About 30% of California students who took the first California Science Test met or exceeded the new 'Next Generation Science Standards'
But five years into those same tests, only half of students met state English standards and 40% met math standards. The so-called Smarter Balance Summative Assessments, based on Common Core English and math standards, are designed to measure how well students have met learning goals set by the state and create statistical snapshots of learning at their schools, their district and California.
New teachers may be long-term substitutes or working with emergency teaching permits, and many veteran teachers are not well-trained in the new standards, explained State Board of Education President Linda Darling-Hammond. Gov. Newsom’s proposed budget includes $900 million for teacher training and retention, including a large chunk for STEM teacher professional development.
In one L.A. County high school where Sandoval and colleagues were helping a group of teachers implement the new science standards from 2015-2018, about 40 students crowded into a science class, and the tight space and lack of materials prevented them from conducting experiments. There were not enough computers for the students, so virtual labs were out too.
The Cal State L.A. program requires teachers-in-training to learn about and acknowledge their biases, and provides paid classroom residencies where they are paired with mentor teachers in L.A. and Pasadena schools. Aspiring teachers are encouraged to ground their lessons in what’s happening in the community — connectingnot just to polar ice caps, but to the students’ own water quality, for instance.
