If you could talk a little bit about that too. So the exploratory in terms of the structure, they obviously because they rotate through on a trimester system. In sixth grade it will look different than seventh and eighth. In terms of the world language, we are in an exploratory phase with our exploratory wheel. So what we really are thinking about is how do we ensure that we are basing the world courses, so that what we are doing in those courses is getting students ready for the next level. We think it is a step in the right direction. It will be offered in cases where students want to take an elective. I think it is for students who entered, but for the sake of approximating redundant, students who entered in pathways in kinder and first grade then were able to take it through the eighth grade. And parents or students who didnt make that choice for their children didnt make that until high school. Its the first step to change that, but the first step to make that more equitable for all students. I want to underscore that i see this as a positive development. Thank you, staff, for making this possible. So how long is a trimester and how is that going to work . Every 12 weeks. So one of the things that i also want to if you look at the exploratory courses as a sampler, thats for students just to take a taste, but they also have electives where they go deeper into the language. Were not saying the exploratory course will take the place of a fullon exploratory language class. If you see in those two big buckets. The exploratory courses are your appear tideser and your elective is a main dish as well. Finally, can you talk a little bit more about the exploratory course and how is that looking like. For literacy were using an accelerated literacy course that were using. And in math theyre using a course to help students. I think that the acceleration courses are also places that students designated as students that need help can get help. Does that mean that every student is enrolled in an acceleration course thats tailored to whatever their need or passion is. If im an english language learner i would get the right course. I assume if im weve talked about math so im going to ask. If im passionate about learning about math, i can enroll in a math acceleration course . Absolutely. Thats a course in progress. Weve hired someone to work exclusively on that math course. If youre at grade level in math you can take a math acceleration course approxima course . We hired someone this year to do it next year. So right now there are for students who are behind grade level in eld or mathematics or reading. Thank you. Thank you for the presentation. Its been really exciting to be a parent at roosevelt and going through the redesign. Thank you. I had a couple of questions around the social and emotional integration. I wanted to learn around what was happening in supports and how you look to scale. Its actually happening at francisco and presidio. We are working with an organization looking at student connectiveness and Building Community and building resilience of the teacher. We piloted it at ap a year ago and the sixth grade students is phenomenal because that is a large school and they felt more connected to their teachers and students. Because the teaches had time to reflect on their own practice but also reflecting on themselves as a teacher and the identity of a teacher and how hard that is. Because we saw that support, we wanted to branch that out to the other schools. And the other question i had is what does scaling look like for the district. I know you pretend that in the spring, but maybe you can move forward with the assessment and the growth year. Sure, i can answer that. Were exploring what scale hools looks like. In terms of how many schools and at what pace, were still learning. Were still learning how are all of our middle schools able to explore or pilot or address some of the principles of deeper learning and what does it look like in terms of all of the changes that need to have structurally and capacitybuilding, professional development, for a whole school to adapt and take on that change. So through our evaluation through our p. A. Were going to be looking at that and looking at all the factors. We dont have a definitive answer at this point, but we will know more and look at what are the next set of schools. I will say the good thing or what were working forwards, the schools are in a good way. Other schools are working on specific principles or have their own aspects of deeper learning and the middle redesign. So were gearing up schools to be in that pipeline. I think that is going to be really critical communicating that out to the community. Even parents in elementary, theyre thinking about what middle School Experience is going to be. Its going to be important for us as a district to be orienting rising sixth grade families, how are we communicating that this is a longterm impact for the district. This is what we want to get through the class of 2025. Just to recommend that we proactively engage with our parent pacts its a continuous feedback cycle and encouraging that at the school sites as well that i know that will be occur lg at. Thank you. So i wanted to get clarity. I think part of what im hearing from other commissioners is what im experiencing. Were exploring things, and at the same time i want to know what does it actually look like. In terms of the planning even. So i want to know so i have a lot of questions. What types of electives are being offered. Im hearing we could offer world language classes as an elective. We could be offering band or those things. As a parent and a board member, electives sounds vague and theres some crossover things. So for kids getting a sampling or doing a yearlong class. We want knto understand where w are going. What is an elective these acceleration courses are electives but also elective. The different schools have different similar electives and different. Some schools have robotics and some have dramas. The reason we dont have a set of electives is each community has what they want to offer. Is that what youre asking . I know it would be were looking at how we do art in the district. That may form some of the electives offered in the future. When you say english, math, social studies, that makes sense to me. I heard from commissioner norton, what kinds of classes fit in. What kinds of classes fit in for what types of classes. It could be math circle. Give me specific examples. I would like to know on the m u menu, is it an appetiser or main menu item. As far as how they lay out, it looks like every year every kid would get one visual or performing art. They would get a computer since and two years they would get health. In sixth grade they would get a world taster. Maybe the exposure would lead them to say they would want something in seventh or eighth grades. Youre working with concrete pieces and it would be helpful for families and pieces to see that. Also, social and emotional content, you say youre working with my milennium forum. I would have to look at it. Its also part of the Health Curriculum at the different grades swlt. I can speak to the cyberbullying piece as well. I dont know if youve been using second step and i dont know if this is a part of this. So problematic the second step is because i think theres one lesson on Sexual Harassment and bullying. It doesnt talk about race and power dynamics. Those kinds of things lead to certain kids getting bullying. So its not random kids getting bullied. Kid bring them in. So i would like to do a thorough review of all the click alumini aluminium i mean, i have done as an educator, is it comprehensive throughout or is it one lesson, thats the kind of thing id like to make sure and i love when we develop our own curriculum. Our health ed is incredible. So were going to buy pieces as much as we need. But our educators are doing an amazing job and we should be patenting it and selling it because the stuff we do is more comprehensive. And then, i guess have we conducted any resource mapping. Because i dont know whos doing what. Id like to know what are the components of the redesign. Im hearing many different things. Do we have a list of all the schools and who has what . I know all schools have Computer Science to varying degrees. Id like to know if were moving from there to here and do you have a master list from all the schools . We can follow up and get that to you. Were all going to homefulpe have all of it. And scopingwise, how are we going to get there . Its not going to be we planned this and were doing this. But five years and we got a lot of schools and a lot of components, so id like to sigh whats our even if its a were going to go for this. And then stakeholder outreach, id like to see family focus group, the actual raw data if you have family focus groups, and id like to know what negative feedback or pushback are we hearing from families and surveys. If you could tell us all what are some of the challenges or things youre hearing from the community redesign. Im interested in hearing it now if you have some input. I heard hiring for Computer Science was a big challenge. And other challenges im thinking about so the time that this takes for our educators and we heard from some of our teachers and the comments that they shared, to share the lessons theyre hearing, not only in terms of the content but also the time. Shifting to a block schedule is different than the number of minutes that teaches have. Having the Early Release time so that teachers have more time together. Having teacherled pds. And then in terms of when weve done from our parent focus groups, you know, a lot of excitement definitely about it. And i know we were talking about our Elementary School families. We often get a very large representation from elementary parents because they want to know whats going on and available for my kid in middle school. The questions about whats going to work. What will the children have in terms of shifts, will the children be prepared. Its also that excitement but also anxiety. Wanting to have the nuts and bolts. The shift, can we give an example. So we had a working group last year that looked at examples and sample lessons. How do you go deeper instead of new staff. I imagine that will continue to come up and how are we supporting educators in the way we are teaching. Thank you. I love group work and projectbased learning. Its more facilitating learning than direct instruction. But my question is ive seen that in some cases people associate group work with putting students in a group. In those cases i heard the highpchling take over for lowperforming students get bulldozed or hang back or not supporting. I think we need to be supportive in how we support teachers in that work. I want to know how are we supporting educators in those structures. There are structures that you can implement with group work. So id like to know what were going to be providing to teachers. Im assuming that support can happen through this collaborative time, but i think we should have structures for how we can scaffold students together. Actually, weve been thinking and doing a lot of that work in our status. In our math departments in when we go into clam classrooms, weve been trained to look at that. Thanks for the presentation. I just want to quickly shout out again to all the teachers. Thank you for coming out and ms. Allen who is an amazing science teacher. All of you, thank you for coming. I see your principal is back there. Whats up, yall. You got to teach tomorrow. Youre going to stick around . Youre welcome to stay. Hope to have you back at future meetings. Its tons of fun as you can see. I had a couple of questions about i only have a couple about the redesign work. And im sure you all thought about this already, but its not included in the presentation. But its really around whats happening around Summer School and in the summer for students. What is our do we have Summer Learning loss and how it affects middle School Students . I dont think we have the kind of data we need to inform what we would need in the summer. There are very few options for the middle grade students. There is a geometry class that we would offer. I hear a lot of conversations around Elementary School students and around efforts towards literacy and our high School Conversation is around credit recovery. There may be some college prep stuff, but we have this wide gap around middle school. And given the fact that were having this redesign conversation, were talking about what we need to do for middle school. Im hoping we can start to seriously look at that and see what it will take to enhance our Students Learning experience over the summer. Have those conversations started . No. But i think we can start them. I think these are great conversations to have. There are a number of cbos in the summer we can work with. A lot of them do serve our middle School Students and are academically focused. But figuring out if those are sufficient or if we need to do Something Different can be a topic Going Forward in the steering community. I love a lot of the work thats coming out of the projectbased learning. Im wondering how can we share it because a lot of it is seeing it. Its great work you are doing and i want to see more of it. The other thing i was going to speak to was the Health Curriculum and how critical that is for middle School Students. What i see when i visits schools around the type of behavior we see in the hallways. Conversations that students are having that are very common in schools, so common that you let it go. So our Health Classes are a great place to start that. How we take it from class to the outside is a great opportunity for our schools, do you see the Health Classes play a role in that or what else needs to happen . Most definitely. The health class is a way to systematise a way of what students are doing and how are the ways they are speaking to each other. The other part is every single middle school has a culture teammate. In our middle School Priorities we look at the sense of belonging and assess how are school, staff, and students feelings. Because middle schools are important, we hone in on the culture climate. So that lift is the culture team and the Health Classes support the lessons students are learning to interact with each other. Just because i feel so strongly and excited about adolescent development, one thing i would like to see as we work around this redesign is around language, helping Parent Community discover what an important this is in adolescent development and why i think this redesign matches not only where theyre at finding their voice or identity, and how the middle grade schools are so important and we find out this is going to be part of setting them up for their journey ahead. Thank you so much. The last thing i wanted to mention is how many more schools we have to reach is for myself and the public. So with the number of the sites here, how many sites are part of the pilot, six or seven . This is two, but we also have two other who are latching onto it as well. But i want to share back this slide with you. So if you look at technology and integration, some of these schools have been part of this for a while. The only difference here is the structural pieces that were looking into, like the exploratory wheel, the electives, the acceleration pm and the aligned Early Release. Those structural pieces are changing. But if you look at all these pieces here, most of our middle schools are already in the redesign process. I was counting the schools as nine schools on this list. How many do we have total . 13. So there are four more that havent seen anything. So these nine schools them strait the schools that have taken on some of the core designs. The other schools have been exploring and piloting smaller components of it. They have been part of professional learning communities. If all 13 schools are on a contin continuum, they are on a novice phase, if we think of the others to be the first two to pilot. Okay. Thats helpful. Okay. I want to add something about go slow to go fast. If we make these shifts in the deeper learning principles and the types of peed peed gynaecology and structure. So this idea that were going to implement fully and pieces are going to be picked up across the board, help us learn what things are going well. What things in the shift in practice and teaching practices are going well. How do we restructure the office to support these. We dont want to practice opposite everyone all at once. It will allow us to say one piece worked in one way and not another, and we will be able to course correct if were adding two or four more schools. Okay. When is our next update about middle scooss redesign in the spring or next school . Between now and january, is that enough time to start about what the summer would look like . So well see an update about that in january . Okay. Cool. Thank you. Good night. Svermgts r. Section k. Number 1 comment on proposals. We have none. So these are going to first reading.

On a regular basis in the bayview, and potrero hill neighborhood and the mission, we know that those are the hotspots in San Francisco. I just came from the sunset and it is hot in the sunset. I knew it was going to be even hotter in the bayview. Im really excited to be here today because nothing brings the Community Together like food, and here is an Incredible Opportunity to really not only enjoyed the Delicious Food provided by some amazing vendors , but this is also an opportunity for the community to come together. When i was growing up in San Francisco, we had food houses. Remember . We could go to somebodys house and buy some nachos or some chicken or some banana pudding, but times have changed. We dont have the grandmothers and the folks who are the ones that were taking care of the community the same way that we do now. Things have changed. The community has changed a lot. We know the Bayview Hunters Point Community has a thriving africanamerican population here , a community filled with love and excitement, and the need for us to come together for occasions like this. Especially because we know that as there is a lot of work that is happening in the Bayview Hunters Point Community, there are a lawsuit also a lot of people working in this community , a lot of People Living in this community. Having amazing food options for and by the people of this communities critical to the success, the longterm success and stability of the Bayview Hunters Point Community. I cited eight. [cheers and applause] if youre from Hunters Point and you dont know harold, you are not from Hunters Point. We have sold bowl. [cheers and applause] and we have yes, putting. With all things sweet. So today is really about making sure that we support them and we support what they are trying to do here for the community. There are a lot of folks who are going to be working on the sewage plants and other projects we just broke ground on one of the Public Safety buildings that is not too far from here, so i was just thinking to myself, what was that building that we just broke ground on, the forensic building and some other something, the traffic company. Thank you. Anyway, we were breaking ground over there and i said i wonder where all these workers are going to eat. Where are the restaurants . So we have cafe envy, we have other places here and we want to make sure that, you know, we know that there are places to go to to eat in the Bayview Hunter s point, places to hang out in the community and our goal is to do everything we can to make the right investments so that this community continues to thrive. I want to thank all of you for being here today to support these incredible businesses and thank you to harland kelley kelly with the Public Utilities commission for having the foresight to know that it is not just about rebuilding and investing in our infrastructure and making sure that the communities part of these projects, it is also about investing in other things that play a Critical Role to support this amazing community. With that, another amazing supporter of the Bayview Hunter s Point Community who used to be your supervisor and is now Public Utilities commission are, ladies and gentlemen, sophie maxwell. [cheers and applause] thank you. What a day. What an amazing day in San Francisco. Any time it is warm, i mean, i never get to wear sleeveless clothes. Im always scared to death because i feel the wind will come up any minute. But i can relax. We can relax and be warm in this beautiful space. Im really proud to be a commissioner. Thank you so much. I thought it, but it is a great thing because the p. U. C. Is sponsoring this. These are the kinds of things that San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission is doing. Theyre doing it because they feel they have a responsibility to san franciscans and to people in this community. It is a place where we can connect, where we can laugh, where we can talk about issues and politics, and 45 and kentucky and everything else. We can talk here and this is a good thing. We dont have any banks to wait in line anymore. You are in the bank used to talk to people about things, that is gone. Walgreens, used to meet people at walgreens, well, that is gone , and so we have this and this is where we will connect. I want to thank all of you and i want to thank our partners. I want to think people who have a vision, you understand that, yes, while you are building in the programs, while you are building the sewage plant, there were other things. There are other places and people around you, and that these people have come to the conclusion that is part of their responsibility to help us live and thrive in this community. I want to thank the p. U. C. And i want to thank all of those people who helped make this possible. And now i get introduced one of my most favorite people. One of my most favorite people, that is Shamann Walton because he will make sure that this continues and it will be bigger and better. Shamann walton, supervisor Shamann Walton. [cheers and applause] thank you, supervisor maxwell good afternoon, everybody.

Thank you for being here today. Enjoy yourselves. [cheers and applause] shop and dine on the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do shopping and dining within the 49 square miles of San Francisco by supporting local Services Within neighborhood. We help San Francisco remain unique, successful and vibrant. Where will you shop and dine in the 49 . San francisco owes the charm to the unique character of the neighborhood comer hall district. Each corridor has its own personality. Our neighborhoods are the engine of the city. You are putting money and support back to the community you live in and you are helping Small Businesses grow. It is more environmentally friendly. Shopping local is very important. I have had relationships with my local growers for 30 years. By shopping here and supporting us locally, you are also supporting the growers of the flowers, they are fresh and they have a price point that is not imported. It is really good for everybody. Shopping locally is crucial. Without that support, Small Business cant survive, and if we lose Small Business, that diversity goes away, and, you know, it would be a shame to see that become a thing of the past. It is important to dine and shop locally. It allows us to maintain traditions. It makes the neighborhood. I think San Francisco should shop local as much as they can. The retail marketplace is changes. We are trying to have people on the floor who can talk to you and help you with products you are interested in buying, and help you with exploration to try things you have never had before. The fish business, you think it is a piece of fish and fisherman. There are a lot of people working in the fish business, between wholesalers and fishermen and bait and tackle. At the retail end, we about a lot of people and it is good for everybody. Shopping and dining locally is so important to the community because it brings a tighter fabric to the community and allows the Business Owners to thrive in the community. We see more Small Businesses going away. We need to shop locally to keep the Small Business alive in San Francisco. Shop and dine in the 49 is a cool initiative. You can see the banners in the streets around town. It is great. Anything that can showcase and legitimize Small Businesses is a legitimize Small Businesses is a [roll call] thank you. The second item on the agenda is the approval of the minutes of august 20th, 2019. Commissioners, the minutes are in your hands. After that review, i would like to call a motion to adopt. I think there is one spelling clipped correction. Okay. Page four, paragraph three, there was [indiscernible] thank you for that. I apologize
