Not-so-liveblog: Mullaney

Mullaney:
Mullaney "where do you see spending the money? and how would spending money on those things change things?"
haven't developed a plan and wouldn't develop it in isolation
focus on fewer things: plethora of things going on, focus of fewer things: which are developing for our students?
written curriculum work, teachers going solely by textbooks, not state standards
professional development for teachers using that written curriculum "for success"science scores low, need to work to do science younger (in labs?) literacy plan--has been driven by programs, needs to be vise versa
dual licensure teachers
improved data system
Mullaney: not extended day...challenge (superitendent says) is what happens after 4 years
likewise on class size
