Breaking Down the Class Size Revolution: NYC's Path to Smaller Class Sizes

Our state achieved a significant milestone in children's education with the passage of the Class Size Reduction Bill. On June 2, 2022, the NY State Legislature approved the bill with overwhelming support, receiving a vote of 59-4 in the Senate and 147-2 in the Assembly. This legislation mandates a five-year plan for NYC schools to reduce class sizes, signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul on September 8, 2022. In April 2023, the NYC Department of Education established a Class Size Work Group consisting of parents, teachers, advocates, and administrators to initiate the development of a plan and formulate recommendations. Johanna Garcia, Chief of Staff to Senator Robert Jackson and co-chair of the Class Size Working Group, along with Dr. Kaliris Yimar Salas-Ramirez, an integral member of the working group, joined us to explain the legislative history and the broader context of the struggle for smaller class sizes, stemming from the Campaign for Fiscal Equity lawsuit. They also discussed how the working group is deliberating its recommendations to the NYC Department of Education, emphasizing the nuanced nature of the class size debate beyond simplistic notions of "small is good" and "big is bad."

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
