Hoboken Board of Education: Tuesday, June 14, 2022 AGENDA by Tony Petrosino on Scribd

 

Petrosino Co-PI on a New $2.5 Million Grant from the National Science Foundation: Seeing the World through a Mathematical Lens: A Place-Based Mobile App for Creating Math Walks

A new NSF grant (Award Abstract # 2115393) with SMU colleague Candace Walkington (PI) and Koshi Dhingra (Co-PI) - here we are at the Flight Museum in Dallas working with representatives from our partner organizations.

This project draws on research on Informal math learning, problem-posing, and culturally-sustaining pedagogies to conduct cycles of participatory design-based research on technology-supported math walks. The research questions are: How does posing mathematical scenarios in community-imbedded math walks impact learners’ attitudes about mathematics? How can experiencing AR overlays on real world objects highlight mathematical principles and allow learners to see math in the world around them? How can learners and informal educators be engaged as disseminators of content they create and as reviewers of mathematical content created by others? To answer these questions, five studies will be conducted where learners create math walk stops: without technology (Study 1), with a prototype version of the app (Study 2), and with or without AR overlays (Study 3). Studies will also compare children's experiences receiving math walk stops vs. creating their own stops (Study 4) and explore learners reviewing math walk stops made by their peers (Study 5). Using a community ethnography approach with qualitative and quantitative process data of how youth engage with the app and with each other, the project will determine how the development of math interest can be facilitated, how learner-driven problem generation can be scaffolded, and under what circumstances app-based math walks are most effective. The results will contribute to research on the development of interest, problem-posing, informal mathematics learning, and digital supports for STEM learning such as AR. 

This project will promote innovation and have strategic impact through a digital infrastructure that could be scaled up to support STEM walks anywhere in the world, while also building a local STEM learning ecosystem among informal learning sites focused on informal mathematics. This project is a partnership between Southern Methodist University, a nonprofit, talkSTEM that facilitates the creation of community math walks, and 9 informal learning providers. The project will directly serve approximately 500 grades 4-8 learners and 30-60 informal educators. The project will build capacity at 9 informal learning sites, which serve hundreds of thousands of students per year in their programming.

Dr. Petrosino's presentations at the International Society of the Learning Sciences 2022

The International Society of the Learning Sciences (ISLS) works to further scientific, humanistic, and critical theoretical understanding of learning and to engage in the design and implementation of learning innovations and the improvement of instructional methodologies. Learning Sciences (LS) research traditionally focuses on the cognitive-psychological, social-psychological, cultural-psychological and critical theoretical foundations of human learning as well as the practical design of learning environments. Major contributing fields include cognitive science, computer science, educational psychology, anthropology, and applied linguistics. Over the past decade, LS researchers have expanded their focus to include the design of curricula, informal learning environments, instructional methods, and policy innovations.

A core feature of research in the learning sciences is attention to the detailed processes of learning and teaching for theory development. Accordingly, the Society calls for papers that address questions about learning processes, mechanisms, and outcomes. Papers may develop data-driven theories that elucidate processes of learning and teaching within various contexts and the ways in which technologies, instructional practices, and learning environments can be designed to support learning in different contexts.

Learning sciences research addresses how to connect research, practice, and policy with the aim to impact educational policy and practice and develop research-practice partnerships. Papers may examine issues such as how to intertwine, yet balance, research and practice and how to create equitable research-practice partnerships that acknowledge and draw from the various expertise and the multiple perspectives that practitioners, researchers, and policymakers bring to the table. Diverse methodologies can be employed for examining learning at scale for educational impact. Papers may also develop and examine innovative approaches to impact policy and practice more effectively while maintaining a productive dialogue between various stakeholders.

US News and World Report: Hoboken Public Schools Grade 6 through 12 Continue to Slide Nationally, State Wide, and Locally

Comparing the 2021 and 2022 US News and World Report analysis of Grades 6 to 12 in the Hoboken Public Schools. 

General Scorecard: down 7.3 points; National Ranking: down 1289 places; State Ranking: down 35 places; NY Metro Area Schools: down 55 places; Less students taking at least one AP exam; less students passing at least one AP exam; 57% students reading below grade level; 92% of students doing mathematics below grade level. 

6th to 12th Graders in Hoboken Public Schools Score Low Again in Mathematics, Reading, Science, and College Readiness - US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT

It is helpful to look at independent, third party evaluation of the Hoboken Public Schools rather than public relations materials released by the district's PR efforts. For instance, latest test score data from the **2022** US News and World Report finds that over half the 6th to 12th graders in the Hoboken public schools are reading BELOW grade level, over 90% are BELOW grade level in mathematics, and 99% are BELOW grade level in Science. 

Moreover, on a score from 1-100, the school scores a 17 on college readiness (set of skills, behaviors, and knowledge a high school student should have before enrollment in their first year of college). 

These results are from a district that is only 20% free or reduced lunch. A community that allocates the district leadership over $27,000 per student. A district with a very low student to teacher ratio (well under 15 students to 1 teacher). 

The kids in this district are victims of poor pedagogy, incompetent leadership that appears to not have a clue as to what to do to raise achievement levels of students,  and excuse makers unable to effectively educate students.

Results from 2021....no improvement at all

2021-22 Hoboken High School Resident Enrollment: 344 Students

How many students are enrolled in Hoboken High School? A relatively simple question that is often challenging to find a clear answer. 

Using the 2022-23 ASSA Hoboken Enrollment Report as well as the disaggregated count of "choice" enrollment in the the district supplied by the New Jersey Department of Education, we find that there are 344 Hoboken resident students in Hoboken High School. When one also adds in the number of students attending Hoboken High School based on the NJDOE choice program, the enrollment reaches 467 students. This is a school that was built to house 1500 students in the early 1960's. This in a district that claims "skyrocketing" enrollment yet continues to accept students from out of town. 

The district should honor the commitment it has made to all students who have been accepted into the choice program until graduation. But it is contradictory for the district to claim enrollment is skyrocketing while at the same time the district is actively recruiting and taking the maximum number of out of town students into the district (163 students). The choice program should either be terminated or the district leadership and administration should significantly curb discussion and claims around enrollment increases outside of normal year to year variation.

CRB Meeting May 16, 2022 at 7PM

 

May 16, 2022

 

Dear friends and neighbors, 

 

I don’t know how I missed this!  There is a CRB meeting tonight at 7pm coincidentally scheduled two days before the City Council votes to add Hoboken residents to the CRB.  And it includes at least two applicants that violate our existing Cannabis Laws.  More on this below...

 

BUT FIRST: PLEASE NOTE: I am moving my pre-meeting for the County Planning Board meeting to 630pm tonight instead of 7!  If you want to join my meeting tonight – it will be quick! - please email me and I will send you the Zoom Link.  Also I am correcting the link to email Mayor Bhalla (and me) to ask that he push his representative on the Hudson County Planning Board – John Allen – to vote in favor of Hoboken neighbors and not in favor of the mayor of Jersey City.  

 

Contrary to their efforts to impose and support the commonsense cannabis legislation that was passed on April 6^th and signed by Mayor Bhalla on April 8^th, it seems like the Bhalla administration is rushing to approve as many dispensaries in Hoboken as possible.  With absolute discretion on how to move forward, what other explanation could there be?  

 

The three applicants being considered tonight are:

• 86 River Street – this is to add a recreational cannabis license to a location that was already approved for a medical license a block away from the PATH train.  The key difference is that the recreational license currently will not require appointments, whereas I believe the medical license was granted partly because it would be by appointment only.  Interestingly, our laws technically prohibit this from being granted because the new recreational license is within 500 feet of another license – the Harmony medical license at 95 River Street.  The City Council has approved on first reading an amendment that would grandfather both dispensaries and would not require that they meet the location constraints and will be voting on second reading on Tuesday.

• 1427 Grand Street.  5^th Ward.  This location is a one-story location in the I-1 zone, directly east of the Biergarten on the corner of 15^th and Grand and one block north of the viaduct.  The applicant has indicated they have secured 17 parking spaces at the Park and Garden parking garage at 15^th and Park.   

• 321 Washington St.  1^st Ward (3^rd location) Located less than 600 feet away from both Demarest and Stevens Cooperative and violates our current laws.  This property btw is 1.5 blocks away from 128 Washington which the CRB declined two weeks ago.    

 

The Bhalla administration and the current CRB Board are taking the position that if applicants submitted their 3 page applications to the CRB before April 28^th, when our common sense cannabis laws went into effect, then these new laws don’t apply to their application.  This isn’t backed by any precedent or law, this is a policy they have made.  They are citing “Time of Application” which is a state law that specifically relates only to land use boards (planning and zoning) which the CRB is not.  As a matter of fact, Hoboken's Corporation Counsel Brian Aloia has said repeatedly that it is only an advisory board and not a land use board.  If this policy continues, then even the cap of 6 dispensaries may be in jeopardy.  

 

The planning board, however, is another story – the planning board IS a land use board and the Supreme Court of NJ has held that the “Time of Application” law applies when an applicant’s application to the land use board is substantially complete.  And it further states that just submitting an incomplete application doesn’t get you excluded from the “Time of Application” law.  So hopefully the Planning Board will apply the statute to any applicants to the Planning Board whose applications were not substantially complete on April 28th.  Including the proposed Blue Violet dispensary at 628 Washington St. who I understand may not yet be deemed complete.  For those opposing this location because of its proximity to two schools – now is your chance to speak up and raise this as an important issue.  #morevoices

 

The CRB has already endorsed 5 of the 6 locations allowed under our laws.  But right now, I don’t even know if the Bhalla administration plans to enforce this provision.  It seems like they don’t have any plans to which is incredibly frustrating to say the least.  He has the discretion to choose in favor of residents, and take the position that the recent laws we enacted – to restore what we had before CP Russo misled us – do apply, instead of a path and policy that favors the cannabis operators and their landlords over Hoboken residents and families.  

 

Whether you agree or not, write to Mayor Bhalla who sets to tone on this for our community and tell him your views.  I mentioned before that the feedback I have received so far is about 85% wanting restrictions, and 15% wanting less (or no) restrictions.  I will tell you if this changes.

City Reaches 5 year Agreement with Hoboken Public Schools for 9000 sq feet of The Jubilee Center

Jubilee Center- Hoboken 

The City of Hoboken and the Hoboken Public School District recently announced a new lease agreement that will provide additional classroom space for the Hoboken Public School District at the Jubilee Center. The City Council approved the lease at a meeting on May 4, 2022. The consideration for the lease is $15,250.00 per month ($183,000 per year) for an initial term of 5 years (see below).

The five-year lease permits the district to use all three floors of the Jubilee Center for early childhood education. The space will be allocated to four Head Start preschool classrooms for 60 children in the Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 programs.

Back in February of 2021 and after a lengthy negotiation, the City of Hoboken announced plans to purchase the Jubilee Center at 601-603 Jackson Street, potentially using the property to host community programs and possibly house public school classes.

According to City officials, Hoboken was able to receive a low-interest loan from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to cover the cost of the building—valued at $3 million. The plan was to then rent space out to community entities, using the revenue from those leases to cover the cost of the loan and thereby eliminate any impact on Hoboken's municipal budget. In March, nonprofit TRUE Mentors moved into the first and third floors of the Jubilee Center to provide free one-on-one, group, and educational mentoring programs to Hudson County youth between the ages of 7- and 18-years-old.

Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Hoboken Public School District will use all three floors of the Jubilee Center (9000 sq feet) from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. while TRUE Mentors will continue to use the facility from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. until June 30. Starting in September, the district will have access from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The Hoboken City Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the lease agreement on Wednesday, May 4, by an 8-0-1 vote. Councilman Michael DeFusco was absent.

Hoboken Dual Language Charter School Is first Middle School in NJ to earn College Board Approval as AP Spanish Program

Students at Hoboken Dual Language Charter School (“HoLa”) are about to become the state’s first middle schoolers to sit for a college-level Advanced Placement (AP) exam.

Beginning this spring, eighth grade students will graduate with an AP designation on their high school transcript. Upon successful completion of the AP exam, which students in eligible programs across the country will take on Wednesday, May 11, these students will qualify to begin high school with college credits already in hand.

“Our kids are ready to show that they’ve achieved college-level Spanish language skills...This is what’s possible when children enter an immersion environment from Kindergarten, and learn to read and write in both Spanish and English simultaneously.” -Jen Sargent, Executive Director of Hoboken Dual Language Charter School

Because HoLa’s dual language program begins in Kindergarten, students develop high levels of bilingualproficiency by the time they reach 8th grade, and are prepared for the challenging content required of CollegeBoard approved coursework. Historically, AP classes are only available to high school students.

HoLa’s newly approved Advanced Placement Middle School curriculum was entirely developed by HoLa’s faculty and instructional leadership, an incredible accomplishment for a school that was chartered by the NJ Department of Education just eleven years ago. The New Jersey Department of Education has since designated HoLa as a Model Dual-Language Program, making HoLa a resource for schools both within New Jersey and nationwide who are looking to create a dual-language program.

“HoLa’s commitment to the Spanish language and culture makes their bilingual program a model for others across the country,” said Nuria Algar Pinilla, Education Advisor of the Education Office of the Consulate General of Spain. “We are so proud to continue collaborating with HoLa as we work together to promote bilingualism and cultural awareness.”

This trimester, 8th grade students will be reading Cuando Era Puertorriqueña by Esmeralda Santiago, then they will next move into a discussion of the Holocaust throuigh the novel Quien Cuenta Las Estrellas by Lois Lowry. They will use these novels to drive discussions and cultural analyses of social responsibility on a global scale. Students will draft essays and engage in authentic conversations with Spanish-speaking student counterparts in Spain, answering questions such as “What is our role in society as youths with a voice?” and “How can we advocate and foster change to prevent history from repeating itself?” Teachers will guide students as they read analytically, apply their learning in writing with revisions for technical accuracy, including grammar andstyle, and then engage in classroom discussions about the material and cultures – all in Spanish.

“This accomplishment by HoLa is consistent with decades of research demonstrating that immersion education is the most effective approach for developing high levels of bilingual proficiency among students from diverse language backgrounds,” said Jen Austin, Professor in the Spanish and Portuguese Studies Department at Rutgers University-Newark and one of HoLa’s original founders.

Our teachers, staff, and administrators are among the most dedicated public school leaders in New Jersey,” said Nicole Cammarota, Board President of Hoboken Dual Language Charter School. “Taking AP coursework in high school is an achievement in itself, but studying AP level curriculum in middle school will give our students a sense of achievement and confidence that will prepare them for college and beyond.”

“Hoboken Dual Language Charter School is a model example of how quality, public education sets students up for long term success,” said Harry Lee, President and CEO of the New Jersey Public Charter Schools Association. “Being authorized to offer Advanced Placement classes in middle school is a remarkable achievement and we could not be more proud of the educators and administrators who have made this possible for our students.”

All exam fees will be waived for low income students who qualify for free or reduced lunch.

HoLa recently took top honors at the Science Olympiad in February of 2022.

Skyrocketing Enrollment in the Hoboken Public Schools? Decide for Yourself...

In November of 2021 the Hoboken Board of Education and the Superintendent of Schoolsproposed a bond referendum for the construction of a new high school based on "skyrocketing" enrollment.

During the period from November 2021 to the eventual public vote on the bond referendum, no official enrollment was released by the Board even through the district is obligated to know the official enrollment of the district as of October 15th of the school year. The bond referendum failed. 

Recently, the New Jersey Department of Education released enrollment data for the Hoboken School District (2210) - this is known as the APPLICATION FOR STATE SCHOOL AID (ASSA)- see below for official 2022-23 ASSA Report for Hoboken. 

The following data is from the 2021-22 and 2022-23 ASSA Reports.
