Tuesday Open Thread

BREAKING: The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 25,000 points for the first time.

BREAKING: The parents at my kid's Baltimore public school raised their own money to keep the school librarian.

It was reported to me that former director Stephan Blanford had spoken at a Race and Equity team event.  My source stated that he said that "he took a two-month family trip to Europe to purge his time at the school board." He also said that he was the only director who always pointed out that race had to be considered in all the decisions the Board had to make.  Apparently, he's going to just keep doubling down on being disrespectful to his former colleagues.  I have to wonder what Directors Patu and Pinkham must think, also being people of color.

I asked the district if he were an employee or this was a volunteer gig.  The district says:
 

He did, however, give the keynote on Critical Race Theory at Saturday’s racial equity team training. My understanding is he received honorarium.

Washington State leads the nation for National Board Certification for our teachers.  From OSPI:

Numbers released today by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) show that Washington has the most new National Board Certified teachers (NBCTs) of any state (1,434*). The total number of 10,135 NBCTs is third in the country overall. 

 

Certification is a one- to five-year process that includes taking an assessment and assembling three portfolios. According to the NBPTS, completing the certification shows that each teacher knows and practices “the definitive standards of accomplished teaching.”

Washington by the numbers for 2017: 

Number of new NBCTs: 1,434 (national rank: 1st)
Number of renewed certificates: 533
Total number of NBCTs: 10,135 (national rank: 3rd)
88 percent of all Washington’s NBCTs (about 8,900) remain actively engaged in education 

 

I checked and it looks like SPS has 600 teachers with this certification.

What's on your mind?
