Proposal to K 12 Education Reforms in California Analysis Worksheet

 

I’m working on a writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Imagine that you are working with an advocacy group (e.g. parents, students, teachers, business people, etc.) that would like to propose reforms to K-12 education in California. One of your responsibilities is to submit a proposal to Tony Thurmond, the California State Superintendent Elect for Public Instruction. Your proposal should address how to best serve the diverse student population in our schools. The proposal should persuade the Superintendent Elect of the urgency of the issues you are presenting, and the need to adopt the course of action addressed in your proposal.

Your proposal needs to address two of the following themes:

  1. The implementation of educational practices that challenge deficit narratives around the concept of culture.
  2. The implementation of educational practices that challenge the production and reproduction of inequalities in schools.
  3. The implementation of educational practices that capitalize on students’ “funds of knowledge”.
  4. The implementation of educational practices that take into consideration how schools should work with families from diverse backgrounds in order to enhance the learning experience of their children.
  5. The implementation of educational practices that challenge stereotyped categories of students (e.g. “model minority”).
  6. The implementation of educational practices that take into consideration the role of language in the educational achievement of all students, and more specifically, the educational achievement of linguistic minoritized students.
  7. The implementation of educational practices based on culturally responsive/culturally sustaining ?
    education to promote equitable access for all students.
