The FUDTA Human and Civil Rights Committee advocates equity within the Association as well as within the Fremont Unified School District

The FUDTA Human Rights Committee advocates equity within the Association as well as within the Fremont Unified School District. We provide information and engage our unit members in activities and workshops on issues related to human rights and social justice. The intent of our committee is to promote positive human relations and improve the education of all students with a focus on equitable access to public education. Our goal is to educate our unit members to understand different cultures and sexual orientations, thus promoting understanding of differences and promote a community of caring. The FUDTA Human and Civil Rights Committee plans the Association’s program based on the following concerns:

 

Ø      A quality education for all students

Ø      Respect and dignity for all students and teachers

Ø      Recruitment and retention of a diverse teaching force and Association leaders

Ø      Training on human/civil rights issues that impact student achievement

"Race to the Top"

The governor's rush to change laws so California can apply for "Race to the Top" funding could undermine student progress and hurt schools.

Teachers back effective educational reform that addresses student needs, but the push to hastily qualify for "Race to the Top" competitive grants will be detrimental to students with its over-reliance of test scores to measure student achievement.  The proposed regulations for "Race to the Top" are all too similar to the failed policies of the No Child Left Behind Act.  Any changes to education policy should be carefully considered.
