Thank you for visiting my website. I am committed to doing all I can to ensure that students, educators, and community members can navigate the "new normal" of public education. Based on the rising coronavirus cases in California and the United States as a whole, a robust distant learning program is the only way to keep our nation safe. We need a program that is different than traditional distance learning programs (e.g. independent study), but instead a new, evidence-based program that works for all learners.
My work to ensure a safe reopening plan has been covered onKGO Radio as well as The San Jose Mercury News.
Please find my open letter to Dr. Sara Cody, public health officer of Santa Clara County, here. If you feel comfortable, please sign here. This letter also appears as an Op-Ed in the Silicon Valley Voice.
To get involved, join the Facebook Group "SF Bay Area for a Safe Return to Campus" here.
I want to thank Harley Litzelman, Oakland educator, for introducing me to the Refuse to Return movement. His work has guided my thinking, and can be found here.
