Our Focus
Education
This encompasses the infrastructure and reform of the system of education. In order to solve educational problems, we must approach at system-level.
A Complex Population
Classroom size is dependent on staff availability and the student-to-teacher ratio within a school system. For example, Los Angeles, California's Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the second largest school district in the nation, has an abundance of students which makes it harder to shrink the classroom size without hiring more teachers (made more difficult by the teacher shortage).
Classroom Size
Population is a major hurdle in educational progress
With too many students in one classroom, we are more likely to strip students of their right to share their voice, to be part of the conversation and be on the receiving end of a responsive curriculum or responsive teacher. Without smaller classroom sizes, we are risking exclusion in a place where we must produce more inclusion.
Research & Understanding
Unless we are working independently from the system, classroom size is a challenging metric to control. However, we can continue to observe what different classroom cultures look like, tracking metrics such as behavior, attentiveness, learning growth, student-to-teacher ratios and how this applies to the quantity of students and their levels of progression. Population is a major obstacle to many of our educational issues but we still need to find methods of creating programming that can accommodate for large and small learning settings.
