Partnership trains future teachers to use arts to enhance classroom subjects |
|
A longtime partnership between the Segerstrom Center for the Arts and Cal State Fullerton’s College of Education has been providing future teachers with the strategies to incorporate art into all their subjects in the classroom. “The Arts: Avenues to Learning” program is a one-day workshop connecting preservice, multiple-subject and special education teachers – those students working toward receiving teaching credentials – with professional teaching artists from Segerstrom Center for the Arts. |

They feed children who can’t hold a fork. But these LAUSD workers will strike |
|
For 24 years, Peniana Arguelles has worked as a special education assistant in Los Angeles public schools. At Menlo Avenue Elementary School in South Los Angeles she feeds children who can’t hold a fork, changes diapers, helps students choose colors for their paintings, doles out hugs when they cry. Arguellas and other teacher assistants said their walkout is about respect. They are among the lowest paid workers in the district. Aides who worked with disabled students start at around $19 and can earn up to about $24 an hour. But they said their workload has become unsustainable. |

English learners and students with disabilities under-identified as gifted |
|
English learners and students with disabilities are under-identified as gifted and talented, but states that have specific policies requiring schools to offer services enroll these students at much higher rates.
That’s according to a new study conducted by NWEA, a research and educational services organization, using data from the 2017-18 Civil Rights Data Collection and the Stanford Education Data Archive.

LAUSD strike looms as sides trade barbs |
|
A potentially crippling strike by service workers that would shut down Los Angeles Unified School District campuses for three days was looming large Friday, with little hope of any resolution being reached before the planned Tuesday walkout. It was unclear when, or if, the Service Employees International Local 99 union — representing roughly 30,000 cafeteria workers, bus drivers, custodians, special education assistants and other workers — would be back at the bargaining table with the district.

Parents, staff push back against LBUSD plan that would leave some schools without librarians |
|
A new Long Beach Unified District Policy could leave some elementary schools without teacher-librarians for the next school year—and parents and staff are pushing back.
Parents and teacher-librarians, who are credentialed to educate kids with no teacher supervision, showed up in force to last night’s Long Beach Unified School District Board of Education meeting to protest the change in policy for library staffing, arguing that it would remove needed resources from district students.

Carver Elementary School ordered to close amid norovirus outbreak |
|
Carver Elementary School has been ordered to close for multiple days starting Friday, weeks after officials began detecting an increase in norovirus among students and staff. The decision to close the school through Tuesday, March 21, is the latest in a series of measures taken by officials to prevent further infection. The closure requirement comes from the Long Beach Health Department, according to Long Beach Unified School District spokesperson Chris Eftychiou, after more than 130 cases of the norovirus were found among students and staff since Feb. 22. |
