Скачать или смотреть Houston ISD’s Mike Miles Responds to Concerns Over Reading Curriculum & Reform

Mike Miles has been the state-appointed superintendent of the Houston Independent School District for more than two years. The state’s takeover of the largest public school district in Texas was and remains controversial. Nevertheless, Miles has sought to raise school accountability ratings, and in fact, the number of D and F rated schools in the district has dropped in that time from 121 to 18, and no campuses received an F in this year’s ratings. Yet, still questions and criticism remain about the Superintendent’s methods and approach, especially for his New Education System, a reform effort featuring centralized curriculum standardized across campuses, with lesson plans prepared for teachers in advance. Superintendent Mike Miles addresses those concerns, along with what HISD is doing to fill the gaps in nutrition for students due to the loss of SNAP benefits, and the recent Houston Chronicle report about books not being available in some district elementary schools. Superintendent Miles also answers questions from viewers.
