AND SO.
IT'S HARD TO PROVIDE EQUITY IN
TERMS OF THE NEED FOR THE STAFF
DEVELOPMENT SOME DISTRICT CAN
AFFORD TO DO THAT OTHERS CAN'T
SO WE'RE FINDING THROUGH ALL OF
OUR SURVEYS AND THINGS LIKE THAT
THANK YOU IT IS AN ISSUE.
SO THANK YOU YOUR NEXT WITNESS.
THANK YOU MY NAME IS JOHN CRYPTO
I'M A FORMER --
CLASSROOM TEACHER IN GRADES FOUR
EIGHT AND NINE TWELVE OF BEEN
THE MADERA COUNTY TEACHER OF THE
YEAR IN THE PAST.
I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO START A
ONE TO ONE HIGH SCHOOL WHERE ALL
THE KIDS GOT A MACBOOK AND THERE
WERE A GOOGLE DOCS AND HIDE IT
IN A PROJECT BASED LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT FROM DAY.
ONE AND TO JUST PUT IT
SUCCINCTLY A THE BEST
EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH SAYS THAT
TEACHERS DON'T GET BETTER.
UNLESS THEY HAVE FORTY HOURS OF
SUSTAINED PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT PER YEAR.
AND THE FISCAL REALITY IS THAT
MOST DISTRICTS IF YOU CALL ANY
OF YOUR LOCAL DISTRICTS THEY
USUALLY PROVIDE ONE TO THREE
DAYS OF TRAINING.
PER TEACHER FOR YEAR AND THAT
AMOUNTS TO ABOUT EIGHTEEN HOURS
SO MOST DISTRICTS ARE ABOUT 50%
OF WHAT'S NEEDED TO TRULY
INCREASE EDUCATOR EFFECTIVENESS.
AND OUT ONE THING RIGHT NOW
THAT'S GONNA CLASSROOMS IS THAT
EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX.
OF YOU'VE HEARD OF PBI ES THE
WAY THAT WE INTERACT WITH
CHILDREN THE WAY THEY ARE
DISCIPLINE SYSTEM WORKS A
DIFFERENT.
CURRICULUM IS DIFFERENT ADDING
DEVICES DIFFERENT TESTING IS
DIFFERENT EVERYTHING'S INFLUX SO
I WOULD JUST LEAVE YOU WITH ONE
BIG IDEA.
WE NEED A KIND OF A STATEWIDE
PLAN OR OUTLINE OF WHAT BEST
PRACTICES ARE FOR THAT
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WHILE
WHEN THIS TRANSITION --
BECAUSE THE KIDS THAT ARE A
CLASS RIGHT NOW ARE GONNA BE ARE
CITIZENS OF THE FUTURE.
IF WE DON'T PREPARE THEM WHILE.
WE WILL NOT HAVE THE WORK FORCE
WE NEED.
WILL FAIL.

SUPPORTING THIS ITEM NUMBER ONE
SEVEN CONVERSATION WITH THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER ABOUT HER
EXPERIENCE AS A TEACHER --
WITH STUDENTS WHO DON'T HAVE

KINDS OF TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT JUST
BASIC STUFF LIKE HAVING A
