The next episode of the pod is going to be about special education in NY: what special education is, a history of special education laws, what IEPs are, rights that students their parents/guardians have in the IEP process. What would you want to be included in this episode? ✏️

Why do students take standardized tests? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
- The MAP Growth test is one example of what the DOE calls a periodic assmt:
Some say: Helpful in understanding "learning loss" during pandemic
Critiques: Difficult to administer, test does not lead to resources

Problem Posing Ep. 4: Why do students have to take standardized tests? 🤔 youtu.be/1mDSXf-Z02k
This class, we discuss tests in NYC/NYS and consider – who makes them? Do they test what they say they do?

Asking anyone that's liked the
@prblemposingpod
eps this year – ab why students go to school, school $, school governance – to subscribe to the pod on YouTube! youtube.com/@problemposing89…
If we reach 1K subs, we can add ads to the eps which will offset the cost of creating them!

From massive budget shortfalls, non hepa purifiers & proven systems of inequity- we are a broken system with power hungry administrators who operate with impunity. NYC Students deserve better and we are failing them 2/2

The @NYCSchools of today is not child-centered. Decisions made by "leadership" are done w/o conversation with school based staff. If we, as a workforce, don't listen to those doing the work, what are we basing initiatives on? 1/2 @educatorsofnyc @MOREcaucusUFT @EducationCounc1

CECs have little power actually, especially the citywides, we are supposed to be consulted but rarely are prior to any decisions made, the DOE treats us as mostly performative representation. “We decided to do this thing and want your opinion on it but we are going do it anyway.”

After working on this episode so many takeaways, a few:
🗣️ Superintendents must consult the SLT before hiring new principal
🗣️ many CEC member roles are *vacant* throughout the city I think people should apply
🗣️ though PEP will expand in Jan, Mayor still has majority of power
