Pacifica Institute welcomed Caprice Young for the luncheon
forum. She is currently the interim CEO of KC
Distance Learning and Vice President, Business Development and
Alliances of Knowledge Universe.
Prior to joining KU in September 2008, she was President and CEO
of the California Charter Schools
Association. Under Caprices 5-year leadership, the number of
charter California schools grew by more than
300 and student enrollment grew by more than 100,000. From
1999-2003, Caprice served as a member and
president of the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of
Education. Her career has included leadership
roles in business, higher education and government. She also
serves on numerous boards, including the
Governors Advisory Committee on Education Excellence, the Chime
Institute and the National Alliance for
Public Charter Schools. She is a recipient of the Coro
Foundation Crystal Eagle Award for Achievement in
Public Service.
Caprice earned her bachelors degree from Yale University, an MPA
from the University of Southern California,
and her Doctorate of Education from the University of
California, Los Angeles.
Caprice Young started her speech by acknowledging the learning
needs of different age groups and how
teachers and educators should respond to that. With a set of
strict rules confining the educators, innovative
teaching techniques can not be properly addressed for the needs
of students. Given the dropout rate at inner
city schools, there is an alarming fact of this generation who
would face the real life in 10-15 years. She said
that the charter schools in California are doing fine with small
class sizes and specifically tailored curriculum for
the needs of the students.
California had long been credited for its education system but
this has changed drastically over the years. She
said families with children from the other states consider
moving to Los Angeles twice. So there needs to be a
transformative change in the leadership of LAUSD. She said that
the current leader of the Los Angeles UnifiedSchool District can do
a lot but with only by himself, these changes may not be
enough.
She added that talented teachers from other countries should be
recruited to teach maths and science. Another
way she said was that distance learning which could enhance
learning of the school children if only properly
monitored.
The next luncheon forum will be on the 29th of January with FBI
Assistant Director in Charge Salvador
Hernandez with the topic of Transforming the FBI: Investigative
Agency to Intelligence-Driven Organization
