Dinowitz asks about scale of Prayor's programs versus Brooklyn South enrollment
Dinowitz asks how many students engage in these programs. Prayor says about 400 11th graders participate, but Brooklyn South has about 31,000 high schoolers and roughly 10,000 11th graders. Dinowitz notes the scale challenge.
So now I need to ask about scale.
How many students total did you talk about?
You talked about 18 to 25 for the first one.
Just like in total, how many students?
Engage in these types of projects?
So we have, each year we have about 411 graders.
Some of those 11 graders, once they go through the program, they become seniors and they become mentors for the new 11 graders.
But let me ask you, every single...
No, no.
11Th grader in Brooklyn South goes to this program.
You're saying it's about 400?
About 400.
And how many 11th graders total are there in Brooklyn South?
I probably have about, I would say...
I have 31,000 students.
So 11th grade is...
Maybe about 10,000.
Yeah.
About 10,000.
You said 31,000 high schoolers?
I have 31,000 high schools.
Okay.
So probably a little more than if it's quarter, right?
It's probably a little less than 10,000, but fine.
Whatever.
It's like 7,500, whatever.
So now we have the issue, one of the other issues that came up about scale.
And I appreciate those examples.
I know, Dr.
Chang, you have a lot of examples from your portfolio-based assessments.
We have this issue of scale.
Great things going on in our school.
It's clear, according to your testimony, the rubrics are assessed by something central in the DOE.
Now, that has to be expanded to about 7,000 more students in your district alone.
What is the plan for that?
