Still, it’s a problem that resists easy answers or quick fixes, said Sherrie Reed, executive director of the California Education Lab at UC Davis and a researcher with Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE), an independent research nonprofit affiliated with several California universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of simply aligning the state’s minimum high school requirements with A-G requirements hasn’t gained steam because of the concern that it would result in fewer students graduating, said Mayra Lara, the director of Southern California partnerships and engagement with Ed Trust-West.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\">What are A-G requirements?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px\">\u003cem>The details of A-G requirements can be arcane, especially for students and parents who are not familiar with the college admissions process. The state requires students to complete a minimum of 13 courses to receive a high school diploma.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px\">\u003cem>But to attend a UC or CSU requires that a student takes 15 courses in seven areas: history, English, math, science, foreign language, arts and an elective. Each category has its own letter, A-G, which is where the requirements get their name.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px\">\u003cem>These courses overlap with high school requirements, but they are also more rigorous. For instance, three years of English are required to graduate from high school, while A-G eligibility requires four years. Only one of those years can include English as a Second Language or English Language Development — courses that English learners are often enrolled in.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px\">\u003cem>Low grades are a common way students fall off the A-G track. A “D” is considered a passing grade for a high school diploma, but A-G classes require at least a “C” to count as eligible.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state, instead, has offered carrots for districts working on improving poor A-G rates, especially those that have a large marginalized student population, such as those who are low-income, English learners, homeless or have a disability. In 2021–22, the state set aside over $547 million for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fo/profile.asp?id=5785&recID=5785\">A-G Completion Improvement Grant Program\u003c/a>. The state has also pushed dual enrollment and career technical education to the high school curriculum, both of which can help students meet their A-G requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Progress has been slow. The number of students who have met A-G requirements statewide has ticked up just shy of four points over the last six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Understanding why any given student may or may not meet A-G requirements requires examining what is happening in a particular region or district, as well as disparities within schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The answer is that it is all of that,” Reed said. “No one factor accounts for it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students said that graduating without meeting A-G requirements sent them the message that they were not college material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brock Wooster-Mills, 20, said he felt “doomed to fail” as a student with a disability attending Liberty High School in Bakersfield, where 49% of students do not meet A-G requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Partial hearing loss had affected Wooster-Mills’ ability to speak and follow lessons in elementary school. But even when his hearing improved, his counselors in the Kern High School District wouldn’t allow him to transfer into required A-G courses such as French and geometry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"education\" label=\"More Education Stories\"]He remembers one special education teacher telling his class they likely wouldn’t even attend a community college, but Wooster-Mills said he always knew he was capable of more. He enrolled in Bakersfield College in 2021, the fall after he graduated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s now in his sixth semester, but his lack of academic confidence and inadequate preparation continue to dog him. In high school, he had never been taught how to write an essay. He had never studied a foreign language, which made Spanish daunting. He failed the first time he took it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like I’m still behind,” he said. “I wasn’t taught what I was supposed to be taught.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>College increasingly important for economy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Researchers said preparing students for college is increasingly important for the American economy. By 2031, 72% of jobs will require a college degree or post-secondary education, such as an associate degree, \u003ca href=\"https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/projections2031/\">according to the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most high schools in the state — 91.4% of traditional district schools, according to PACE — do offer a full slate of A-G coursework that puts them on track for college. But the degree of access students get to those courses or support, once they have enrolled, varies greatly, resulting in wide disparities between groups of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Interactive Map\" link1=\"https://edsource.org/2024/interactive-map-most-california-high-school-students-dont-take-courses-needed-to-apply-to-csu-or-uc/705550, Most California high school students don't take courses needed to apply to CSU or UC\"]PACE released a \u003ca href=\"http://blog.csba.org/ag-completion/\">series of briefs and reports\u003c/a> on the A-G completion rates in summer 2023, noting that access to rigorous coursework — whether dual enrollment, Advanced Placement or other college preparatory courses — can profoundly change the trajectory of a student’s life. These courses not only set students up for college admission but make it more likely that a student will pursue college in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers found that some high schools do not offer the full range of A-G courses. In 2018–19, 2.5% of schools offered no A-G courses, and another 6% only offered some A-G courses. The list also includes small and rural schools that struggle to hire teachers who are qualified to teach A-G required classes in fields such as math, science or foreign language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, 84% of schools that do not offer a full range of A-G courses are charter schools focused primarily on credit recovery for students at risk of not graduating from high school. Charter schools tend to be outliers in both directions; schools with the highest and lowest A-G rates — where fewer than 40% or greater than 80% of students meet A-G requirement — tend to be charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Changes in high school can help\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Adelanto High is a part of Victor Valley Union High School District, which serves communities in the High Desert, including Victorville. Cheap, abundant land attracts residents priced out of the Southern California housing market, but there is little economic opportunity. Unemployment is high, and so is the poverty rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The kids get stuck here because there’s a cycle of poverty,” said Aleka Jackson-Jarrell, the coordinator of the Heritage program at Adelanto High.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educators in Victor Valley Union High said that beyond ensuring that students have all of their options open to them upon graduation, it is not their role to choose a path for students. Military or trade school are options celebrated at the school, but educators tell students that a bachelor’s degree will be key for most students who aim to earn better wages and escape the cycle of poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Money talks,” said Yee, assistant superintendent of instructional services for Victor Valley Union High.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District leaders said ensuring that students meet their A-G requirements opens up two key options for students: being eligible to apply for a CSU or UC school and having the preparation to succeed at a community college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like much of inland California, the rate of students completing their A-G is low in Victor Valley Union High. In 2016–17, 13% of students in the district completed their A-G coursework, but it has been improving: that number rose to 29% last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victor Valley Union High has been making districtwide changes that administrators said are key to putting more students on track for A-G completion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheduling is important, Yee said. Creating a master schedule that prioritizes disabled students or English learners ensures these students aren’t missing A-G coursework because of a scheduling conflict. Some schools also build tutoring into daily schedules for struggling students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district studied students’ transcripts to figure out how to improve their chances of meeting A-G requirements. For instance, they found that students who took foreign language classes as freshmen or sophomores were more likely to fulfill this requirement because they had time to retake classes to make up for any poor grades. Students are now required to begin their foreign language courses by sophomore year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victor Valley Union High also rolled out two programs aimed specifically at groups of students that were struggling the most: Black students and long-term English learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Homing in on groups who need the most help\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Heritage program, aimed at Black students like MarQuan Thornton, was piloted in 2022–23 at Adelanto High. Beginning sophomore year, every Black student in this High Desert school is automatically enrolled in this program that ensures students are prepared for graduation as well as college and a career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thornton said the program had helped him, even ensuring he made up classes he struggled with during his sophomore year. He now boasts a 3.7 GPA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A-G completion rates for Black students at his high school improved. In 2021–22, 6% of Black students met their A-G. The following year, when Heritage began, that number jumped to 26%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of its early success, the program is not only being rolled out at other campuses in the district but is also being used as a model for Legacy, a program aimed at long-term English learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students in both Heritage and Legacy are sorted into four groups. Level 1 students are on track to graduate from high school with A-G requirements, while Level 4 students may be in danger of not graduating from high school at all. The coordinators hold monthly sessions with each group on topics ranging from filling out the FAFSA form or making up failed classes to basic life skills students need when approaching adulthood. Students also visit college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents are invited for workshops at school to understand the importance of A-G classes and learn how to support — and perhaps badger — their children into staying on track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heritage coordinator Jackson-Jarrell said that having a background similar to her students’ helps her connect with them. She dropped out of high school when she was younger. She tells students that earning degrees — starting with an associate degree and ultimately obtaining a doctorate — helped her go from making $4.25 an hour to making six figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her counterpart at Silverado High, Jose Velasco, teaches Spanish and runs the Legacy program. Like many of his students, Velasco is a child of immigrants whose first language was Spanish. He checks in to make sure students have access to bilingual aides so that they can understand the content in their college preparatory classes, such as geometry or history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Heritage first began, Jackson-Jarrell experienced pushback from non-Black teachers, parents and students questioning the need for a program focused solely on one group of students and pointing to other programs, such as AVID, that focused on college and career readiness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were hit with questions like, ‘Why is this program just for Black students? It’s not fair,’” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson-Jarrell would tell them that the data was showing that overwhelmingly, Black students need the most support meeting A-G requirements and that they have unique needs and challenges that Heritage addresses. When students visit college campuses, they try to imagine themselves fitting in. Not seeing Black students on campus can reinforce the idea that they don’t belong on a college campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re looking for themselves,” Jackson-Jarrell said. “They feel like they don’t belong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, Heritage will often ensure that when they visit campuses, they can meet directly with students from the Black student resource centers. This upcoming spring, Heritage students are invited on a tour through the American South, visiting historically Black colleges and universities. Legacy makes a point of visiting with Latino student groups on campus for similar purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson-Jarrell said that programs like Heritage and Legacy are important for the community’s economic development and hopes to see more programs like them in other districts in the High Desert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Superintendent Carl Coles concurs. Increasing the rigor of students’ coursework and preparing them for higher education doesn’t just set students up for success; it improves the prospects of their families and the larger community. The district’s renewed focus on A-G requirements, he said, goes right to the core of why education is so important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coles said, “It really is so that every kid can live a life of purpose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2024/most-california-high-school-seniors-shut-out-of-even-applying-to-the-states-universities/705635\">\u003cem>This story originally appeared on EdSource.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Of 1,766 high schools in California, about half graduated more than 56% of students lacking the required college preparatory courses.

Still, it’s a problem that resists easy answers or quick fixes, said Sherrie Reed, executive director of the California Education Lab at UC Davis and a researcher with Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE), an independent research nonprofit affiliated with several California universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of simply aligning the state’s minimum high school requirements with A-G requirements hasn’t gained steam because of the concern that it would result in fewer students graduating, said Mayra Lara, the director of Southern California partnerships and engagement with Ed Trust-West.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\">What are A-G requirements?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px\">\u003cem>The details of A-G requirements can be arcane, especially for students and parents who are not familiar with the college admissions process. The state requires students to complete a minimum of 13 courses to receive a high school diploma.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px\">\u003cem>But to attend a UC or CSU requires that a student takes 15 courses in seven areas: history, English, math, science, foreign language, arts and an elective. Each category has its own letter, A-G, which is where the requirements get their name.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px\">\u003cem>These courses overlap with high school requirements, but they are also more rigorous. For instance, three years of English are required to graduate from high school, while A-G eligibility requires four years. Only one of those years can include English as a Second Language or English Language Development — courses that English learners are often enrolled in.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px\">\u003cem>Low grades are a common way students fall off the A-G track. A “D” is considered a passing grade for a high school diploma, but A-G classes require at least a “C” to count as eligible.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state, instead, has offered carrots for districts working on improving poor A-G rates, especially those that have a large marginalized student population, such as those who are low-income, English learners, homeless or have a disability. In 2021–22, the state set aside over $547 million for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fo/profile.asp?id=5785&recID=5785\">A-G Completion Improvement Grant Program\u003c/a>. The state has also pushed dual enrollment and career technical education to the high school curriculum, both of which can help students meet their A-G requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Progress has been slow. The number of students who have met A-G requirements statewide has ticked up just shy of four points over the last six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Understanding why any given student may or may not meet A-G requirements requires examining what is happening in a particular region or district, as well as disparities within schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The answer is that it is all of that,” Reed said. “No one factor accounts for it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students said that graduating without meeting A-G requirements sent them the message that they were not college material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brock Wooster-Mills, 20, said he felt “doomed to fail” as a student with a disability attending Liberty High School in Bakersfield, where 49% of students do not meet A-G requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Partial hearing loss had affected Wooster-Mills’ ability to speak and follow lessons in elementary school.

In 2018–19, 2.5% of schools offered no A-G courses, and another 6% only offered some A-G courses.

She tells students that earning degrees — starting with an associate degree and ultimately obtaining a doctorate — helped her go from making $4.25 an hour to making six figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her counterpart at Silverado High, Jose Velasco, teaches Spanish and runs the Legacy program. Like many of his students, Velasco is a child of immigrants whose first language was Spanish. He checks in to make sure students have access to bilingual aides so that they can understand the content in their college preparatory classes, such as geometry or history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Heritage first began, Jackson-Jarrell experienced pushback from non-Black teachers, parents and students questioning the need for a program focused solely on one group of students and pointing to other programs, such as AVID, that focused on college and career readiness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were hit with questions like, ‘Why is this program just for Black students? It’s not fair,’” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson-Jarrell would tell them that the data was showing that overwhelmingly, Black students need the most support meeting A-G requirements and that they have unique needs and challenges that Heritage addresses. When students visit college campuses, they try to imagine themselves fitting in. Not seeing Black students on campus can reinforce the idea that they don’t belong on a college campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re looking for themselves,” Jackson-Jarrell said. “They feel like they don’t belong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, Heritage will often ensure that when they visit campuses, they can meet directly with students from the Black student resource centers. This upcoming spring, Heritage students are invited on a tour through the American South, visiting historically Black colleges and universities. Legacy makes a point of visiting with Latino student groups on campus for similar purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson-Jarrell said that programs like Heritage and Legacy are important for the community’s economic development and hopes to see more programs like them in other districts in the High Desert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Superintendent Carl Coles concurs. Increasing the rigor of students’ coursework and preparing them for higher education doesn’t just set students up for success; it improves the prospects of their families and the larger community. The district’s renewed focus on A-G requirements, he said, goes right to the core of why education is so important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coles said, “It really is so that every kid can live a life of purpose.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2024/most-california-high-school-seniors-shut-out-of-even-applying-to-the-states-universities/705635\">\u003cem>This story originally appeared on EdSource.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11975553/half-of-california-high-school-seniors-are-unprepared-for-state-university-requirements","authors":["byline_news_11975553"],"categories":["news_31795","news_18540","news_8"],"tags":["news_18538","news_29912","news_20013","news_27626"],"featImg":"news_11975577","label":"source_news_11975553"},"news_11971693":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11971693","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11971693","score":null,"sort":[1704492263000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"a-quick-guide-for-caretakers-of-kids-english-learners","title":"Is Your Child an English Learner?

Instead, UC plans to create a working group that will spend the next six months considering the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regent leaders insisted Thursday that their intention is to ultimately permit the hiring of undocumented students, but said they want time to carefully consider the issue, including legal strategies. If implemented, UC would be the first known institution to argue that a federal statute barring the hiring of undocumented immigrants doesn’t apply to state entities. Doing so could attract a legal challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is our intention to find a way to allow employment opportunities for all our students regardless of their immigration status,” John Pérez, a regent and former chair of the board, told reporters following the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Richard Leib, chair, Board of Regents, University of California\"]‘We have a moral obligation to try to do what we can, because it is ridiculous.

DACA offered permission to work for tens of thousands of young people, but the Trump administration ended the program in 2017 and no new applications have been accepted since then, leaving many undocumented students in higher education ineligible to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undocumented student leaders with the Opportunity for All Campaign, the coalition that advocated for the policy, said they consider Thursday’s vote a victory. Students had lobbied the regents with a demonstration Wednesday, the second day of the three-day regents meeting, on the campus of UCLA, where the meeting was held. The students and their allies held signs calling for UC to allow the hiring of undocumented students as they took turns speaking and then marching across the campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we were going for was full implementation, but I still consider this a win,” said Carlos Alarcón, who is pursuing a master’s degree in public policy at UCLA. “They’re creating a working group to come up with a plan of how the UC will implement and there’s a deadline of November.

Advocates say the investment is long overdue, as arts education has declined in most districts — particularly those in lower-income areas — for decades. While the state requires arts education in grades one to six and a year of arts education in high school, it’s up to districts to decide how to fund and implement it. The result has been an inconsistent patchwork of arts programs that leave many children with little exposure to music, dance, art and other creative forms of expression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11928837,news_11927353,mindshift_58668\"]Proposition 28 funds will be distributed according to enrollment, with 70% based on overall enrollment and 30% based on Title 1 enrollment. In all, districts will receive an additional 1% of their funding allotment to spend on the arts. School boards must certify districts’ Prop. 28 budgets annually, post the expenses on the district’s website and submit the information to the state Department of Education, where it will be available to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools must spend 80% of the money on teachers and aides, which should help alleviate California’s teacher shortage, with the remainder of the funds earmarked for art supplies and materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We talked to former Los Angeles Unified Superintendent Austin Beutner, a chief backer of Proposition 28, about what students, families and schools can expect when the measure goes into effect in 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What, specifically, will Proposition 28 do for California schools?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 28 will provide about $1 billion each year in funding to California public schools, so all 6 million students in pre-K through 12th grade can participate in arts and music at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where will the money come from?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The funds will come from the state’s general fund.

It was who was I going to have lunch with my first day of school since I didn’t know anyone. Fortunately, a music teacher invited me to a lunchtime class. Cello became bass and then guitar. Along with it came a sense of agency and confidence. I could play in front of thousands of people before I could speak in front of tens. But it all started with a group of friends and a sense of belonging in that fifth grade class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone who has had the opportunity to participate in arts and music has a story like mine. The arts are universal, and they’re the glue that bonds together literacy and math in a good education. I want to make sure every child in every classroom has the opportunity to participate in arts and music and experience their own story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the status of arts education in California schools currently?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, barely 1 in 5 California public schools has a full-time arts or music teacher. That’s not acceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What kinds of arts activities and projects can students and families expect to see come out of this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 28 will provide funding for traditional forms of creative expression like music, theater, dance and visual arts, as well as more contemporary areas including filmmaking, animation and graphic design. A novel feature of Prop. 28 is each school community will get to decide how the funds are used. We didn’t want the bureaucrats in Sacramento or school districts to dictate any particular approach. Families can help decide what they want for their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11934207\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11934207\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"three high school students work on a colorful nature-inspired mural\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students work on a mural in an urban art class at Rudsdale Newcomer High School in Oakland in 2019. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will there be a broader impact in California?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact will be seen in schools and communities, where Prop. 28 will create more than 15,000 additional jobs for teachers and teachers’ aides as well as in community arts organizations. This will help prepare California schoolchildren for good-paying jobs, not just in the arts but in other sectors where the creative-thinking and problem-solving skills they learn can be applied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Longer term, Prop. 28 will lead to greater diversity in the technology, media and entertainment industries as a broader population of students in California public schools find the doors of opportunity open for them with their newfound skills and experiences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the benefit of arts education generally for students?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research shows children who participate in the arts have better attendance in school and higher achievement in academic subjects. In addition, the arts help students with their social and emotional well-being.

My hope is this will start a movement which other states join to provide all 55 million children in public schools the opportunity to participate in arts and music at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prop. 28 passed by a wide margin. What does that tell you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 28 passed with more than 64% of the vote, the largest margin of victory ever for an education initiative in California. The state Voter Guide showed our arguments for the initiative while the opposing page was blank but for the words, “No Argument Was Submitted in Opposition to Prop. 28.” Because there are none.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time in a long, long time, teachers and school staff were joined by artists and entrepreneurs along with business, labor and community organizations to support public education. Proposition 28 is the first guaranteed increase in funding for California public schools in 34 years.

While the state requires arts education in grades one to six and a year of arts education in high school, it’s up to districts to decide how to fund and implement it. The result has been an inconsistent patchwork of arts programs that leave many children with little exposure to music, dance, art and other creative forms of expression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"Related Stories ","postid":"news_11928837,news_11927353,mindshift_58668"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Proposition 28 funds will be distributed according to enrollment, with 70% based on overall enrollment and 30% based on Title 1 enrollment. In all, districts will receive an additional 1% of their funding allotment to spend on the arts. School boards must certify districts’ Prop. 28 budgets annually, post the expenses on the district’s website and submit the information to the state Department of Education, where it will be available to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools must spend 80% of the money on teachers and aides, which should help alleviate California’s teacher shortage, with the remainder of the funds earmarked for art supplies and materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We talked to former Los Angeles Unified Superintendent Austin Beutner, a chief backer of Proposition 28, about what students, families and schools can expect when the measure goes into effect in 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What, specifically, will Proposition 28 do for California schools?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 28 will provide about $1 billion each year in funding to California public schools, so all 6 million students in pre-K through 12th grade can participate in arts and music at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where will the money come from?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The funds will come from the state’s general fund. There will be no new taxes or increase in tax rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is arts education important to you, personally?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a shy kid entering a new school in fifth grade during the middle of a school year, my concern was not literacy or math. It was who was I going to have lunch with my first day of school since I didn’t know anyone. Fortunately, a music teacher invited me to a lunchtime class. Cello became bass and then guitar. Along with it came a sense of agency and confidence. I could play in front of thousands of people before I could speak in front of tens. But it all started with a group of friends and a sense of belonging in that fifth grade class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone who has had the opportunity to participate in arts and music has a story like mine. The arts are universal, and they’re the glue that bonds together literacy and math in a good education. I want to make sure every child in every classroom has the opportunity to participate in arts and music and experience their own story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the status of arts education in California schools currently?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, barely 1 in 5 California public schools has a full-time arts or music teacher. That’s not acceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What kinds of arts activities and projects can students and families expect to see come out of this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 28 will provide funding for traditional forms of creative expression like music, theater, dance and visual arts, as well as more contemporary areas including filmmaking, animation and graphic design. A novel feature of Prop. 28 is each school community will get to decide how the funds are used. We didn’t want the bureaucrats in Sacramento or school districts to dictate any particular approach. Families can help decide what they want for their children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11934207\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11934207\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"three high school students work on a colorful nature-inspired mural\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/12/RS35690__DSC6710-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students work on a mural in an urban art class at Rudsdale Newcomer High School in Oakland in 2019. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will there be a broader impact in California?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact will be seen in schools and communities, where Prop. 28 will create more than 15,000 additional jobs for teachers and teachers’ aides as well as in community arts organizations. This will help prepare California schoolchildren for good-paying jobs, not just in the arts but in other sectors where the creative-thinking and problem-solving skills they learn can be applied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Longer term, Prop. 28 will lead to greater diversity in the technology, media and entertainment industries as a broader population of students in California public schools find the doors of opportunity open for them with their newfound skills and experiences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the benefit of arts education generally for students?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research shows children who participate in the arts have better attendance in school and higher achievement in academic subjects. In addition, the arts help students with their social and emotional well-being. That’s timely and important as school communities and the children they serve recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>With the passage of Proposition 28, how will California compare to other states in arts education?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The passage of Prop. 28 makes California a leader in arts education and will lead to the largest investment in arts and music in our nation’s history. My hope is this will start a movement which other states join to provide all 55 million children in public schools the opportunity to participate in arts and music at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Prop. 28 passed by a wide margin. What does that tell you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 28 passed with more than 64% of the vote, the largest margin of victory ever for an education initiative in California. The state Voter Guide showed our arguments for the initiative while the opposing page was blank but for the words, “No Argument Was Submitted in Opposition to Prop. 28.” Because there are none.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time in a long, long time, teachers and school staff were joined by artists and entrepreneurs along with business, labor and community organizations to support public education. Proposition 28 is the first guaranteed increase in funding for California public schools in 34 years. I hope we can build on this and continue to advocate for the best possible education for the children in California’s public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/what-prop-28-funding-will-mean-for-arts-education-in-california/682054\">This story was originally published by EdSource.\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11934191/what-prop-28-funding-will-mean-for-arts-education-in-california","authors":["byline_news_11934191"],"categories":["news_29992","news_18540","news_8"],"tags":["news_31716","news_32101","news_31754","news_25178","news_29912","news_32100","news_25717"],"featImg":"news_11934194","label":"source_news_11934191"},"news_11922496":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11922496","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11922496","score":null,"sort":[1660590571000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"universal-transitional-kindergarten-in-california-how-parents-can-get-their-kids-ready","title":"Universal Transitional Kindergarten in California: How Parents Can Get Their Kids Ready","publishDate":1660590571,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Going back to school is always a bit of a sticky transition.

What is transitional kindergarten, or TK, and is it mandatory?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>TK is a stepping-stone between preschool and kindergarten. Both TK and kindergarten are entirely optional. Children are only required to attend school in California once they turn 6. Until that age, it is up to parents to decide whether to enroll their children in preschool, transitional kindergarten, or other child care arrangements or keep them at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>2. Is TK free? How is it paid for?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Children can attend TK at no cost because it is part of California’s K-12 public school system. Districts receive funding for TK students based on average daily attendance, which is the average number of students in attendance over the course of the school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>3. Why was TK first introduced in California?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/understanding-transitional-kindergarten-a-quick-guide/585073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TK\u003c/a> came about after the Legislature approved the \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/sen/sb_1351-1400/sb_1381_bill_20100930_chaptered.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kindergarten Readiness Act\u003c/a> in 2010. Until then, children who were 4 years old on Sept. 1 could still enroll in regular kindergarten as long as they turned 5 by Dec. 2 of that year. But the new law changed that. Beginning in 2012, children had to be 5 by Sept. 1 to enroll in kindergarten.[aside tag=\"education, kindergarten\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That left out about 100,000 kids who had to wait an extra year. In response, transitional kindergarten was established in 2012 to serve those 4-year-olds who would previously have been eligible for kindergarten.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>4. What is the difference between the current TK program and the new universal transitional kindergarten program?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Currently, TK serves about 100,000 children, primarily those who turn 5 between Sept. 2 and Dec. 2. These are the students who narrowly miss the cutoff for regular kindergarten. The new $2.7 billion universal TK program, by contrast, will gradually be made available to every 4-year-old in California, eventually serving nearly 400,000 students. It will essentially become California’s version of a universal preschool program, available to all children regardless of income.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>5. How long will it take for universal transitional kindergarten to be fully rolled out?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It is expected to be rolled out beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, expanding annually until it is available to all the state’s 4-year-olds by 2025-2026. The plan is to gradually phase in younger students each year. However, some school districts are ahead of the curve, having already expanded TK to most 4-year-olds.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>6. How large will the class sizes be?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Small class sizes are optimal to give young kids the attention they need. Individual instruction is a pillar of quality early education, experts say. The ratios for TK are expected to start out at 12 students to 1 teacher or teaching assistant and transition to 10 students to 1 teacher by the 2025-2026 school year. That is about half the size of many current TK classes, many of which rely on parent volunteers to help teachers. Many preschool settings enjoy an even smaller ratio. Head Start, for instance, generally keeps an 8-1 ratio in its preschool programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>7. How will school districts pay for the new classrooms and facilities necessary to suit small children?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The state has earmarked about \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB130\">$490 million in the latest budget to build new facilities and make adjustments to existing ones\u003c/a>, such as building out right-size water fountains and restrooms with pint-size potties and sinks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>8. What are the challenges facing this massive expansion of TK?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Staffing is one of the biggest hurdles ahead. There is already a teacher shortage in the state. California will need an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 new teachers and 16,000 new teaching assistants as transitional kindergarten expands, experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>9. What will the credential requirements for TK teachers be?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Currently, TK teachers are required to have a multiple-subject teaching credential, the same credential teachers need for all the elementary grades. By 2023, TK teachers also will need to complete an additional 24 units of early childhood education coursework or the equivalent, as deemed by their employer, or they will need to hold a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/child-development-permits-(cl-797)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">child-development permit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>10. What are the plans for recruiting and training new transitional kindergarten teachers?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The state has allocated \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$100 million in competitive grants\u003c/a> to school districts for recruiting teachers and providing ongoing professional learning. The state is also looking at various options for making it easier to meet the credential requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>11. What will TK teachers get paid?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>That is ultimately determined by districts, but typically, TK teachers are paid the same as kindergarten teachers. It should be noted that K-12 teachers generally earn about 38% more than preschool teachers and child care workers, according to \u003ca href=\"https://cscce.berkeley.edu/workforce-index-2020/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment\u003c/a> at the University of California, Berkeley. That wage disparity helps explain why 17% of the state’s early childhood educators live in poverty, experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>12. Is there a pathway for preschool teachers, a workforce that's predominately women of color, to move into TK careers?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.ctc.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Commission on Teacher Credentialing\u003c/a> has developed a proposal that would create a pathway for preschool teacher permit holders to gain the preparation they need to teach TK without completing all the requirements for a multiple-subject teaching credential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, about 49% of early childhood teachers in child care centers have a bachelor’s degree or higher, according to Berkeley’s \u003ca href=\"https://cscce.berkeley.edu/early-educators-equipped-to-teach-tk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for the Study of Child Care Employment\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>13. Will TK be a full-day or a half-day program?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Universal TK, like kindergarten, is a local choice of full-day or part-day.

Championed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and many lawmakers, the new $2.7 billion \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/how-californias-new-universal-transitional-kindergarten-program-will-be-rolled-out/657818\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">universal transitional kindergarten\u003c/a> program is being hailed by many experts as a game changer for families in California with almost \u003ca href=\"https://www.kidsdata.org/topic/34/child-population-age-gender/table#fmt=141&loc=2,127,347,1763,331,348,336,171,321,345,357,332,324,369,358,362,360,337,327,364,356,217,353,328,354,323,352,320,339,334,365,343,330,367,344,355,366,368,265,349,361,4,273,59,370,326,333,322,341,338,350,342,329,325,359,351,363,340,335&tf=110&ch=1\">3 million children under the age of 5\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In keeping with President Joe Biden’s vision of universal preschool, this expansion of the current TK program will create more equity in early education, many experts say. Increasing access to preschool may be one of the keys to closing the achievement gap, they say, since about \u003ca href=\"https://www.firstthingsfirst.org/early-childhood-matters/brain-development/#:~:text=90%25%20of%20Brain%20Growth%20Happens,full%20grown%20%E2%80%93%20by%20age%205.\">90% of brain growth happens before kindergarten\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, there are myriad opinions about how universal transitional kindergarten should be rolled out. While the state’s plan is to implement universal TK through the public school system, some advocates argue the program should also be available through preschools and child care centers in a \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/why-some-early-childhood-advocates-want-more-transitional-kindergarten-choices/656600\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mixed delivery model\u003c/a> that would help bolster the struggling child care industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>1. What is transitional kindergarten, or TK, and is it mandatory?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>TK is a stepping-stone between preschool and kindergarten. Both TK and kindergarten are entirely optional. Children are only required to attend school in California once they turn 6. Until that age, it is up to parents to decide whether to enroll their children in preschool, transitional kindergarten, or other child care arrangements or keep them at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>2. Is TK free? How is it paid for?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Children can attend TK at no cost because it is part of California’s K-12 public school system. Districts receive funding for TK students based on average daily attendance, which is the average number of students in attendance over the course of the school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>3. Why was TK first introduced in California?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/understanding-transitional-kindergarten-a-quick-guide/585073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TK\u003c/a> came about after the Legislature approved the \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/sen/sb_1351-1400/sb_1381_bill_20100930_chaptered.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kindergarten Readiness Act\u003c/a> in 2010. Until then, children who were 4 years old on Sept. 1 could still enroll in regular kindergarten as long as they turned 5 by Dec. 2 of that year. But the new law changed that. Beginning in 2012, children had to be 5 by Sept. 1 to enroll in kindergarten.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"tag":"education, kindergarten","label":"More Related Stories "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That left out about 100,000 kids who had to wait an extra year. In response, transitional kindergarten was established in 2012 to serve those 4-year-olds who would previously have been eligible for kindergarten.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>4. What is the difference between the current TK program and the new universal transitional kindergarten program?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Currently, TK serves about 100,000 children, primarily those who turn 5 between Sept. 2 and Dec. 2. These are the students who narrowly miss the cutoff for regular kindergarten. The new $2.7 billion universal TK program, by contrast, will gradually be made available to every 4-year-old in California, eventually serving nearly 400,000 students. It will essentially become California’s version of a universal preschool program, available to all children regardless of income.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>5. How long will it take for universal transitional kindergarten to be fully rolled out?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It is expected to be rolled out beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, expanding annually until it is available to all the state’s 4-year-olds by 2025-2026. The plan is to gradually phase in younger students each year. However, some school districts are ahead of the curve, having already expanded TK to most 4-year-olds.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>6. How large will the class sizes be?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Small class sizes are optimal to give young kids the attention they need. Individual instruction is a pillar of quality early education, experts say. The ratios for TK are expected to start out at 12 students to 1 teacher or teaching assistant and transition to 10 students to 1 teacher by the 2025-2026 school year. That is about half the size of many current TK classes, many of which rely on parent volunteers to help teachers. Many preschool settings enjoy an even smaller ratio. Head Start, for instance, generally keeps an 8-1 ratio in its preschool programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>7. How will school districts pay for the new classrooms and facilities necessary to suit small children?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The state has earmarked about \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB130\">$490 million in the latest budget to build new facilities and make adjustments to existing ones\u003c/a>, such as building out right-size water fountains and restrooms with pint-size potties and sinks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>8. What are the challenges facing this massive expansion of TK?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Staffing is one of the biggest hurdles ahead. There is already a teacher shortage in the state. California will need an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 new teachers and 16,000 new teaching assistants as transitional kindergarten expands, experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>9. What will the credential requirements for TK teachers be?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Currently, TK teachers are required to have a multiple-subject teaching credential, the same credential teachers need for all the elementary grades. By 2023, TK teachers also will need to complete an additional 24 units of early childhood education coursework or the equivalent, as deemed by their employer, or they will need to hold a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/child-development-permits-(cl-797)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">child-development permit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>10. What are the plans for recruiting and training new transitional kindergarten teachers?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The state has allocated \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$100 million in competitive grants\u003c/a> to school districts for recruiting teachers and providing ongoing professional learning. The state is also looking at various options for making it easier to meet the credential requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>11. What will TK teachers get paid?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>That is ultimately determined by districts, but typically, TK teachers are paid the same as kindergarten teachers. It should be noted that K-12 teachers generally earn about 38% more than preschool teachers and child care workers, according to \u003ca href=\"https://cscce.berkeley.edu/workforce-index-2020/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment\u003c/a> at the University of California, Berkeley. That wage disparity helps explain why 17% of the state’s early childhood educators live in poverty, experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>12. Is there a pathway for preschool teachers, a workforce that's predominately women of color, to move into TK careers?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.ctc.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Commission on Teacher Credentialing\u003c/a> has developed a proposal that would create a pathway for preschool teacher permit holders to gain the preparation they need to teach TK without completing all the requirements for a multiple-subject teaching credential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, about 49% of early childhood teachers in child care centers have a bachelor’s degree or higher, according to Berkeley’s \u003ca href=\"https://cscce.berkeley.edu/early-educators-equipped-to-teach-tk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for the Study of Child Care Employment\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>13. Will TK be a full-day or a half-day program?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Universal TK, like kindergarten, is a local choice of full-day or part-day. However, the state’s new \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/staffing-shortage-delays-ambitious-program-to-extend-school-day-and-year-in-california/661436\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Expanded Learning Opportunities Program\u003c/a> requires that local educational agencies offer a nine-hour school day including before- and after-class services.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>14. Do children in universal TK have to meet the same vaccination requirements as in regular kindergarten?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Yes, the same vaccination criteria apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was originally published by \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/universal-transitional-kindergarten-quick-guide/662318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EdSource\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11892267/what-california-parents-and-teachers-need-to-know-about-universal-transitional-kindergarten","authors":["byline_news_11892267"],"categories":["news_18540","news_8"],"tags":["news_18538","news_29912","news_20013","news_22350","news_30057","news_22602","news_30056","news_2252"],"featImg":"news_11892296","label":"source_news_11892267"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
