📚New episode: What is the NYC Reads initiative? youtu.be/oocNLfEFndo podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pro…
There will be no new episode of Problem Posing this month. We are hard at work on the next episode and look forward to sharing it soon!
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/podcast/pro… - 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? Thanks to Jody Drezner Alperin from @NYCOptOut for helping us w/ this ep!
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/@problemposing… If we reach 1K subs, we can add ads to the eps which will offset the cost of creating them!
Just recorded the latest episode of @prblemposingpod on standardized testing!!!!!! 👀✏️👀✏️ for the culture
@DrKYSR @Blm_edu_nyc @BlackInNeuro @Okaikor @YoungPplofColor @breaksilencenyc Thank you so much for mentioning Problem Posing Dr. Salas-Ramirez!
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 @prblemposingpod @BxEU4J @UFTSolidarity @DOEChancellor @UFT
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
@prblemposingpod Why are Manhattan and Bronx HS starting before 8am?
@christinakcover 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.”
Good morning friends! Voting ends at NOON TODAY and we are 704 votes away from victory. Please vote & share on behalf of our @PS59BK chorus! #District14Strong #VoteFor59 m.cmpgn.page/zqNJRm @CMJenGutierrez @LincolnRestler @DavilaAssembly @greenline_news @nycpa @BKBPReynoso
The good news: the @PS59BK chorus has surpassed 1,000 votes in the sound of the season contest with @News12BK ! The bad news: WE NEED 800 votes to reach the top spot! Can we count on you to #VoteFor59? Voting ends tomorrow! m.cmpgn.page/zqNJRm #District14Strong
@christinakcover @prblemposingpod Thanks for creating this podcast to inform the community about @NYCSchools governance. youtu.be/WncZfckUI4I
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
THREAD 🧵 on who has the power to make decisions in (NY public) schools DOE schools: 1⃣ School: Principal/AP, PTA/PA, SLT 2⃣District: Superintendent, CEC 3⃣Citywide: PEP, CCECs, Chancellor, Mayor 4⃣ NYS Ed Dept 5⃣ U.S. Dept of Ed youtu.be/WncZfckUI4I podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pro…
A great new podcast helping you navigate education issues and stuff @NYCSchools and @NYSEDNews Give @prblemposingpod and @christinakcover a follow, y’all!

4⃣ New York State Education Department @NYSEDNews - In Albany - New York State Legislature makes laws that the Department ensures are implemented (Ed laws) 5⃣ U.S. Department of Education @usedgov - Oversees adherence to laws - Ed is mostly states-based
