A pilot program to incorporate Black history and culture into the social studies curriculum is gaining traction in New York City, the country's largest school district. The curriculum, developed in collaboration between local educators and the Black Education Research Center at Columbia University Teachers College, aims to acknowledge the history and contributions of Black Americans. It includes pre-K-12 lessons aligned with state standards and has the potential to be implemented nationwide. The curriculum offers a holistic approach to discussing culture and race in American and world history, and has received positive feedback from educators and voters, who believe that students should learn about the history of racism and slavery and its impact on society today. In a symposium on the project at the American Educational Research Association's annual conference last week, M.C. Brown II, the executive director at the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, called New York City's $3.25 million Black studies curriculum “a nationally historic moment," adding that it "provides a paradigm for professional learning that can support effective implementation, not just in New York City, but around the world.”

California
Californians remain anxious about the mental health of public school students four years after the COVID virus closed down schools, according to a new survey. The Public Policy Institute of California’s survey of 1,605 California adult residents also found mixed views on how Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature are handling the state education system. Only 53% of likely voters said they would vote for a statewide school construction bond. Advocates for the bond may face an uphill battle to pass it. The survey also revealed that most Californians agreed with their positions on social and political issues. There was a sharp partisan division, with most Democrats supporting Newsom's positions and most Republicans opposing them. Newsom and the Legislature have committed billions of dollars to phase in voluntary transitional kindergarten for all 4-year-olds. Newsom said in January that he supports placing a school construction bond on the November statewide ballot. However, the specifics have not been negotiated.
