state Department of Education has awarded an additional $15 million to a partnership led by the Orange County Department of Education to further expand California MTSS, which aims to better support the academic, behavioral and social needs of students statewide. The funding will allow OCDE, working jointly with the Butte County Office of Education (BCOE), to partner with UCLA’s Center for the Transformation of Schools to expand the state’s Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework to develop evidence-based tools and training for educators and school systems. |

Orange County portrait: Low wages, child poverty, costly housing |
|
The grim litany is spread across 80 pages of numbers, charts and maps in the 2018 Orange County Community Indicators Report. Consider these snapshots: Poverty among Orange County children has risen by 24 percent since 2010, according to the U.S. Census. Factoring in the cost of living, 1 in 4 local children is poor. In 2017, 48 percent of Orange County children were developmentally unready for kindergarten, many because of poor communication and motor skills. |

Preparing teachers to personalize their classrooms |
|
Devonna Alatorre discovered her passion for teaching in prison. As a senior at Cal Poly Pomona, she co-taught a math class at a nearby men’s prison. “I saw how students — any students — can become invested in math,” she said. “It inspired me.” After earning a degree in applied math and statistics at the California State University campus east of Los Angeles, she worked for a year as an Americorps math tutor at Summit Tahoma, a small San Jose high school that’s part of the 11-school Summit Public Schools charter network. |

New law streamlines credentialing of out-of-state teachers |
|
Educators who earned their teaching credential in another state will be able to lead a classroom by demonstrating competency, rather than having to earn another degree or participate in redundant training under a bill signed last week by Gov. Jerry Brown.
The bill, authored by Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell, D-Long Beach, eliminates the requirement that effective educators trained in another state earn a master's degree or demonstrate 150 hours of professional development in order to earn a Clear Credential in California.

Preschool access varies wildly across L.A. County and the state |
|
Seventy-one percent of 4-year-olds are enrolled in a licensed center or transitional kindergarten for at least half of the day. But access to those programs varies wildly in L.A. County and across the state. That’s according to a new study from the University of California, Berkeley, and the American Institutes for Research (AIR), which breaks down pre-k access county by county. |
