Problem ¡#1 ¡– ¡By ¡the ¡Numbers ¡

  • Nearly 9 out of every 10 black Maryland students and 8
  • ut of every 10 Latino Maryland students attends a

majority-minority school.

  • 1 of every 4 black Maryland students attends a school

that is 99-100% minority. On average, MD schools where 99-100% of students are minorities, FARMs rate is greater than 70%.

  • Typical Maryland student:

– White – school @ 27.2% low income student body – Black – school @ 54.6% low income student body – Latino – school @ 49.9% low-income student body

PROBLEM ¡#2 ¡– ¡ ¡

THE ¡CURRENT ¡MODEL ¡FAILS ¡TO ¡EDUCATE ¡ALL ¡STUDENTS ¡ ADEQUATELY ¡& ¡EQUALLY ¡

  • In 2020, it is projected that two-thirds of all

jobs will require postsecondary education and training

  • The fastest growing occupational clusters

will be in healthcare and STEM

  • The lowest rate of growth will be in blue-

collar occupations

  • By 2020 the US could be facing a shortage
  • f up to 95 million high-and medium-

skilled workers

  • Projections for the skills required to thrive

in the 2020 economy place a premium on interpersonal, complex problem solving, and decision-making skills

Economy and workforce demands are rapidly shifting

PROBLEM ¡#2 ¡– ¡ ¡

THE ¡CURRENT ¡STRUCTURE ¡LIMITS ¡INNOVATION ¡

  • The industrial, Victorian era

structure of our public school system matches an economic period from the past.

  • Twenty years of the charter

school movement shows us that unless conditions are different, schools are likely to continue just replicating slightly better, or worse, versions of traditional school models.

Schooling

  • ptions and

approaches not keeping pace with demands.

PROBLEM ¡#2 ¡– ¡THE ¡CURRENT ¡MODEL ¡FAILS ¡

TO ¡EQUIP ¡STUDENTS ¡WITH ¡NEXT ¡GENERATION ¡SKILLS ¡

  • The US performed below average

in mathematics and at average in reading on the PISA among the 34 OECD countries, with almost no change in performance over time

  • Maryland 4th grade NAEP scores

have only increased 5 points since 1992 (from 217-222)

  • Maryland 8th grade NAEP scores

have only increased 8 points since 1992 (from 260-268)

Academic

  • utcomes

are stagnant.

Authorization ¡OF ¡ ¡ NEXT ¡GENERATION ¡SCHOOLS ¡

  • Maryland State Department of Education authorizes the creation of Next

Generation Schools.

– Current legislation proposes the authorization of up to 5 schools.

  • 5 year authorization contract
  • School operator must be a non-profit, 501c3 type organization with an

independent board of directors that hold fiduciary responsibilities.

  • Must provide an extensive, comprehensive, and innovative academic plan

– Hi-Tech High School, California.

  • Must provide student integration plan which explicitly details how each

classroom will leverage students from different socio-economic backgrounds in one learning space.

Funding ¡AND ¡ ¡ NEXT ¡GENERATION ¡SCHOOLS ¡

  • Competitive grant application process
  • Per-pupil funding modeled off current LEA pupil funding

structure

  • Reimburse local LEA’s for each student from their

district who attends a Next Generation School

– MSDE approves reimbursement percentage

  • Leverage EDCO funds

17 ¡

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Autonomy ¡and ¡ next ¡generation ¡schools ¡

  • Schools are free from traditional school structures

– School curriculum and assessment plan proposed by school operator and approved by the State Board of Education – School calendar and hours proposed by school operator and approved by the State Board of Education

  • Schools are free from traditional accountability measures

– Schools must submit a student-centered evaluation plan which accurately measures student achievement and mastery of 21st Century skills

  • Human capital

– A percentage of teachers must be traditionally certified – Teachers would bargain as an independent unit under their union of choice.
