She has helped craft messaging around wildfires, the coronavirus pandemic, climate change and many other stories. She has also brought KQED Science to new platforms such as Reddit’s Ask Me Anything series. Prior to joining KQED Science, Amanda spent seven years as an engagement producer with Forum, KQED’s daily live call-in show. She got her start in radio at KALW's weekly call in show, City Visions, before going on to an internship and stint at NPR's Talk of the Nation.\r\n\r\nPrior to journalism, Amanda taught English at Lowell High School. She's a native of Petaluma and currently lives under the \"South San Francisco the Industrial City\" sign in South City. She believes that engagement is vital to news’s future and that good journalism listens as much as it asks questions.",

They range from tech startups sharing rooms to solar and video companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the businesses were already based in San Leandro. But Kennedy, as well as the city, hope that broadband draws new companies. “If your ideas revolve at all around manufacturing,” Kennedy says, “then San Leandro is a good place to look.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He pitches the East Bay suburb as centrally located and accessible, with two BART stations and Interstate 580 and 880 running through it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And San Leandro has something that’s at a premium in the Bay Area: space. When many of San Leandro’s factories shut down in the ’70s and ’80s, they left behind underused space. Places like \u003ca href=\"http://www.westgatesanleandro.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Gate\u003c/a>, a former Dodge auto plant that’s now a shopping mall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #4d4d4d\">Now, where cars were once built, the second story of the former plant houses more than 100 offices that can be connected to the fiber loop. This part of the building is known as The Gate\u003c/span>.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘If your ideas revolve at all around manufacturing, then San Leandro is a good place to look.’\u003ccite>— Pat Kennedy,\u003cbr>\nCreator of Lit San Leandro\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.typeamachines.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Type A Machines\u003c/a> moved into The Gate in January. The San Francisco-based company designs its 3-D printers in the city but builds them in San Leandro. Company officials say they were enticed by the broadband connection and the opportunity to grow in The Gate, and the company began renting three offices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we expand, we’ll actually add additional lines in this space,” says Type A founder Andrew Rutter as he stands on the company’s production floor. “And so the idea is that we’ll be able to expand and fill this and really turn it into a really high-volume production space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If all goes well, Type A could more than double its workforce in San Leandro, to around 60. And they’ll be looking for more space. “It’s really hard to find a space where you can expand that rapidly and by such a big margin,” says Rutter. “Because most places, they just don’t have the additional space lying around.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Leandro has that space. At one time, there were more than 20,000 manufacturing jobs here. In 2013, only about 6,800 of those jobs remained. Industrial-zoned land makes up nearly a quarter of the city, much of that space now used for storage, which doesn’t provide much employment. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanleandro2035.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/2013-10-02_NextGenerationWorkplacDistrict_Complete-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A 2013 report\u003c/a> calls these areas “neither memorable nor particularly pleasant to get around.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanleandro.org/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?blobid=13963\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a presentation by City Manager Chris Zapata\u003c/a> calls broadband “a laser cheetah with explosive power accelerating economic growth.” San Leandro’s new chief innovation officer, Deborah Acosta, frames the issue another way: “how do we reenergize this industrial space to actually become alive again?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acosta tries to convince businesses like Type A to set up shop here. She’s probably the only city employee with bright red streaks running through in her hair, and she says that touch puts people on notice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they see my red hair, they’re going, ‘Holy smokes, something’s different here. I think I need to pay attention,’” Acosta says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She notes that San Leandro’s economic development plan has included language about becoming a tech hub since the late ’90s. But that dream “sat there as words on the page until Lit San Leandro came along. Suddenly they realized, ‘Wait a minute, we don’t have to talk about this anymore. We’re actually there, we’re actually part of it. I mean, we have to do something with it now. But we can’t complain that we don’t have the infrastructure,’” Acosta says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that infrastructure, San Leandro hopes, can bring back jobs and reorient the city’s economy. The city, Pat Kennedy and the federal government have invested more than $13 million trying to create a tech hub in San Leandro. And Acosta says about 90 jobs have been created by Lit San Leandro since it launched in March 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That might seem like a modest return. But Acosta and Kennedy think they’re on to something. Next up in San Leandro are three brand new office buildings next to BART — more than half a million square feet — with those ultrafast connections. Kennedy’s company, OSIsoft, will move in as the anchor tenant, and Acosta says that investment in the project will exceed $200 million and create 2,000 new jobs. The city is convinced it will fill up with tech startups priced out of San Francisco and Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\n",

NBA legend Bill Russell lived in West Oakland, and the Black Panthers had an office on Peralta Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the clubs closed decades ago and Bill Russell is long gone. In their wake, a new wave of residents are sweeping into the neighborhood — many of them white, and many of them coming from San Francisco because of the tech boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the 2010 census, Oakland has more white inhabitants than black residents for the first time since the 1970s. Neighborhoods have been changing for decades, but the expanding tech industry is speeding up the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, sky-high rents are pushing people out of San Francisco, with many ending up in West Oakland, the first BART stop on the east side of the bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last few decades, West Oakland has seen an increase of abandoned factories and shuttered businesses. Danita Robinson, a member of the Center Street Baptist Church on Tenth Street, says for a long time nobody would invest in West Oakland. But she says there is now more development in the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_141920\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 378px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-141920\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/07/EsthersOrbitRoom-640x593.jpg\" alt=\"Esther's Orbit Room\" width=\"378\" height=\"351\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The now-defunct Esther’s Orbit Room on Seventh Street in West Oakland.

It’s a couple of blocks long and within walking distance from the West Oakland BART stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was so abandoned for such a long time,” Robinson says. “Now it is all nice over there and Mr. Google and Mr. Doctor are living there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to to an old nickname for one section of the neighborhood, she asks, “What could we have put back there outside of these condos that would have been beneficial to the West Oakland area, especially what we call the lower bottoms down here?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kenna Stormwell-Gougis lives in a Victorian across from the Center Street Baptist Church. She bought the house a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was the only white person on this block 10 years ago,” she says, “and now, I would say the block is 40 percent white.” She says lots of new people are riding by on bikes and popping in and out of old Victorian houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danita Robinson doesn’t think of the newcomers as West Oaklanders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I call them San Franciscans,” she says. “Why else would you be moving to this area and not another area of Oakland? Because it’s three blocks from the BART station.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”jYESxOMr9ASis6f6knorcmBnwUnzx4Ye”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dawn Phillips is the program co-director at Causa Justa::Just Cause. His organization published a report that shows some market-rate rents in West Oakland to be higher than in Rockridge and the Oakland Hills — two of the most affluent areas in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we looked at that data it blew us away,” Phillips says. “We did not know that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rent is rising throughout Oakland. The real estate company Trulia says rents increased 10.8 percent in May from the year before. That is the third highest rent hike in the country behind San Diego and San Francisco. The median price for a two-bedroom is now $2,450 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a regional pressure that is being created,” Phillips says. “It is rippling out from San Francisco.” Soon he says, it will hit neighborhoods farther out in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In gathering data for their report, Causa Justa::Just Cause found an increase in the eviction and displacement of Africans-Americans from Oakland. Phillips says the current demographic change is just the final stage after decades of disinvestment in the area: “We understand gentrification to be pretty long-term, long-evolving historic process that is actually very systematic in nature.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_141922\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 340px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-141922\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/07/10thWood-640x570.jpg\" alt=\"10th and Wood\" width=\"340\" height=\"302\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">10th and Wood, a new sandwich shop near the Zephyr Gate condo complex. (Photo: Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ron Lindsey can tell you first-hand how the long-term process played out in West Oakland, where he grew up. His father and uncle worked at the Navy shipyard. He saw that get shut down and the factory jobs shipped overseas. Then the businesses on Seventh Street started closing. He can still point out where they all were — a clothing store, a shoe shine parlor, barber shops, candy shops and night clubs. “All of these were black businesses,” Lindsey says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After companies outsourced the neighborhood’s factory jobs, the tax base eroded and social services were cut. Unemployment and violence spiked. Lindsey watched as highways and train lines carved up the neighborhood. The elevated BART rails got built right over Seventh Street. Now where there was once music, there is the screech of trains, drowning out everything below. People left. Eventually, so did Lindsey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phillips says gentrification is this whole progression, from job loss to neighborhood decay to redevelopment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danita Robinson says even though things are changing, there is no way for her to move up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want to be low-rent,” Robinson says. “I don’t want to be low-income. I would like to move up. I can’t afford that condo. It looks nice. I want to be in that condo. But you killed all my jobs, so how am I gonna get in that condo?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson cleans houses for a living, and her husband works two jobs. The couple is expecting a baby, so she hopes they can find better employment soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: The caption for the top photo in this post has been updated.

Danita Robinson, a member of the Center Street Baptist Church on Tenth Street, says for a long time nobody would invest in West Oakland. But she says there is now more development in the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_141920\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 378px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-141920\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/07/EsthersOrbitRoom-640x593.jpg\" alt=\"Esther's Orbit Room\" width=\"378\" height=\"351\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The now-defunct Esther’s Orbit Room on Seventh Street in West Oakland.

(Photo: RadioNicole/Flickr)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For instance, developers recently built a high-end condo complex in West Oakland called Zephyr Gate. It’s a couple of blocks long and within walking distance from the West Oakland BART stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was so abandoned for such a long time,” Robinson says. “Now it is all nice over there and Mr. Google and Mr. Doctor are living there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to to an old nickname for one section of the neighborhood, she asks, “What could we have put back there outside of these condos that would have been beneficial to the West Oakland area, especially what we call the lower bottoms down here?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kenna Stormwell-Gougis lives in a Victorian across from the Center Street Baptist Church. She bought the house a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was the only white person on this block 10 years ago,” she says, “and now, I would say the block is 40 percent white.” She says lots of new people are riding by on bikes and popping in and out of old Victorian houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danita Robinson doesn’t think of the newcomers as West Oaklanders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I call them San Franciscans,” she says. “Why else would you be moving to this area and not another area of Oakland? Because it’s three blocks from the BART station.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dawn Phillips is the program co-director at Causa Justa::Just Cause. His organization published a report that shows some market-rate rents in West Oakland to be higher than in Rockridge and the Oakland Hills — two of the most affluent areas in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we looked at that data it blew us away,” Phillips says. “We did not know that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rent is rising throughout Oakland. The real estate company Trulia says rents increased 10.8 percent in May from the year before. That is the third highest rent hike in the country behind San Diego and San Francisco. The median price for a two-bedroom is now $2,450 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a regional pressure that is being created,” Phillips says. “It is rippling out from San Francisco.” Soon he says, it will hit neighborhoods farther out in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In gathering data for their report, Causa Justa::Just Cause found an increase in the eviction and displacement of Africans-Americans from Oakland. Phillips says the current demographic change is just the final stage after decades of disinvestment in the area: “We understand gentrification to be pretty long-term, long-evolving historic process that is actually very systematic in nature.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_141922\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 340px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-141922\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/07/10thWood-640x570.jpg\" alt=\"10th and Wood\" width=\"340\" height=\"302\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">10th and Wood, a new sandwich shop near the Zephyr Gate condo complex. (Photo: Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ron Lindsey can tell you first-hand how the long-term process played out in West Oakland, where he grew up. His father and uncle worked at the Navy shipyard. He saw that get shut down and the factory jobs shipped overseas. Then the businesses on Seventh Street started closing. He can still point out where they all were — a clothing store, a shoe shine parlor, barber shops, candy shops and night clubs. “All of these were black businesses,” Lindsey says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After companies outsourced the neighborhood’s factory jobs, the tax base eroded and social services were cut. Unemployment and violence spiked. Lindsey watched as highways and train lines carved up the neighborhood. The elevated BART rails got built right over Seventh Street. Now where there was once music, there is the screech of trains, drowning out everything below. People left. Eventually, so did Lindsey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phillips says gentrification is this whole progression, from job loss to neighborhood decay to redevelopment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danita Robinson says even though things are changing, there is no way for her to move up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want to be low-rent,” Robinson says. “I don’t want to be low-income. I would like to move up. I can’t afford that condo. It looks nice. I want to be in that condo. But you killed all my jobs, so how am I gonna get in that condo?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson cleans houses for a living, and her husband works two jobs. The couple is expecting a baby, so she hopes they can find better employment soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But after more than a year of coaching from a high-powered legal team, these students echo their lawyers’ talking points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brandon attends Skyline High School in the hills overlooking Oakland, where his classmates are also critical of some of their teachers but are more willing to share the blame. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Julian Hamilton, another student at Skyline, said, “You’ve got to realize we’re in high school. We should be grown enough to control ourselves. Sometimes it’s on the teachers, sometimes it’s on the students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students also say sometimes it’s on the administration to provide support to struggling teachers, and conduct more comprehensive assessments of teachers that include student input.

You know, first-year teachers are just trying to figure it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the steep learning curve, teachers in California can lose their jobs without warning or cause for their first two years. This coming fall, at the start of Doamaral’s third year, she will have earned the benefit of tenure. “You can take more risks with students if you know your principal is not just going to walk in and fire you,” she said. “I’m sure I would think about going on field trips.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to the main backer of this case, wealthy Silicon Valley businessman and charter school proponent Dave Welch, too many grossly ineffective teachers hide behind tenure laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would say it’s clear that these laws seriously do hurt children,” Welch said, “and they hurt a large number of children.

Oakland has “two viable sites” to offer the A’s, he said, and the city is in discussion with the Raiders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are not operating from the assumption that we have the money or the political will to provide significant public subsidy for these private facilities,” said Blackwell. “The way we are approaching all these deals is that the city and potentially the county would be looking at investing in the infrastructure around these areas, but really it would be the teams and private developers that would have to come up with the resources.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No interview with Quan can be complete without discussing her reaction to the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/11/03/occupy-oakland-update/\">city’s 2011 Occupy protests\u003c/a>. Host Michael Krasny asked her what she had learned from those events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I tried to do was to get as much consensus (as possible) so that we could make movement as a city,” Quan said. “That was not an easy thing to do. It’s probably one of the toughest things I’ve had to do in my life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And likely something that will resurface in \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/news/ci_25230764/auditor-enter-oakland-mayors-race\">the upcoming election\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Aaron Mendelson/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Educators and health professionals are seeing kids dating earlier than ever — and along with that new reality a need to teach middle-school students about the dangers of dating violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trend has prompted creation of \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/DatingMatters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dating Matters, a nationwide pilot program\u003c/a> developed and funded by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and currently being tested in four cities nationwide, including Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dating Matters cycles through Oakland schools, and this month, students at Lighthouse Community Charter School in East Oakland are participating in Dating Matters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent school day in the Lighthouse school library, Kirstie Mah teaches a lesson from the Safe Dates curriculum about abusive relationships. The class discusses the behavior of a hypothetical abusive boyfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘Our middle school students are dating. I know we often think that, ‘Maybe by eighth grade, high school definitely.’ But I would say they’re dating earlier and earlier.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“He emotionally hurt her. He called her a slut and mean stuff,” one student offers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right,” Mah responds. “And why did he do that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“’Cause of the way she was dressed,” another student says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mah continues the thought: “So he thought she wasn’t dressed appropriately. Do you think he should be able to tell her what to do and what to wear?” A handful of students answer: “No.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in class, students split up into small groups, taking turns placing themselves in the shoes of a victim of dating violence. As the day wraps up, they discuss gender expectations. Mah draws a box on the whiteboard, and the class free-associates ideas about women and girls. Mah writes down words like “cooking” and “makeup” in red ink. “Spectacular” and “smell good” also make the list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are these expectations fair?” Mah asks. “Where do you think we get these expectations from?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students agree that the expectations aren’t fair, and segue into a discussion of where these perceptions come from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/136776334&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/DatingMatters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dating Matters\u003c/a> classes cover issues from why abuse happens, to identifying red flags and talking about gender roles. The initiative is funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Oakland is one of four U.S. cities with a grant for the Dating Matters classes, and the only city on the West Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program is in its third year in Oakland, part of a five-year pilot. The 10 schools participating in Dating Matters implement one of two approaches. Half the schools feature instruction for eighth-grade students—this is the Safe Dates curriculum that Kirstie Mah teaches at Lighthouse. The other five schools feature classes for sixth through eighth-grade students, and also outreach to parents and educators. After five years, the CDC will review the results from both approaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our middle school students are dating,” says Caroline Miller, who manages Dating Matters for the Alameda County Public Health Department. “I know we often think that ‘maybe by eighth grade, high school definitely.’ But I would say they’re dating earlier and earlier.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the digital age, teens can easily bully and stalk one another. Miller says that classes remind teens that “anything that we put online or that we share, it’s almost like a tattoo. It’s forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller says that “associated risk factors” — such as drug abuse and bullying — suggest that “teen dating violence may be occurring more” in Oakland than in other cities. Nationally, the CDC estimates that physical, verbal and emotional abuse affect a quarter of adolescents every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>February marks National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month, which seeks to bring attention to the issue. President Barack Obama recognized the month in a proclamation, writing that “dating violence can affect anyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dating Matters focuses on dating violence and healthy relationships, but other issues in teens’ lives sometimes surface. Miller says that violence, substance abuse and teen prostitution have come up in classes. “They’ve been really honest about their reality and what they see,” Miller says of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valeria Corona, 13, is an eighth-grade student at Lighthouse Charter School, taking Dating Matters this month. Corona says that the subject of teen dating violence “was new to me, and it surprised me how much that happens and how people don’t stand up for themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corona says she’s not dating anyone right now, but that some of her classmates are. She’s glad that she and her friends are learning about dating violence. “We’re going to go into high school, and people are going to change,” Corona says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the classes came later, she says, it might be too late.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The class discusses the behavior of a hypothetical abusive boyfriend.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘Our middle school students are dating.

Do you think he should be able to tell her what to do and what to wear?” A handful of students answer: “No.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in class, students split up into small groups, taking turns placing themselves in the shoes of a victim of dating violence. As the day wraps up, they discuss gender expectations. Mah draws a box on the whiteboard, and the class free-associates ideas about women and girls. Mah writes down words like “cooking” and “makeup” in red ink. “Spectacular” and “smell good” also make the list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are these expectations fair?” Mah asks. “Where do you think we get these expectations from?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students agree that the expectations aren’t fair, and segue into a discussion of where these perceptions come from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/136776334&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/DatingMatters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dating Matters\u003c/a> classes cover issues from why abuse happens, to identifying red flags and talking about gender roles. The initiative is funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Oakland is one of four U.S. cities with a grant for the Dating Matters classes, and the only city on the West Coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program is in its third year in Oakland, part of a five-year pilot. The 10 schools participating in Dating Matters implement one of two approaches. Half the schools feature instruction for eighth-grade students—this is the Safe Dates curriculum that Kirstie Mah teaches at Lighthouse. The other five schools feature classes for sixth through eighth-grade students, and also outreach to parents and educators. After five years, the CDC will review the results from both approaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our middle school students are dating,” says Caroline Miller, who manages Dating Matters for the Alameda County Public Health Department. “I know we often think that ‘maybe by eighth grade, high school definitely.’ But I would say they’re dating earlier and earlier.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the digital age, teens can easily bully and stalk one another. Miller says that classes remind teens that “anything that we put online or that we share, it’s almost like a tattoo. It’s forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller says that “associated risk factors” — such as drug abuse and bullying — suggest that “teen dating violence may be occurring more” in Oakland than in other cities. Nationally, the CDC estimates that physical, verbal and emotional abuse affect a quarter of adolescents every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>February marks National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month, which seeks to bring attention to the issue. President Barack Obama recognized the month in a proclamation, writing that “dating violence can affect anyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dating Matters focuses on dating violence and healthy relationships, but other issues in teens’ lives sometimes surface. Miller says that violence, substance abuse and teen prostitution have come up in classes. “They’ve been really honest about their reality and what they see,” Miller says of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valeria Corona, 13, is an eighth-grade student at Lighthouse Charter School, taking Dating Matters this month. Corona says that the subject of teen dating violence “was new to me, and it surprised me how much that happens and how people don’t stand up for themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corona says she’s not dating anyone right now, but that some of her classmates are. She’s glad that she and her friends are learning about dating violence. “We’re going to go into high school, and people are going to change,” Corona says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the classes came later, she says, it might be too late.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
