How are teachers preparing for the new school year?

On the next Your Call, we'll talk to California school teachers about their hopes, their fears, and their jobs as they anticipate coping with a dwindling education budget, growing class sizes, and strict standardized testing expectations. Thousands of teachers have been laid off this year. How will ones who are left meet rising demands for accountability in the classroom without additional resources? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How do we support teachers under today's pressures? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Susan Scott, 5th grade teacher at Joaquin Miller in Oakland
Kelly Clark, 5th grade teacher at Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy in San Francisco
Cherese Young, 1st grade teacher at Evergreen School District in San Jose
