By challenging it, San Jose is putting into play a sort of worst-case scenario for the sport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a core tenet of what baseball holds very near and dear to them,” said Maury Brown, president of the Business of Sports Network and a writer for Baseball Prospectus. “They have lobbied and spent millions of dollars over the years through their PACs to basically retain that. So I believe that they are probably scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the antitrust exemption has been unsuccessfully tested before, in 1953 and again in 1972 in the famous \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/07/how-curt-flood-changed-baseball-and-killed-his-career-in-the-process/241783/\" target=\"_blank\">Curt Flood case\u003c/a>. In that instance, the All Star baseball player challenged baseball's now-defunct \"reserve clause,\" which bound players to a team as long as the club desired. (\"A well-paid slave is nonetheless a slave,\" Flood said.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1998 Congress passed the Curt Flood Act, which limited baseball's antitrust exemption in terms of its labor relations, said Michael McCann, director of the Sports and Entertainment Law Institute at the University of New Hampshire School of Law and a legal analyst for Sports Illustrated. This enshrined into law what had already been resolved in collective bargaining agreements. What that legislation did not do is end the league’s ability to block franchise relocation. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most scholars and courts would say because Congress declined to do anything about the exemption in 1998, it should continue to remain in place,“ said McCann.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>[The antitrust exemption] is a core tenet of what baseball holds very near and dear ...\"\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n--Maury Brown, The Business of Sports Network\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>McCann said the legal premise behind baseball’s antitrust exemption stems from the court’s nearly century-old view of the Constitution’s Commerce Clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In order for [antitrust laws] to apply, there has to be interstate commerce,” he said. “And the court held that because baseball games are only played in one place, that’s not interstate commerce. The court today would never agree to that – that’s a very archaic view.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, McCann thinks the odds of San Jose prevailing in the case are “very low.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it would take a very creative judge in terms of where the case is initially assigned to overlook precedent. But sometimes judges do their own thing and a judge may look at this more from a policy perspective than a precedent perspective. That’s certainly what San Jose is hoping for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other legal opinions expressed on the Web concur with McCann’s view that San Jose is unlikely to forge new ground here, no matter how just its cause. From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/athletics/ci_23485245/san-jose-sues-mlb-over-stalled-oakland-move\" target=\"_blank\">San Jose Mercury News\u003c/a> on Tuesday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>University of Virginia law professor Gordon Hylton, who has studied the legal history of American sports, said he \"never thought that the division of the Bay Area into two distinct areas made much sense.\" He added that organized baseball's monopoly is \"almost certainly a violation of the federal antitrust laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hylton was skeptical a San Jose lawsuit against the baseball monopoly would succeed. \"San Jose would probably be better off appealing to Congress than the courts,\" Hylton said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomvanriper/2013/06/20/san-joses-lawsuit-against-major-league-baseball-is-weak/\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Van Riper's column in Forbes\u003c/a> today, on the failure of the potential revocation of the exemption to solve San Jose's problem in any case ....\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The league could certainly maintain a degree of control of its franchises, as does the NFL and other leagues,” says Joseph Bauer, a professor of law at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/colleges/university-of-notre-dame/\">University of Notre Dame\u003c/a>, who studies sports labor issues. “Removing the exemption doesn’t make it unlawful if it has merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merit would conceivably include optimizing business by spreading things out in a way that makes sense. “The league has a legitimate interest in where its franchises are located,” says Matthew Mitten, director of the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University. “That includes being geographically disbursed for television and for sponsors.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Maury Brown, of the Business of Sports Network, said there is some precedent for teams successfully challenging their leagues for the right to relocate. He pointed to the San Diego Clippers' move to Los Angeles in 1984, which it did without permission from the NBA. The Clippers and the league settled in 1987, with the team paying the league $6 million and formally agreeing that NBA rules on franchise location are binding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1982, Al Davis sued for and won the right to move the Raiders from Oakland to Los Angeles against a unanimous veto of the relocation by NFL owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE STADIUM ISSUE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was another dispute that had its roots in displeasure over the Oakland Coliseum: City officials wouldn’t make improvements to the venue that Davis wanted. Leaving aside San Jose's legal case, I asked Maury Brown how much of the A's business problems have to do with the deficiencies of their stadium (now officially called O.co Coliseum, though, really, not by fans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who grew up in the Bay Area and calls himself a “Finley kid,” said of the venue: \"It is the last multipurpose stadium available. It is really not terribly conducive to the whole ballpark experience, which is wholly unique in all of sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ballparks have this historical element, especially since the advent of Oriole Park at Camden Yards and this throwback thing. People really experience ballparks in a different way. I would have to say the stadium is probably a very key element in trying to allow them to be competitive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The promise of a new stadium in downtown San Jose is one thing that has tempted A’s ownership, though even if the move were approved tomorrow, that is not exactly a shovel-ready project and would require a referendum and the acquisition of additional land parcels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting a new sports venue built is no easy trick, said Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ballparks, there’s all these things that come into play – whether infrastructure has to be changed or modified to basically allow 20,000 to maybe 40,000 people to go into a certain area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There can be lots of individuals that say we want to have this happen, but when it really comes down to brass tacks, it can be exceptionally difficult.” “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other thing that’s tempting the A’s is the lure of playing in the heart of Silicon Valley. As KQED’s Nina Thorsen reported in her \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201204190633/a\" target=\"_blank\">series on the stalled San Jose move\u003c/a> last year, \"These relocations are inspired not so much by the fan base or the availability of land, but by the proximity to corporations who are an increasingly important source of revenue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Vrooman, a sports economist on the faculty of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, told Thorsen that corporate clients are the most important ticket buyers. \"It's true for the Sharks, it's true for the Warriors, it's true for the Raiders, and it's going be true for the Athletics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the non-corporate Oakland fan base of today, the uncertainty continues. As it does for the would-be fan base awaiting in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Thursday, the \u003ca href=\"http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/standings/\" target=\"_blank\">A's were in first place\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In that instance, the All Star baseball player challenged baseball's now-defunct \"reserve clause,\" which bound players to a team as long as the club desired. (\"A well-paid slave is nonetheless a slave,\" Flood said.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1998 Congress passed the Curt Flood Act, which limited baseball's antitrust exemption in terms of its labor relations, said Michael McCann, director of the Sports and Entertainment Law Institute at the University of New Hampshire School of Law and a legal analyst for Sports Illustrated. This enshrined into law what had already been resolved in collective bargaining agreements. What that legislation did not do is end the league’s ability to block franchise relocation. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most scholars and courts would say because Congress declined to do anything about the exemption in 1998, it should continue to remain in place,“ said McCann.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>[The antitrust exemption] is a core tenet of what baseball holds very near and dear ...\"\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n--Maury Brown, The Business of Sports Network\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>McCann said the legal premise behind baseball’s antitrust exemption stems from the court’s nearly century-old view of the Constitution’s Commerce Clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In order for [antitrust laws] to apply, there has to be interstate commerce,” he said. “And the court held that because baseball games are only played in one place, that’s not interstate commerce. The court today would never agree to that – that’s a very archaic view.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, McCann thinks the odds of San Jose prevailing in the case are “very low.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it would take a very creative judge in terms of where the case is initially assigned to overlook precedent. But sometimes judges do their own thing and a judge may look at this more from a policy perspective than a precedent perspective. That’s certainly what San Jose is hoping for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other legal opinions expressed on the Web concur with McCann’s view that San Jose is unlikely to forge new ground here, no matter how just its cause. From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/athletics/ci_23485245/san-jose-sues-mlb-over-stalled-oakland-move\" target=\"_blank\">San Jose Mercury News\u003c/a> on Tuesday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>University of Virginia law professor Gordon Hylton, who has studied the legal history of American sports, said he \"never thought that the division of the Bay Area into two distinct areas made much sense.\" He added that organized baseball's monopoly is \"almost certainly a violation of the federal antitrust laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hylton was skeptical a San Jose lawsuit against the baseball monopoly would succeed. \"San Jose would probably be better off appealing to Congress than the courts,\" Hylton said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomvanriper/2013/06/20/san-joses-lawsuit-against-major-league-baseball-is-weak/\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Van Riper's column in Forbes\u003c/a> today, on the failure of the potential revocation of the exemption to solve San Jose's problem in any case ....\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The league could certainly maintain a degree of control of its franchises, as does the NFL and other leagues,” says Joseph Bauer, a professor of law at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/colleges/university-of-notre-dame/\">University of Notre Dame\u003c/a>, who studies sports labor issues. “Removing the exemption doesn’t make it unlawful if it has merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merit would conceivably include optimizing business by spreading things out in a way that makes sense. “The league has a legitimate interest in where its franchises are located,” says Matthew Mitten, director of the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University. “That includes being geographically disbursed for television and for sponsors.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Maury Brown, of the Business of Sports Network, said there is some precedent for teams successfully challenging their leagues for the right to relocate. He pointed to the San Diego Clippers' move to Los Angeles in 1984, which it did without permission from the NBA. The Clippers and the league settled in 1987, with the team paying the league $6 million and formally agreeing that NBA rules on franchise location are binding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1982, Al Davis sued for and won the right to move the Raiders from Oakland to Los Angeles against a unanimous veto of the relocation by NFL owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>THE STADIUM ISSUE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was another dispute that had its roots in displeasure over the Oakland Coliseum: City officials wouldn’t make improvements to the venue that Davis wanted. Leaving aside San Jose's legal case, I asked Maury Brown how much of the A's business problems have to do with the deficiencies of their stadium (now officially called O.co Coliseum, though, really, not by fans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who grew up in the Bay Area and calls himself a “Finley kid,” said of the venue: \"It is the last multipurpose stadium available. It is really not terribly conducive to the whole ballpark experience, which is wholly unique in all of sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ballparks have this historical element, especially since the advent of Oriole Park at Camden Yards and this throwback thing. People really experience ballparks in a different way. I would have to say the stadium is probably a very key element in trying to allow them to be competitive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The promise of a new stadium in downtown San Jose is one thing that has tempted A’s ownership, though even if the move were approved tomorrow, that is not exactly a shovel-ready project and would require a referendum and the acquisition of additional land parcels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting a new sports venue built is no easy trick, said Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ballparks, there’s all these things that come into play – whether infrastructure has to be changed or modified to basically allow 20,000 to maybe 40,000 people to go into a certain area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There can be lots of individuals that say we want to have this happen, but when it really comes down to brass tacks, it can be exceptionally difficult.” “\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other thing that’s tempting the A’s is the lure of playing in the heart of Silicon Valley. As KQED’s Nina Thorsen reported in her \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/kqednews/RN201204190633/a\" target=\"_blank\">series on the stalled San Jose move\u003c/a> last year, \"These relocations are inspired not so much by the fan base or the availability of land, but by the proximity to corporations who are an increasingly important source of revenue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Vrooman, a sports economist on the faculty of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, told Thorsen that corporate clients are the most important ticket buyers. \"It's true for the Sharks, it's true for the Warriors, it's true for the Raiders, and it's going be true for the Athletics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the non-corporate Oakland fan base of today, the uncertainty continues. As it does for the would-be fan base awaiting in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s finishing its first year as an entirely \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/01/what-project-based-learning-is-and-isnt/\">project-based learning\u003c/a> school, a concept that’s got education reformers across the country buzzing. Bulldog is a small school with large ambition: prove that a public school can innovate as well as charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s no secret that a lot of teachers, principals, parents and kids are fed up with standardized testing. They think it relies too much on memorization and too little on problem-solving skills, deemed key to getting ahead in the global economy. Instead, they’d like to see schools inspire students to collaborate, communicate, create and direct their own learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bulldog Tech classrooms don’t look like many public seventh grades (eighth grade will be added next year). There are no desks, no rows and no teacher at the front of the classroom. Instead, teams of students sit at tables all over the classroom, collaborating on presentation boards about a topic in Renaissance history, for example.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These kids have spent two weeks exploring a subject together, dividing up the work and holding one another accountable if a team member doesn’t do her part. Their teacher, Suzanne Zamora, got them going by designing a project around a few state standards. Project-based learning teaches students so much more than content, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We want to cover the curriculum much deeper and to find all those little hidden things that can allow the child to connect it to other learning in their head.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have content, of course, oral communication, written communication, technology, we even have aesthetics as one of our learning goals,” Zamora said. “And we grade them on all of those. So a project isn’t just all about content, it’s about all of these different components.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transitioning to this model was hard for students who had gone through six years of traditional elementary school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They weren’t really used to collaborating every single day,” Zamora said. “And they weren’t used to creating and learning through projects, rather than the project being at the end and more of the assessment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a key part of Bulldog Tech and the project-based model. Projects aren’t an extra thing to do after a student has learned the content: They are the vehicle for learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s all new stuff for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eesd.org/\">Evergreen School District\u003c/a>, which is spending almost $400,000 over four years to be part of a nationwide nonprofit consortium of schools called \u003ca href=\"http://www.newtechnetwork.org/\">The New Tech Network\u003c/a>. The money covers iPads, training for teachers and access to a robust online system that tracks work and grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Tech Network, which was founded 15 years ago, is taking its schoolwide project-based model \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/05/what-it-takes-to-become-a-project-based-school/\">national\u003c/a>. The organization, which offers a paid program for schools to use its model, began with a flagship school in Napa and has grown to 120 schools in 18 states, most of which are public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The network has grown not only in size but also in reputation. President Obama \u003ca href=\"http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Education/2013/0509/In-Texas-Obama-lauds-New-Tech-high-school.-Model-for-the-future-video\">visited Manor New Tech High School\u003c/a> in Texas last month as part of an effort to promote an education agenda focused on producing graduates that can compete in today’s global economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers at Bulldog are connected to other New Tech Network teachers around the country through the online system, so they can share lesson plans, project ideas and lessons learned. A big part of the New Tech service is providing each school with a coach. At Bulldog Tech, teachers transferred from other parts of the district and had never taught using project-based learning. The coach helped them understand how to craft effective projects, work together and build a culture of trust, respect and responsibility among the students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98980\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-98980\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/06/Bulldog2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Some Bulldog Tech student projects, ready for presentation to prospective sixth grade parents.

(Katrina Schwartz/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Students at Bulldog Tech like the new model. They get to use technology like iPads in almost all their projects, and teachers even allow them to use their \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/tag/mobile-learning/\">cell phones for work in class\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got to replicate a form of one of the Roman buildings called the Hagia Sophia in, I guess you can call it a video game, called Mindcraft,” explained 13-year-old Jasmine Le. She even designed a roller coaster so visitors to her building could get a 360-degree view – a little creative flare that distinguishes the model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And more importantly, it’s the kind of memorable learning that defines this method.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to cover the curriculum much deeper and to find all those little hidden things that can allow the child to connect it to other learning in their head,” said Bulldog site director Randy Hollenkamp. “And once they do that, it’s the kind of learning they never forget.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are pitfalls. Project-based learning is time-consuming, and there are a lot of mandated state curricula to be covered. Hollenkamp said teachers can stumble if they don’t design a project that ensures students retain the right outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Otherwise you could just give out worksheets and cover the curriculum much faster,” Hollenkamp said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Math is particularly important on state tests, but Bulldog’s math teachers had trouble covering all the units this year. “The students have definitely learned to think critically for themselves and to problem-solve,” said Rosine Borello, a math teacher. When it came to testing, her students used their base knowledge to figure out things they’d never seen before, she said. That’s called transferring knowledge, or adapting it to a new situation, and it’s one of the skills employers say they are looking for in future hires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, this is an expensive model and not one that’s likely to be doable throughout the district without a lot more state funding. As it stands now, Bulldog Tech is a magnet school, operating as a school-within-a-school on the larger \u003ca href=\"http://www.eesd.org/page.cfm?p=2497\">LeyVa Middle School\u003c/a> campus. More than half of LeyVa’s students qualify for free and reduced lunches, and Hollenkamp said Bulldog’s demographics mirror LeyVa’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bulldog Tech students eat lunch at LeyVa, take PE there and have access to extracurricular activities like sports and school dances, too. That has caused a little friction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a little jealousy, as far as why do they get all the money,” said Brian Conrad, a teacher at LeyVa, where teachers don’t get extra lesson planning time or iPads. Conrad and many of his colleagues understand the Bulldog Tech model needs more money to operate its model, but it raises equality questions. “Here we also need money at LeyVa. I mean, I get $1.85 per student in my budget,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It really is mostly a money problem. Some LeyVa teachers may be disgruntled, but they also see how project-based learning might benefit their classrooms down the road.\u003cbr>\nThe district wants to keep students in the district by offering a model that rivals the many charters competing for students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bulldog Tech has given 50 tours of their site this year, many of which were San Jose public schools interested in seeing how it’s working. Eastside Union High School District, where Bulldog Tech students would go after completing 8th grade, is even looking at opening several New Tech high schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of educators out there hungry for this, because Common Core is pushing them, but also because it’s common sense,” Hollenkamp said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.corestandards.org/\">Common Core\u003c/a> is a new set of educational standards California has adopted. It puts more emphasis on problem-solving and explaining the process behind answers. Along with the new standards will come a new state test, called \u003ca href=\"http://www.smarterbalanced.org/smarter-balanced-assessments/\">Smarter Balanced Assessments\u003c/a>, to measure those new skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very likely, as we’ve seen again and again, that the outcomes and achievement for these kids will not be captured by the existing tests,” said Brent Duckor, a professor of education at San Jose State University focusing on assessment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. has a long history of education reform efforts, many of which have been undone by tests that don’t measure the “soft skills,” things like collaboration and creativity on which schools like Bulldog Tech are based. The Smarter Balanced Assessment might be no different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we are going to measure something it’s going to take time and it’s going to take resources and effort,” Duckor said. “And what we’ve seen is a lot less attention on measuring those skills in any rigorous or reliable way.” As it is, some education experts estimate that Smarter Balanced Assessments will cost 20 times as much per student as current state tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adaptability, communication and perseverance might not be measurable yet on state tests, but they are the skills employers say they’re looking for in future hires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the radio story \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/bulldog-tech-explores-project\">here\u003c/a>:\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F95758435\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s finishing its first year as an entirely \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/01/what-project-based-learning-is-and-isnt/\">project-based learning\u003c/a> school, a concept that’s got education reformers across the country buzzing. Bulldog is a small school with large ambition: prove that a public school can innovate as well as charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s no secret that a lot of teachers, principals, parents and kids are fed up with standardized testing. They think it relies too much on memorization and too little on problem-solving skills, deemed key to getting ahead in the global economy. Instead, they’d like to see schools inspire students to collaborate, communicate, create and direct their own learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bulldog Tech classrooms don’t look like many public seventh grades (eighth grade will be added next year). There are no desks, no rows and no teacher at the front of the classroom. Instead, teams of students sit at tables all over the classroom, collaborating on presentation boards about a topic in Renaissance history, for example.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These kids have spent two weeks exploring a subject together, dividing up the work and holding one another accountable if a team member doesn’t do her part. Their teacher, Suzanne Zamora, got them going by designing a project around a few state standards. Project-based learning teaches students so much more than content, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We want to cover the curriculum much deeper and to find all those little hidden things that can allow the child to connect it to other learning in their head.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So a project isn’t just all about content, it’s about all of these different components.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transitioning to this model was hard for students who had gone through six years of traditional elementary school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They weren’t really used to collaborating every single day,” Zamora said. “And they weren’t used to creating and learning through projects, rather than the project being at the end and more of the assessment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a key part of Bulldog Tech and the project-based model. Projects aren’t an extra thing to do after a student has learned the content: They are the vehicle for learning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s all new stuff for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eesd.org/\">Evergreen School District\u003c/a>, which is spending almost $400,000 over four years to be part of a nationwide nonprofit consortium of schools called \u003ca href=\"http://www.newtechnetwork.org/\">The New Tech Network\u003c/a>. The money covers iPads, training for teachers and access to a robust online system that tracks work and grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Tech Network, which was founded 15 years ago, is taking its schoolwide project-based model \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/05/what-it-takes-to-become-a-project-based-school/\">national\u003c/a>. The organization, which offers a paid program for schools to use its model, began with a flagship school in Napa and has grown to 120 schools in 18 states, most of which are public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The network has grown not only in size but also in reputation. President Obama \u003ca href=\"http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Education/2013/0509/In-Texas-Obama-lauds-New-Tech-high-school.-Model-for-the-future-video\">visited Manor New Tech High School\u003c/a> in Texas last month as part of an effort to promote an education agenda focused on producing graduates that can compete in today’s global economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers at Bulldog are connected to other New Tech Network teachers around the country through the online system, so they can share lesson plans, project ideas and lessons learned. A big part of the New Tech service is providing each school with a coach. At Bulldog Tech, teachers transferred from other parts of the district and had never taught using project-based learning. The coach helped them understand how to craft effective projects, work together and build a culture of trust, respect and responsibility among the students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98980\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-98980\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/06/Bulldog2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Some Bulldog Tech student projects, ready for presentation to prospective sixth grade parents.

(Katrina Schwartz/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Students at Bulldog Tech like the new model. They get to use technology like iPads in almost all their projects, and teachers even allow them to use their \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/tag/mobile-learning/\">cell phones for work in class\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got to replicate a form of one of the Roman buildings called the Hagia Sophia in, I guess you can call it a video game, called Mindcraft,” explained 13-year-old Jasmine Le. She even designed a roller coaster so visitors to her building could get a 360-degree view – a little creative flare that distinguishes the model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And more importantly, it’s the kind of memorable learning that defines this method.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to cover the curriculum much deeper and to find all those little hidden things that can allow the child to connect it to other learning in their head,” said Bulldog site director Randy Hollenkamp. “And once they do that, it’s the kind of learning they never forget.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are pitfalls. Project-based learning is time-consuming, and there are a lot of mandated state curricula to be covered. Hollenkamp said teachers can stumble if they don’t design a project that ensures students retain the right outcomes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Otherwise you could just give out worksheets and cover the curriculum much faster,” Hollenkamp said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Math is particularly important on state tests, but Bulldog’s math teachers had trouble covering all the units this year. “The students have definitely learned to think critically for themselves and to problem-solve,” said Rosine Borello, a math teacher. When it came to testing, her students used their base knowledge to figure out things they’d never seen before, she said. That’s called transferring knowledge, or adapting it to a new situation, and it’s one of the skills employers say they are looking for in future hires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, this is an expensive model and not one that’s likely to be doable throughout the district without a lot more state funding. As it stands now, Bulldog Tech is a magnet school, operating as a school-within-a-school on the larger \u003ca href=\"http://www.eesd.org/page.cfm?p=2497\">LeyVa Middle School\u003c/a> campus. More than half of LeyVa’s students qualify for free and reduced lunches, and Hollenkamp said Bulldog’s demographics mirror LeyVa’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bulldog Tech students eat lunch at LeyVa, take PE there and have access to extracurricular activities like sports and school dances, too. That has caused a little friction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a little jealousy, as far as why do they get all the money,” said Brian Conrad, a teacher at LeyVa, where teachers don’t get extra lesson planning time or iPads. Conrad and many of his colleagues understand the Bulldog Tech model needs more money to operate its model, but it raises equality questions. “Here we also need money at LeyVa. I mean, I get $1.85 per student in my budget,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It really is mostly a money problem. Some LeyVa teachers may be disgruntled, but they also see how project-based learning might benefit their classrooms down the road.\u003cbr>\nThe district wants to keep students in the district by offering a model that rivals the many charters competing for students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bulldog Tech has given 50 tours of their site this year, many of which were San Jose public schools interested in seeing how it’s working. Eastside Union High School District, where Bulldog Tech students would go after completing 8th grade, is even looking at opening several New Tech high schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of educators out there hungry for this, because Common Core is pushing them, but also because it’s common sense,” Hollenkamp said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.corestandards.org/\">Common Core\u003c/a> is a new set of educational standards California has adopted. It puts more emphasis on problem-solving and explaining the process behind answers. Along with the new standards will come a new state test, called \u003ca href=\"http://www.smarterbalanced.org/smarter-balanced-assessments/\">Smarter Balanced Assessments\u003c/a>, to measure those new skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very likely, as we’ve seen again and again, that the outcomes and achievement for these kids will not be captured by the existing tests,” said Brent Duckor, a professor of education at San Jose State University focusing on assessment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. has a long history of education reform efforts, many of which have been undone by tests that don’t measure the “soft skills,” things like collaboration and creativity on which schools like Bulldog Tech are based. The Smarter Balanced Assessment might be no different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we are going to measure something it’s going to take time and it’s going to take resources and effort,” Duckor said. “And what we’ve seen is a lot less attention on measuring those skills in any rigorous or reliable way.” As it is, some education experts estimate that Smarter Balanced Assessments will cost 20 times as much per student as current state tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adaptability, communication and perseverance might not be measurable yet on state tests, but they are the skills employers say they’re looking for in future hires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
