I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

As COVID-19 took hold in Europe, travel from those countries was prohibited in mid-March. At the end of May, \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-certain-additional-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-novel-coronavirus/\">Brazil\u003c/a> was included in the travel ban.

There is much more emphasis on screening people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Malakoff, 19, and Schmidt, 23, learned of the travel restrictions on March 11, they still had hope. The ban wouldn’t take effect until Friday, which would give Schmidt 48 hours to make the trip from Germany to the U.S. But then they realized he would only be able to enter as a tourist. His K-1 “fiance” visa hadn’t yet been approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and without it, the government wouldn’t allow him to become a legal permanent resident based on their marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11827317\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11827317 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1020x1007.jpg\" alt=\"Savannah Malakoff and Malte Schmidt had a wedding planned in April, but in March, the Trump administration banned travel from 26 European countries, including Schmidt’s home country Germany.\" width=\"640\" height=\"632\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1020x1007.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-800x790.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-160x158.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut-1536x1517.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/RS43853_Savannah_Screenshot2-qut.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Savannah Malakoff and Malte Schmidt had a wedding planned in April, but in March, the Trump administration banned travel from 26 European countries, including Schmidt’s home country Germany. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Savannah Malakoff)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So Schmidt reluctantly canceled his plane ticket and the couple postponed the wedding.

"content": "\u003cp>For thousands of young immigrants across California who have relied on temporary protection from deportation under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling Thursday blocking the Trump administration’s effort to end DACA was a cause for rejoicing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re very excited. We’re celebrating,” said San Diego attorney Dulce García, 37, a lead plaintiff in one of several lawsuits before the court arguing that the way the administration moved to end DACA in 2017 was arbitrary and capricious. “A big weight has been lifted off our shoulders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sacramento, Robert Núñez, 25, an advocate with the nonprofit Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, said on hearing the news he felt “a sigh of relief, an immense feeling of victory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz resident Adrian Escárate, 31, communications coordinator for the immigrant advocacy group Define American, said of the years of waiting for a court decision, “It has been a whirlwind, a roller coaster. It’s pretty surreal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The celebrating didn’t last long. In a matter of hours, DACA recipients and their supporters were beginning to organize for a more permanent path to legal status in the country where they’ve come of age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11825090/supreme-court-rules-against-trump-administration-in-daca-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5-4 opinion\u003c/a>, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, didn’t defend DACA itself, it merely said the government had failed to follow proper procedures in ending it, suggesting that the Department of Homeland Security could try again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the 650,000 people with DACA — 185,000 of them in California — retain their protection and work authorization. It also appears that the government must again accept first-time applications, and more than 60,000 undocumented teenagers who were brought to the U.S. as children can now apply because they’ve \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/archive/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca#guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reached the application age of 15\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant advocates in a video press conference Thursday said they plan to push for legislation that would offer permanent protection for all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. — something that will require action by the U.S. Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that the DACA program was first created by President Barack Obama in 2012 is a testament to the persistent and savvy activism of Dreamers, young undocumented immigrants who’ve spent most of their lives in this country, said José Muñoz, communications manager for United We Dream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was undocumented young people who were courageous and fearless, pushing Obama to act,” said Muñoz. A DACA recipient from Mexico, he has lived in the U.S. since he was a 3-month-old infant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muñoz said the massive, spontaneous Black Lives Matter protests of recent weeks are a new source of inspiration to immigrant advocates, who see common ground in the search for racial justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a lot of fire in this moment,” he said. “We’re seeing people taking to the streets … led by Black people who are demanding a defunding of the police. We’re seeing the spirit of people coming together saying enough is enough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Central American Resource Center in San Francisco, Director Lariza Dugan-Cuadra said her primary concern is to explain the Supreme Court ruling to the roughly 400 DACA recipients the nonprofit assists, and ensure that they take steps to renew their DACA status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First we’re all taking a deep breath,” said Dugan-Cuadra. “It’s just nice to have good news.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, she said, her group is building alliances to advocate for a path to citizenship for Dreamers and other undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first time the DREAM Act was introduced in Congress was 2001. It had bipartisan support then. And today, large majorities of Americans — including 69% of Trump voters in a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/17/trump-supporters-dreamers-poll-323432\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Politico poll\u003c/a> — say Dreamers should be allowed to stay in the U.S. legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the House of Representatives passed the latest version known as the American Dream and Promise Act. But the Republican-controlled Senate hasn’t taken it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat who supports legalization, said that’s unlikely to happen unless Democrats win the Senate in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happens in the upcoming election is going to be very important for the fate of these young people,” Lofgren said. “It’s so clear: The difference on this issue between the two parties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Dreamers themselves can’t vote, they can encourage others to do so. Muñoz said that three of his siblings are U.S. citizens who plan to vote in November. By his estimate, the nation’s 650,000 DACA recipients belong to families with 2.5 million voting-age citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to continue to see folks taking to the streets,” he said. “And for us there will be a big push to do engagement with voters. This is a consequential election.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED reporter Julie Small contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

We’re celebrating,” said San Diego attorney Dulce García, 37, a lead plaintiff in one of several lawsuits before the court arguing that the way the administration moved to end DACA in 2017 was arbitrary and capricious. “A big weight has been lifted off our shoulders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sacramento, Robert Núñez, 25, an advocate with the nonprofit Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, said on hearing the news he felt “a sigh of relief, an immense feeling of victory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz resident Adrian Escárate, 31, communications coordinator for the immigrant advocacy group Define American, said of the years of waiting for a court decision, “It has been a whirlwind, a roller coaster. It’s pretty surreal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The celebrating didn’t last long. In a matter of hours, DACA recipients and their supporters were beginning to organize for a more permanent path to legal status in the country where they’ve come of age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It also appears that the government must again accept first-time applications, and more than 60,000 undocumented teenagers who were brought to the U.S. as children can now apply because they’ve \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/archive/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-daca#guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reached the application age of 15\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant advocates in a video press conference Thursday said they plan to push for legislation that would offer permanent protection for all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. — something that will require action by the U.S. Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that the DACA program was first created by President Barack Obama in 2012 is a testament to the persistent and savvy activism of Dreamers, young undocumented immigrants who’ve spent most of their lives in this country, said José Muñoz, communications manager for United We Dream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was undocumented young people who were courageous and fearless, pushing Obama to act,” said Muñoz. A DACA recipient from Mexico, he has lived in the U.S. since he was a 3-month-old infant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muñoz said the massive, spontaneous Black Lives Matter protests of recent weeks are a new source of inspiration to immigrant advocates, who see common ground in the search for racial justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a lot of fire in this moment,” he said. “We’re seeing people taking to the streets … led by Black people who are demanding a defunding of the police. We’re seeing the spirit of people coming together saying enough is enough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Central American Resource Center in San Francisco, Director Lariza Dugan-Cuadra said her primary concern is to explain the Supreme Court ruling to the roughly 400 DACA recipients the nonprofit assists, and ensure that they take steps to renew their DACA status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First we’re all taking a deep breath,” said Dugan-Cuadra. “It’s just nice to have good news.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, she said, her group is building alliances to advocate for a path to citizenship for Dreamers and other undocumented immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first time the DREAM Act was introduced in Congress was 2001. It had bipartisan support then. And today, large majorities of Americans — including 69% of Trump voters in a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/17/trump-supporters-dreamers-poll-323432\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Politico poll\u003c/a> — say Dreamers should be allowed to stay in the U.S. legally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the House of Representatives passed the latest version known as the American Dream and Promise Act. But the Republican-controlled Senate hasn’t taken it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat who supports legalization, said that’s unlikely to happen unless Democrats win the Senate in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happens in the upcoming election is going to be very important for the fate of these young people,” Lofgren said. “It’s so clear: The difference on this issue between the two parties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Dreamers themselves can’t vote, they can encourage others to do so. Muñoz said that three of his siblings are U.S. citizens who plan to vote in November. By his estimate, the nation’s 650,000 DACA recipients belong to families with 2.5 million voting-age citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to continue to see folks taking to the streets,” he said. “And for us there will be a big push to do engagement with voters. This is a consequential election.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED reporter Julie Small contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Our DACA students primarily come from poor families and they need to work to be able to go to school. We're evaluating what our options are there.

One of our next steps would obviously be to continue to urge the Trump administration to leave the program in place. Just because the Supreme Court rules that the administration can rescind the program the way it did, doesn't mean it ought to rescind the program. And then Congress will need to get involved should the Supreme Court rule against us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When the pandemic first hit California, the UC was dealing with a strike by graduate students at UC Santa Cruz, and it looked like students at some other campuses in the system were ready to join. The union has filed charges of unfair labor practices and hearings on that start this month. I wonder if you can share your position right now on that dispute. Those students say that they're not making a living wage.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The graduate students who were on strike went on an unlawful wildcat strike. We have a union. We have a collective bargaining agreement. We simply seek to enforce the agreement that students themselves voted on and approved. They have filed some complaints against us in connection with the wildcat strike. We have filed a complaint against the union for not enforcing the no-strike provisions in their collective bargaining agreement. One of the chief values we get from a collective bargaining agreement is the assurance of labor peace and that there will not be strikes while there is a contract in place. And we think PERB [California's Public Employment Relations Board], which is the body that hears these kinds of issues, ought to enforce the contract that the union and its members agree to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I've spoken to members of the union who went on strike. One of them was making something like $20,000 a year in Santa Cruz, where the cost of living is pretty expensive. It's expensive in L.A., it's expensive in Berkeley. Do you think that $21,000 or $22,000 is a living wage in a place like Santa Cruz?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I think you ought to look at the total compensation that graduate students get. They get a waiver of tuition, health insurance, a pretty hefty childcare subsidy. So the overall package is very competitive with other grad student compensation packages around the country. We thought it was a fair deal when it was struck. It will be renegotiated, obviously, when the contract is due to expire. I think it has another two years to go and that would be the appropriate time for these kinds of issues to be raised. It's not appropriate, however, for grad students to hold undergraduate grades hostage, which is what was occurring here. You know, they have a contract. Part of that agreement is that they post grades in a timely manner. They get all of the benefits that I've described, plus some. And a wildcat strike really undercuts the core of why we have collective bargaining to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I also want to get your reaction to reports from Vice News that the UC Santa Cruz Police Department coordinated with the state's National Guard to do surveillance on students during those strikes. I just want to have you address concerns that the situation was approached like a military operation in the view of some.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That question is probably more appropriately addressed to the campus. They will have the real detail on that. But I will tell you that the Santa Cruz campus is very hilly. And I don't think it was so much coordination as UC Santa Cruz Police and National Guard — knowing where each other, where they were — because you couldn't see them just because of the topography of the campus. So I think some of those practicalities came into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So this notion that there was surveillance happening to repress protesters, what's your response to that? Because that's the charge: that it was not about logistics but about suppressing protest.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I don't think the protests were suppressed. They happened. They were very active. Anti-protest surveillance is the perception. I think it's an inaccurate one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Given the moment that we're in, I have to also ask you about the role of police, not just during those strikes, but in general. Is there any discussion about defunding the police departments within the UC?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not defunding, but we want to make sure that our police are well-trained and are using best practices in terms of de-escalation and that complaints — when made — are handled properly. That there's reporting and accountability, and that we have a systemwide use-of-force policy. There's a campaign — 8 Can't Wait. It's eight fundamental actions that reduce the risk of violence by police departments and we're implementing all of those. We had a very extensive policing task force a year ago that came out with a report with a number of recommendations, all of which are being implemented by the campuses as we speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Let's talk about the SAT decision: the UC last month announced it's suspending those testing requirements through 2024. Can you take us inside how that that debate played out within the UC system?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure. So in 2018, I asked the academic Senate to review the use of the SAT and ACT as a requirement for admission. There's been a lot of public controversy about the SAT exam: that it is unfairly biased in favor of students from wealthier families, that there was an unhealthy correlation between the SAT and your zip code, that a whole industry had developed for students to prepare for the SAT and that disadvantaged students from lower-income families just plain couldn't afford it. So the faculty did a very extensive report which came to me. I disagreed with the conclusion of the report that we ought to maintain the SAT in part because in our admissions process, we were turning all kinds of gymnastic leaps to mitigate for the biases in the test. And so it seemed to me it was time for the UC to wean its way from the SAT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for the next two years, we'll be test-optional, meaning students can elect to submit a test or not. And then, for the following two years, we'll be what's called \"test blind\" — meaning if a student submits a test score, it won't be used in the admissions decision but it can be used for other purposes: some scholarships, for example, or course placement. And then, by 2025, we either will have developed an alternative test or we'll simply have no standardized test requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why does UC plan to make yet another admissions test amid criticism that tests are classist, racist and exclusive? What do you think that test will emphasize?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So first of all, we haven't made a decision whether to have an alternative test. We are looking at the feasibility of that right now. We require, as does CSU, that high school students take what's called A-G courses. These are the sequence of courses to prepare you to enter university. An alternative test could be more closely aligned with what we want students to have learned in the A-G classes so that admissions officers can evaluate whether students are prepared to enter the university. So that may be one aspect of a new test should a new test actually be developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"education\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>You have been the president of the UC since 2013. How do you want your tenure to be remembered?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to be remembered as being lively. We just did so many things. We had the goal of being carbon-neutral by 2025. In pursuit of that goal, we became fossil-free, and also invested some of our own funds into new, sustainable energy practices. We took on the issue of sexual violence and sexual harassment on college campuses, and totally re-did the framework for how we handle those matters. We grew substantially in enrollment. We added some 46,000 students during my tenure. But not only did we add students, we improved things like graduation rates — so our 4-year graduation rate went from 63% to 70%, and our 6-year graduation rate went to 85%. And for transfer students, the graduation rate is 90%. We added transfer students and formed a transfer guarantee with the community college system so that now, for every two freshmen, we have a transfer student from the community colleges. We worked on issues like free speech on college campuses and started a new National Center on Free Speech and Civic Engagement in our Washington, D.C. facility. We've taken on a lot of big issues, as well as improving the standard metrics like graduation rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think you'll stay in public service after this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, my plan is to have a sabbatical year. I'll have been president seven years, so I'll have a sabbatical. And then I'll join the faculty at the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley, where I'm actually a tenured professor.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And I don't think it was so much coordination as UC Santa Cruz Police and National Guard — knowing where each other, where they were — because you couldn't see them just because of the topography of the campus. So I think some of those practicalities came into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So this notion that there was surveillance happening to repress protesters, what's your response to that? Because that's the charge: that it was not about logistics but about suppressing protest.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I don't think the protests were suppressed. They happened. They were very active. Anti-protest surveillance is the perception. I think it's an inaccurate one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Given the moment that we're in, I have to also ask you about the role of police, not just during those strikes, but in general. Is there any discussion about defunding the police departments within the UC?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not defunding, but we want to make sure that our police are well-trained and are using best practices in terms of de-escalation and that complaints — when made — are handled properly. That there's reporting and accountability, and that we have a systemwide use-of-force policy. There's a campaign — 8 Can't Wait. It's eight fundamental actions that reduce the risk of violence by police departments and we're implementing all of those. We had a very extensive policing task force a year ago that came out with a report with a number of recommendations, all of which are being implemented by the campuses as we speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Let's talk about the SAT decision: the UC last month announced it's suspending those testing requirements through 2024. Can you take us inside how that that debate played out within the UC system?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure. So in 2018, I asked the academic Senate to review the use of the SAT and ACT as a requirement for admission. There's been a lot of public controversy about the SAT exam: that it is unfairly biased in favor of students from wealthier families, that there was an unhealthy correlation between the SAT and your zip code, that a whole industry had developed for students to prepare for the SAT and that disadvantaged students from lower-income families just plain couldn't afford it. So the faculty did a very extensive report which came to me. I disagreed with the conclusion of the report that we ought to maintain the SAT in part because in our admissions process, we were turning all kinds of gymnastic leaps to mitigate for the biases in the test. And so it seemed to me it was time for the UC to wean its way from the SAT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for the next two years, we'll be test-optional, meaning students can elect to submit a test or not. And then, for the following two years, we'll be what's called \"test blind\" — meaning if a student submits a test score, it won't be used in the admissions decision but it can be used for other purposes: some scholarships, for example, or course placement. And then, by 2025, we either will have developed an alternative test or we'll simply have no standardized test requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why does UC plan to make yet another admissions test amid criticism that tests are classist, racist and exclusive? What do you think that test will emphasize?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So first of all, we haven't made a decision whether to have an alternative test. We are looking at the feasibility of that right now. We require, as does CSU, that high school students take what's called A-G courses. These are the sequence of courses to prepare you to enter university. An alternative test could be more closely aligned with what we want students to have learned in the A-G classes so that admissions officers can evaluate whether students are prepared to enter the university. So that may be one aspect of a new test should a new test actually be developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In pursuit of that goal, we became fossil-free, and also invested some of our own funds into new, sustainable energy practices. We took on the issue of sexual violence and sexual harassment on college campuses, and totally re-did the framework for how we handle those matters. We grew substantially in enrollment. We added some 46,000 students during my tenure. But not only did we add students, we improved things like graduation rates — so our 4-year graduation rate went from 63% to 70%, and our 6-year graduation rate went to 85%. And for transfer students, the graduation rate is 90%. We added transfer students and formed a transfer guarantee with the community college system so that now, for every two freshmen, we have a transfer student from the community colleges. We worked on issues like free speech on college campuses and started a new National Center on Free Speech and Civic Engagement in our Washington, D.C. facility. We've taken on a lot of big issues, as well as improving the standard metrics like graduation rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think you'll stay in public service after this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
