CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Opposition Themes Not Locally Developed Takes control away from locals Greater turmoil and confusion for teachers and students “Massive unevaluated” experiment May break the district’s bank – fiscally irresponsible Federal intrusion into state and local decisions Privacy and data collection issues 4

CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Opposition: Create Doubt “Dubious college and career ready standards, undermine local control” Data mining, “using our children” National standards and tests “Subjectivity and lowest common denominator pedagogy” “Menace to our children and families” 5 Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) August 2013 Meeting

CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Knowledge of (Common Core) What does common core mean in the local context and community? What is on district/school websites? How does CCSS strengthen and extend existing initiatives? Who are key district advocates? What does the opposition understand/say/communicate? 6

CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Strategic Communications Build on the effectiveness of current communication efforts. Establish priority audiences and the best channels to reach them. Define the image of your organization/district/schools by staff, parents, and other community members. Implement two-way communication techniques that work for your district/organization. Provide frequent, ongoing information desired by your priority audiences. 7

CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION FrameWorks Institute Dominant Media Frames Related to Education Education is a consumer good. Processes of learning are separated from the education system. The Education System is in crisis. 10 Overarching Patterns in Media Coverage of Education Issues

CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Media Results Presents a narrow story of education compared to what we want to tell. While education’s problems are severe, effective reforms that improve outcomes get lost. Breadth and nuances of success as well as optimism for improving education are missing from the media narrative. 11 Overarching Patterns in Media Coverage of Education Issues
