We intend for this paper to provide a baseline of information for Fellows, and to be provocative and generate discussion within the program. Thad wrote the paper for EPFP’s inaugural year in 2016-17 and updated it annually, based on feedback from Fellows.  \nIn addition to sparking conversations within EPFP, we think it is important to have a document that provides context for the state’s major education reforms—and that makes sense of them with regard to their potential effects on students across systems. California’s K-12 and higher education systems are undertaking some of the most ambitious education reform experiments in the country. These include:  \n􀁸 In K-12 schools: the Local Control Funding Formula, Common Core Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP), and a new accountability system.  \n􀁸 In the California Community Colleges: the Student Equity and Achievement  \nProgram (which integrates the Basic Skills Initiative, the Student Equity program, and the Student Success and Support Program), the Institutional Effectiveness Partnership Initiative, Guided Pathways, and the revamping of remedial education under AB 705 (Irwin, Statutes of 2017, Chapter 745) .  \n􀁸 In the California State University (CSU): the CSU’s Graduation Initiative 2025 and its executive orders regarding the transformation of developmental education and general education.  \nWe hope this paper will spark discussion and action in pursuit of California’s vision for its public education systems and equitable opportunities and outcomes for students.  \nSincerely,  \nThe EPFP team  \nAndrea Venezia  \nCo-founder, CA EPFP  \nExecutive Director, EdInsights Center  \nTerra Thorne  \nDirector, CA EPFP  \nPolicy Analyst, EdInsights Center  \nLeonor Ehling Executive Director  \nCenter for California Studies  \nSteve Boilard  \nCo-Founder, CA EPFP  \nCalifornia’s Education Systems: A Sum of the Moving Parts  \nEDUCATION INSIGHTS CENTER AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, SACRAMENTO 3  \nIntroduction – Education in a Land of Poverty amidst Plenty   \nThe gap between the rich and the poor in the United States i","cbCaikWHADdNjThr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikWHADdNjThr","pdf",733766,45,"English","# Preface\n# Introduction: Education in a Land of Poverty amidst Plenty\n# Chapter 1 – A 21st Century Imperative: Supporting All Students in Meeting their Educational Goals\n# Chapter 2 – Structures from the 20th Century: California’s Disconnected Education Systems\n# Chapter 3 – Current Options: California’s Cross-system Approaches\n# References\n# Acknowledgments\n# About the Author","[{\"question\":\"How does the paper describe California’s broader context affecting education?\",\"answer\":\"It links education challenges to growing poverty and inequality, noting rising shares of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch and disparities in well-being across congressional districts.\"}]","California’s Education Systems: A Sum of the Moving Parts - A Primer for the California Education Policy Fellowship Program | PDF",1792047542,113]
