Tuesday Open Thread

NPR Student Podcast Challenge

Here's your assignment for next semester: Take a topic, a lesson or a unit you're learning about, and turn it into a podcast.

Yup, we're launching the first-ever NPR Student Podcast Challenge. It's a chance for teachers and students in grades five through 12 across the country to turn your classrooms into production studios, your assignments into scripts and your ideas into sound.

Start planning now — we'll open the contest up to entries on Jan. 1, 2019, and close them on March 31, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Then, our panel of judges will pick two winners: one from grades five through eight and one from grades nine through 12.

 I'll have an upcoming thread that will examine several different recent reports about SPS including its 2017-2018 Scorecard from OPSI, a review of the district's headquarters by a local consulting group, a recent review about Washington state charter schools by the State Auditor as well as a preview of the work on a new strategic plan for the district.

Oh look, yet another story about a basketball star moving to yet another SPS high school.  The student went to Garfield, then Hale  (who ended up taking the state title).  Then, last year, back to Garfield (where they won state) but the student found Garfield "unmotivating" and now...onto Rainier Beach.   It's this kind of demented silliness that gives high school sports a bad name.  And, the districts who shamefully look the other way.  I sure hope that when Rainier Beach HS takes the state title, we don't hear a lot of praise from district leadership as though something organic happened. 

Interested in learning more about the Native American education curriculum, Time Immemorial?

SCPTSA and SPS Huchoosedah Native Ed are inviting you to our first ever Since Time Immemorial and Cultural Appropriation training for our PTA/Seattle School Parent Communities. We are opening to all SPS and State Elected Officials as well. Attend in person or via the Zoom meeting. Tickets available below. This is immediately following the general membership meeting.

It's on Monday, December 3rd from noon to 2 pm at the Beacon Hill Public Library. 

It appears that the City Council and the Mayor were okay with taking funds from red zone camera funds and diverting them into the General Fund.  Because apparently there are no continuing safety issues around our schools that need to be addressed.  From KOMO tv:

The city's newly-approved budget moves $2.7 million from the city's Safe Routes to School program into the general fund through 2020. Prior to the shift, the city allocated 80 percent of red light camera revenue to the general fund and 20 percent to school safety projects.

Councilmember Lorena Gonzalez said Monday those school safety programs will still be fully funded; she said there's enough revenue to cover the programs and more.

And yet, RESMS has one highly-used crosswalk that is completely faded out (and no I'm not interested in whose job that is) and some schools don't have crossing guards.  This move was suggested by CM Sally Bagshaw who thankfully has decided to not run again.

What's on your mind?
