Friday Open Thread

I note this new documentary, The Test and the Art of Thinking, on SAT/ACT testing; looks good.  

Community meeting with Director Burke on Saturday at Fremont Library from 3:30-5:30 pm.

Oh look, the district is having yet another Advanced Learning Taskforce.  My advice? Don't bother.  The charge is hugely overarching and they are going to take a year for the work.  Complete nonsense.

I was on one of these taskforces (along with Charlie).  They only allowed us to discuss HCC when the original charge had been HCC, Spectrum and ALOs.  The district ignored most of what we put forth and it was a complete waste of my time.  I can only imagine now - when HCC has somehow become such a flash point - who will sign up for the work.  I think I can say right now that district staff will shape the membership to suit the outcomes they want.

Of note from the Trend, the newsletter of the UW College of Engineering newsletter; they will be doubling the number of computer science degrees from 300-600.

Also, UW's Direct to College (DTC) freshman admission process expects to have over 700 students in their cohort.

Prior to arriving on campus, sutdents will be paired with an engineering adviser and peer mentor to help guide them through their first year.  

As well, attendance at their Engineering Discovery Days in April saw them hosting over 10,000 elementary, middle and high school students on campus. 

Heads up for the Washington Women in the Trades Job Fair at Seattle Center on May 11th. 

Exhibitors include apprenticeship programs, governmental agencies, colleges, vocational training and corporations. Among many others, past participants have included King County, Gary Merlino Construction Company, Inc., the Boeing Company, and the Seattle Fire Department. Training programs include apprenticeships with the Sprinkler Fitters, Carpenters, Laborers, Operating Engineers, Pipefitters and Electricians. There were over 80 exhibitors in 2017.

Some of the exhibits are outdoors. There's the inimitable Seattle City Light climbing pole, Seattle DOT's shovel test and King County Facilities' build project. Each provides a hands-on dynamic experience while learning about opportunities in the construction trades.

They encourage schools to send students and have some bus transportation dollars for that effort.

From Ed.gov, the Civil Rights Data Collection report, wide-ranging education access and equity data collected from our nation's public schools.  It's a huge amount of information if you like a deep dive.

The CRDC includes data about:

• Enrollment Demographics
• Preschool
• Math & Science Courses
• Advanced Placement
• SAT & ACT
• Discipline
• School Expenditures
• Teacher Experience

New data items for 2015-16 CRDC include:

• Math and science classes taught by certified teachers
• Enrollment in Algebra I in Grade 7 and Geometry in Grade 8
• Offenses
• Pre-K discipline
• Days missed due to suspensions
• Transfers to alternate schools
