Client Challenge

As a former 11th gr US history teacher, I know that relevant & rigorous curriculum that reflects & engages students will increase student achievement. Not surprising that 1 yr of #EthnicStudies at #SFUSD creates lasting improvement in student grades+UC enrollment: www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s...

14/14. The cheating detector, by the way, turned out less interesting than the critical theory apparatus I loaded into it. That became Reframe: a praxis engine with 312 modules, 160K+ lines of code, 76 humanist frameworks. But that's another thread.

Gilroy Unified studies adding ethnic studies and financial literacy while weighing CTE expansion and A–G trade-offs At a March study session the Gilroy Unified board reviewed committee recommendations to add semester requirements in ethnic studies and financial literacy, maintain A–G alignment where possible, pilot financial literacy in 2026–27 and rely on a bond or grants to expand CTE facilities and credentials before moving away from A–G as a default diploma pathway.

The Gilroy Unified School District is at a crossroads, balancing new state mandates for ethnic studies and financial literacy with the need for career-ready pathways—what will they choose?

Perris Union trustees table districtwide ethnic studies adoption to gather more information Trustees voted 5–0 to table a districtwide ethnic studies A–G course pending more information on curriculum, enrollment impacts and funding. Staff said the pilot used one‑time funds and that the course is approved for dual enrollment by Cal State San Bernardino.

Perris Union High School District trustees have voted to delay the adoption of a districtwide ethnic studies course, seeking more information on costs and curriculum amid concerns from several board members.

Has the oppressor-oppressed binary passed its freshness date? - The Voice of San Francisco Is this the beginning of the end for the oppressor-oppressed binary in K-12 education? Now that it’s being recognized as a form of knowledge poisoning, this question is finally gaining some traction. ...

Periodic reminder that #SF is not in fact SuperWoke: this *MAGA-adjacent* analysis is written by a WW who teaches at Lowell, an academically competitive public HS. She objects to CA’s and the school district’s requirement that students complete #EthnicStudies classes 🙄 thevoicesf.org/has-the-oppr...
