winds were unusually

Dr. Nemko: When I went

before the fire, I saw 
fire, but it was far away.

53
00:02:29,066 --> 00:02:33,533
It never occurred to any of 
us I think the night before,

54
00:02:33,566 --> 00:02:36,100
that that fire was going to 
be so serious it would

55
00:02:36,133 --> 00:02:37,633
close schools

56
00:02:37,666 --> 00:02:39,533
Tim: The fires 
that night didn't just close

57
00:02:39,566 --> 00:02:42,766
schools, eight in the 
Santa Rosa area were heavily

58
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,666
damaged or destroyed.

59
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:47,233
Getting those schools 
re-opened or replaced,

60
00:02:47,266 --> 00:02:50,100
as quickly as 
possible, is a priority,

61
00:02:50,133 --> 00:02:52,433
says Sonoma County 
Superintendent Steven

Herrington, who's dealt 
with more than one disaster

63
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,166
through the years.

64
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,866
Dr. Herrington: The more 
schools we could open,

65
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:00,300
we would create a 
greater sense of normalcy.

66
00:03:00,333 --> 00:03:02,966
And for children 
normalcy is important.

67
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,833
So our goal was, and I 
learned that from floods and

68
00:03:05,866 --> 00:03:07,400
I learned that 
from the earthquake,

69
00:03:07,433 --> 00:03:09,966
you need to create an 
environment of safety and an

70
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,166
environment of normalcy.

71
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,066
Tim: Though no schools in 
Napa County were damaged by

72
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:17,566
fire, schools were closed 
for two weeks because air

73
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,400
quality was so poor.

74
00:03:19,433 --> 00:03:22,400
In Sonoma County, it wasn't 
just losing two weeks of

75
00:03:22,433 --> 00:03:23,833
teaching and learning.

76
00:03:23,866 --> 00:03:27,900
An estimated 1,500 public 
school students lost homes.

77
00:03:27,933 --> 00:03:30,600
So did nearly 400 teachers.

78
00:03:30,633 --> 00:03:33,233
Well more than a thousand 
students have been relocated

79
00:03:33,266 --> 00:03:37,266
to new campuses, like the 
430 students who attend

80
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:39,100
Roseland Collegiate Prep.

81
00:03:39,133 --> 00:03:41,100

00:03:41,966 --> 00:03:44,366
So when you see

00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,800
ignore that, 
look at each other,

85
00:03:45,833 --> 00:03:46,800
right.

going to keep us coming.

00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,433
Tim: There's a good reason 
for that little pep talk

90
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:56,066
from English 
teacher Tomas Salinas.

91
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:58,900
These students from Roseland 
experienced perhaps the most

92
00:03:58,933 --> 00:04:00,433
disruption in Sonoma County.

93
00:04:00,466 --> 00:04:02,700
Their school is 
heavily damaged,

94
00:04:02,733 --> 00:04:05,800
so they first relocated to 
two different elementary

95
00:04:05,833 --> 00:04:07,833
schools in Santa 
Rosa that had space.

96
00:04:07,866 --> 00:04:11,966
Then they relocated to this 
high school building when it

97
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,066
became available.

98
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:15,733
Roseland kids have dealt 
with a lot of change this

99
00:04:15,766 --> 00:04:16,900
school year.

100
00:04:16,933 --> 00:04:18,466
Danielle: To get them back 
in the groove of school took

101
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:20,600
a little longer because they 
had two things they were

102
00:04:20,633 --> 00:04:22,433
really focusing on -— 
a new environment,

103
00:04:22,466 --> 00:04:25,100
and I just lost a home 
or I just lost my school.

104
00:04:25,133 --> 00:04:28,500
TimL Roseland principal 
Danielle Yount is racing to

105
00:04:28,533 --> 00:04:29,566
keep up too.

106
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,233
In addition to unpacking 
and setting up yet another

107
00:04:32,266 --> 00:04:35,300
office, she was looking 
forward to some fresh paint.

108
00:04:35,333 --> 00:04:38,733
Purple is the previous 
tenant's school color.

109
00:04:38,766 --> 00:04:40,400
Roseland has 
something a bit lighter.

110
00:04:40,433 --> 00:04:41,733
Danielle: Yeah, 
they're green and blue,

111
00:04:41,766 --> 00:04:43,933
and we're living in 
purple right now.

112
00:04:43,966 --> 00:04:46,500
Yeah, so we're hoping to 
get some paint on the walls,

113
00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:48,466
maybe over the winter break, 
so when they come back,

114
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:51,433
for a semester or two, 
it's a nice fresh start

115
00:04:51,466 --> 00:04:53,733
Tim: Because it's become 
more common for California

116
00:04:53,766 --> 00:04:56,233
administrators to 
deal with disasters,

117
00:04:56,266 --> 00:04:58,633
superintendents aren't 
just sharing information on

118
00:04:58,666 --> 00:05:01,766
curriculum, test scores and 
budgets -— they're sharing

119
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,466
tips on disaster recovery.

120
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:05,966
Dr. Herrington: This is 
how you do FEMA forms,

121
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,833
this is how you 
do all of that.

122
00:05:07,866 --> 00:05:12,066
Because it's becoming a new 
common place situation

123
00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:13,233
for us.

124
00:05:13,266 --> 00:05:18,700
We just kept taking notes 
as a protocol and basically

125
00:05:18,733 --> 00:05:21,433
have shared that information 
to the next county that

126
00:05:21,466 --> 00:05:22,700
experiences the fire.

127
00:05:22,733 --> 00:05:25,600
Tim: Not long after Dr. 
Herrington was dealing with

128
00:05:25,633 --> 00:05:28,866
fires in his region, he was 
on the phone with educators

129
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:31,733
in Santa Barbara, who were 
reeling from the monstrous

130
00:05:31,766 --> 00:05:32,700
Thomas Fire.

131
00:05:32,733 --> 00:05:35,233
Glen: We put people who 
could help each other,

132
00:05:35,266 --> 00:05:37,866
in contact with each 
other immediately.

133
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:40,500
So for example we were 
able to put Sonoma County

134
00:05:40,533 --> 00:05:43,066
superintendent Steve 
Herrington in contact with

135
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:44,900
Santa Barbara County 
superintendent Susan

136
00:05:44,933 --> 00:05:47,466
Salcido, so that they could 
learn from each other peer

137
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:50,000
to peer because we know 
that's one way people learn

138
00:05:50,033 --> 00:05:52,000
very effectively, is 
learning from their peers.

139
00:05:52,033 --> 00:05:54,700
Tim: Glen Price is the Chief 
Deputy Superintendent for

140
00:05:54,733 --> 00:05:56,433
the state 
Department of Education.

141
00:05:56,466 --> 00:05:59,633
He says every school in 
California is required to

142
00:05:59,666 --> 00:06:02,900
develop safety plans that 
instruct staff and students

143
00:06:02,933 --> 00:06:05,866
how to respond when a 
disaster or emergency

144
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:07,066
arrives.

145
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:10,866
Napa superintendent Barbara 
Nemko showed us the colorful

146
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:13,900
and extensive plan that's 
supposed to be posted in

147
00:06:13,933 --> 00:06:15,600
every classroom 
in her county.

148
00:06:15,633 --> 00:06:20,166
Dr. Nemko: If you look at 
it covers duck and cover,

149
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,333
shelter in place, 
it covers lockdown,

150
00:06:23,366 --> 00:06:25,566
offsite evacuations.

151
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,600
It covers 
animal disturbance,

152
00:06:27,633 --> 00:06:28,933
bet you hadn't 
thought about that one.

153
00:06:28,966 --> 00:06:31,233
Biological or 
chemical release,

154
00:06:31,266 --> 00:06:33,966
bomb threat, earthquake, 
explosion or risk of

155
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,900
explosion, fire, 
flooding, pandemic flu.

156
00:06:38,933 --> 00:06:41,333
So yes, teachers 
know what to do,

157
00:06:41,366 --> 00:06:42,800
schools know what to do.

158
00:06:42,833 --> 00:06:45,633
And we're pretty 
good at following this,

159
00:06:45,666 --> 00:06:47,333
we train people in it.

160
00:06:47,366 --> 00:06:49,633
Tim: Surviving one of those 
disasters and re-opening a

161
00:06:49,666 --> 00:06:52,000
school can happen in weeks.

162
00:06:52,033 --> 00:06:54,633
But Glen Price says because 
schools and surrounding

163
00:06:54,666 --> 00:06:56,866
neighborhoods can be 
so heavily damaged,

164
00:06:56,900 --> 00:06:59,733
complete recovery can 
take a very long time.

165
00:06:59,766 --> 00:07:03,600
Glen: Don't think this is 
going to turn around for you

166
00:07:03,633 --> 00:07:06,033
in the next 3 to 6 months.

167
00:07:06,066 --> 00:07:08,333
You're going to be looking 
at where you're getting back

168
00:07:08,366 --> 00:07:11,100
your students and your 
families over a 1 year,

169
00:07:11,133 --> 00:07:12,200
2 year, 3 year period.

170
00:07:12,233 --> 00:07:15,300
Tim: There's also the 
issue of missed class time.

171
00:07:15,333 --> 00:07:18,066
Teachers and their students 
are scrambling to make up

172
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:19,533

173
00:07:19,566 --> 00:07:21,833

and so a lot of them bring 
those talents into teaching

actually serving and making

But, I, they really see

467
00:19:59,766 --> 00:20:01,900
And I think that's one 
of the strengths of this

468
00:20:01,933 --> 00:20:06,000

application and that

Um, he is a business person.

486
00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:49,200
In teaching it's a 
little bit different,

487
00:20:49,233 --> 00:20:51,766
it's not dollars and cents, 
it's how kids are growing

in research institute,

500
00:21:17,133 --> 00:21:18,733
we actually were on the 
campus of San Francisco

501
00:21:18,766 --> 00:21:21,300
General Hospital and I 
was researching HIV.

502

After I left 
molecular biology,

503
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:26,100
I stayed at home to raise 
my children and I thought,

504
00:21:26,133 --> 00:21:28,000
you know, I can 
combine those two loves,

505
00:21:28,033 --> 00:21:30,266
so I decided teaching 
science was where

506
00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:31,166
I wanted to be.

507
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,366

just one thing.

512
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:42,633
Ms. Ferrell is a 
really, really good teacher.

513
00:21:42,666 --> 00:21:44,233
And it's an 
organized classroom, too.

514
00:21:44,266 --> 00:21:46,233
So yeah we may get 
a bit out of hand,

515
00:21:46,266 --> 00:21:47,933
but she does tend 
to keep us in order,

516
00:21:47,966 --> 00:21:49,166
so she's a great teacher.

517
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,133
Sharon: I think that as 
an, especially as an older

518
00:21:51,166 --> 00:21:53,833
person, the kids they think 
of me almost as a mother

519
00:21:53,866 --> 00:21:57,033
figure so they, they feel 
confident in me right from

520
00:21:57,066 --> 00:21:58,900
the start even 
though I'm a new teacher.

521
00:21:58,933 --> 00:22:01,666
And I have enough confidence 
to straight up to them,

522
00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:03,300
"Look, we're new, 
we're doing this together,

523
00:22:03,333 --> 00:22:05,300
I'm a brand new teacher this 
year and we're all going to

524
00:22:05,333 --> 00:22:06,366
learn together.

525
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,666
We're going to see what 
comes out and if it's not

526
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:09,766
where we thought we'd be, 
we're gonna start over and

527
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,866
try a different tact.

528
00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:12,866
Christina: Across the 
hall from Sharon Ferrell's

529
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:15,400
chemistry lab is Jon 
Negin's classroom.

530
00:22:15,433 --> 00:22:17,800
His students were surprised 
to learn that their teacher

531
00:22:17,833 --> 00:22:21,066
is a retired military 
officer who spent nearly 30

532
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:22,200
years in the Army.

533
00:22:22,233 --> 00:22:24,100
Sierra: I thought he was a 
college professor before.

534
00:22:24,133 --> 00:22:26,166
Just like, there's just 
something about him that's

535
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,133
just so official and 
he's very knowledgeable,

536
00:22:28,166 --> 00:22:31,866
but I had absolutely no 
idea he was in the military.

537
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:34,666
That just kind of makes 
me think higher of him,

538
00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:36,066
like he's more 
of an official,

539
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:37,966
more of a person 
to look up to.

540
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,033
Jon: As an Army officer, a 
lot of your job is about

541
00:22:41,066 --> 00:22:44,100
teaching and training young 
soldiers as individuals and

542
00:22:44,133 --> 00:22:47,033
teams and I really enjoyed 
that aspect of the Army.

543
00:22:47,066 --> 00:22:49,200
That's one of the best 
things about the military,

544
00:22:49,233 --> 00:22:51,000
maybe a lot of people 
don't think about that,

545
00:22:51,033 --> 00:22:54,433
but you have a tremendous 
opportunity to impact young

546
00:22:54,466 --> 00:22:55,533
people.

547
00:22:55,566 --> 00:22:59,266
I think it's actually a 
fairly normal transition to

548
00:22:59,300 --> 00:23:03,100
go from serving in the 
military to going back into

549
00:23:03,133 --> 00:23:05,833
a classroom and teaching at 
a lot of different levels.

550
00:23:05,866 --> 00:23:08,500
You're responsible 
for their lives,

551
00:23:08,533 --> 00:23:11,200
literally, in the military, 
and in teaching you're

552
00:23:11,233 --> 00:23:13,500
responsible for their 
academic life and their

553
00:23:13,533 --> 00:23:17,000
growth academically and it's 
a tremendous responsibility

554
00:23:17,033 --> 00:23:20,300
that you can't take lightly 
and you have to be all in.

555
00:23:20,333 --> 00:23:22,066
Christina: As an added 
challenge....teacher interns

556
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:25,833
at certain charter schools 
are not only learn how to

557
00:23:25,866 --> 00:23:28,566
teach, they're learning 
a very specific style of

558
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,566
teaching.

559
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,866
For former business 
owner Jon Holloway,

560
00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:35,066
that means taking intensive 
Montessori training classes

561
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:36,533
on top of his 
credential classes.

562
00:23:36,566 --> 00:23:38,700
Phil: In the 
Montessori model,

563
00:23:38,733 --> 00:23:41,700
students are asked to do 
more self-directing on their

564
00:23:41,733 --> 00:23:43,366
own and the students take 
more ownership of their

565
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,366
learning.

566
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,266
You have to then monitor 
multiple students doing

567
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:48,966
multiple things 
at the same time,

568
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,566
so the skill 
set is different.

569
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,700
In a regular, traditional 
classroom it might is more

570
00:23:52,733 --> 00:23:55,766
of 'I'm going to do this one 
thing with all these kids

571
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,733
and have them all try 
to do really well."

572
00:23:57,766 --> 00:23:59,566
Jon: I guess the most 
difficult thing is trying to

573
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,033
meld the two types of 
teaching that I'm learning

574
00:24:02,066 --> 00:24:03,366
simultaneously.

575
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,266
And being in charge of 
21 lives is an awesome

576
00:24:05,300 --> 00:24:09,133
responsibility and you have 
to have the commitment to

577
00:24:09,166 --> 00:24:10,533
match that responsibility.

578
00:24:10,566 --> 00:24:12,733

We know that they are

themselves that time to grow
