Facilitating Quality Practice
Quality practice looks, sounds, and feels different virtually. Let’s practice with tools that teachers and paraeducators can use with students. We will learn about best practices for online learning, including instructor presence, learning objectives, real world applications, clear expectations, engaging students, prompt feedback, and netiquette. We will focus on two platforms: Seesaw and Google Classroom.

Yes on Prop 15, No on Prop 22!
Prop 15: Schools & Communities First will ensure that our schools & communities DO come first with enough resources to truly educate all of our kids and services to support all of our families.
- RECLAIMS $12 billion every year to fund neighborhood schools and strengthen local economies to lift up all Californians.
- CLOSES commercial property tax loopholes and ends shady schemes that big corporations and wealthy investors use to avoid paying their fair share of property taxes.
- PROTECTS all homeowners & renters by maintaining tax protections for ALL residential property.
- LEVELS the playing field for businesses that already pay their fair share.
- EXEMPTS smaller businesses valued at under $3 million.
- EXEMPTS all agricultural land.
YES on 15 would mean an additional investment of $6,915,000 in VUSD students’ education every year! This could be negotiated by VTA for professional pay, smaller class sizes, more resources & supports, etc. and could prevent potential layoffs and drastic cuts during the economic recovery.

Less Than 100 Days…..
| …till election day. Education funding remains the critical issue and it’s essential to pass Prop. 15, which would help California reclaim some $12 billion annually for schools and essential public services. We cannot open our schools until they are safe , and adequate funding is needed to make this happen. Take action: -On Friday, July 31, at 1 p.m., add your voice to the Tweetfest calling on Gov. Newsom to support Prop 15. Sample tweet: The educators of California ask @CAGovernor Newsom @GavinNewsom to join us in supporting #YesOn15. Investing in public schools, community colleges and local services must come first. #SchoolsAndCommunitiesFirst #WeAreCTA -CTA is again calling on lawmakers to find a funding solution to the pandemic-induced crisis that is deepening the impact of racial, health and economic injustices throughout the state. CTA and partners in the Education Coalition are urging legislators to eliminate corporate tax credits and adopt tax hikes on California’s wealthiest billionaires and millionaires.
