And to oppose vouchers is to oppose opportunities for students of color.</i><p></p><p>Total crock.</p><p>The reason this canard is so pernicious is simple: It's not true, and in fact, the <i>opposite </i>is true. Vouchers are disproportionately distributed to white students, leading to greater overall segregation in public school districts and communities of color with substantially fewer state resources to educate students in those communities.</p><p>This is the stat that voucher proponents love to quote, and it's what Greg Lawson (a guy I actually like personally, despite our profound policy differences on this and nearly <i>every </i>issue) from the Buckeye Institute articulated in the Dispatch story yesterday:</p><p></p><blockquote><p><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">"Greg Lawson of the Buckeye Institute said the data on who takes vouchers varies from school to school, but overall more minority students use EdChoice.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">Ohio is about 82% white, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. But 50% of the students who take an EdChoice scholarship identify as white or non-Hispanic, according to the Ohio Department of Education.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">'The choice is there for everybody regardless of what demographic box they check,' Lawson said."</span></p></blockquote><p>What Greg and others "forget" is that EdChoice doesn't apply to every school district in the state. In fact, according to data from last school <a href="; target="_blank">year</a>, only 164 of Ohio's 613 school districts lost any state funding to the EdChoice Voucher transfer last year -- a $164 million deduction from districts' state aid. However, 95% of that funding came from just 38 school districts. Want to take a gander at the demographic makeup of those 38 districts? You guessed it. Overwhelmingly non-white. How overwhelmingly?&nbsp;</p><p>Try 68% non-white.</p><p>Sounds a whole lot different from the 82% white stat Greg mentioned, doesn't it? In fact, of those 38 districts, only Wilmington was close to the 82% white stat.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Why would he try to repeat the 82% stat when only 1 district in the entire state that loses substantial state aid to EdChoice fits that description?</p><p>Because if only 50% of the voucher recipients are non-white, yet the communities from which the students come are almost 70% non-white, it kinda kills the whole "giving people of color an opportunity" argument.</p><p>Yeah.</p><p>The <a href="; target="_blank">lawsuit </a>addresses this nicely by looking at community and school makeups. However, another way to look at it is at test takers because that's the only demographic data we have readily available for voucher recipients. As the Cincinnati Enquirer <a href="; target="_blank">reported</a> a couple years ago, so many voucher recipients were never in the public schools to begin with that large-scale demographic breakdowns are next to impossible.</p><p>Here's what we do know. In <a href="; target="_blank">Lima</a>, about 35% of students in the public school are white. Yet there are 5 private schools taking EdChoice vouchers from Lima -- all taking at least $242,000 or more from Lima City Schools' state aid. Here are their proportion of white EdChoice recipients:&nbsp;</p><p></p><blockquote><p>Temple Christian<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp; &nbsp; <span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span>100% White</span></p><p><span>Lima Central Catholic<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp; &nbsp; 71% White</span></span></p><p><span><span>St. Charles<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp; &nbsp;82% White</span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span>St. Gerard<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp; &nbsp; 80% White</span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span><span><span>St. Rose<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp; &nbsp; 34% White</span></span></span></span></span></p></blockquote><p>Again, this demonstrates pretty clearly that vouchers, rather than granting students of color greater opportunities, instead are granting white students greater opportunities to leave their more racially integrated public schools and attend a more racially segregated private school option. And in the meantime, it's leaving districts with substantial majorities of non-white students with less state revenue with which to educate them.</p><p>Sounds like the program actually results in a <i>bad </i>overall outcome for communities of color, doesn't it?&nbsp;</p><p><b><i>(Notice how voucher proponents never&nbsp;discuss the impact of their program on students who <u>don't </u>participate in it. I digress.)</i></b></p><p>This is not just a recent phenomenon, either. In 2002, Policy Matters Ohio looked at the Cleveland Voucher <a href="; target="_blank">program</a>, which at the time was the only voucher program in the state and served as the model for the 2005 creation of the EdChoice voucher. What did they find?</p><blockquote><p><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">"Students in the voucher program, in addition to being more likely to come from private schools or from higher-performing public schools, are <u><i><b>less likely to be African-American than students in the district at large. Just 53 percent of Cleveland voucher students were African-American in this school year, while 71 percent of Cleveland Municipal School District students last year were African American</b></i></u>, according to a separate analysis by Catalyst and the Northern Ohio Data and Information Service at Cleveland State University’s Levin College of Urban Affairs."</span></p></blockquote><p>Seems that for more than 20 years now, legislators have known that vouchers are disproportionately going to white students, yet they have done nothing to address this.&nbsp;</p><p>Someone might want to ask them about that.</p><p>Oh yeah. One more thing. It was interesting to read that not even the outrageously histrionic Aaron Baer mentioned in the Dispatch the whole original argument for the voucher program to begin with: it provides <i>better</i>&nbsp;options for kids in "failing" public schools.&nbsp;</p><p>That's because we now know, thanks to more than a decade of comparative testing, that vouchers actually <i>harm</i>&nbsp;student achievement.</p><p>Even the Fordham Institute -- an avowed voucher proponent -- agreed in 2016 when it found that vouchers actually reduced student <a href="; target="_blank">achievement</a>. This was affirmed in 2020 when the Cincinnati Enquirer looked at test scores of voucher recipients and compared those scores with scores of students in the communities in which the private school resided. The paper found that 88% of the time, the public school students outperformed the private school students.</p><p>To voucher proponents now what matters now is the choice, not the outcomes from that choice apparently.</p><p>So let me bottom line this program: it leads to more racial segregation, deprives communities of color much needed state educational aid and provides less successful student outcomes.&nbsp;</p><p>But hey, let's throw hundreds of millions more of our tax dollars at this <a href="; target="_blank">thing</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Maybe that'll help.</p><p>Or...maybe someone ought to sue.</p><p></p>2022/01/voucher-lawsuit-filed-voucher.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Stephen Dyer)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551107269143653766.post-2788690193358925622Wed, 28 Apr 2021 18:25:00 +00002021-04-28T14:25:28.196-04:00Desperate Times Call for Desperate Arguments, or How To Avoid Investing in Students<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="; style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="213" src="; width="320" /></a></div><br />The Ohio House of Representatives included the Fair School Funding Plan (FSFP) in its version of the state's biennial budget last <a href=";. And already State Senators are pooh-poohing the work of the House Speaker and others -- work that took nearly 5 years to complete.&nbsp;<p></p><p>Why you'd rip apart the life's work of a House Speaker of your own political party, I have no idea. But let's move on.</p><p>There seems to be a common argument being made against the Fair School Funding Plan -- an argument that I thought I'd debunk for you here, Dear Reader.</p><p>It goes something like this: The FSFP bases its annual teacher salary -- the largest cost driver of the formula -- on old data. Therefore, when it's calculated in later years, the salaries will skyrocket. Therefore, the formula will cost double, triple, no infinitely more! than the current $1.8 billion plus price tag.</p><p>This is utter nonsense.</p><p>Between the 2005-2006 school year and this past one, teacher salaries have increased at about 1/3 the rate of inflation, not the huge percentages some in the Senate claim.</p><p>And while, yes, additional federal and state money from the American Recovery Plan and the FSFP, respectively, may lead to salary increases, they'll also lead to more teachers being hired, which tends to be at lower salary grades.&nbsp;</p><p>One more thing. The FSFP does not include in its average salary calculation any salaries over $95,000 a year. So let's say half the districts in the state decide to pay their teachers $1 million a year. Not a single one of those salaries will be included in the teacher salary calculation used by the FSFP.&nbsp;</p><p>Not. A. One.</p><p>This is a bogus argument meant to stymie the first real hope in over a decade of finally fixing the state's school funding system -- a system that remains unconstitutionally over reliant on property taxes. We're currently at the highest level of local property tax reliance since 1985.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="476" data-original-width="775" src="; width="320" /></a></div>I think what's at play here is very simple: State Senators have been used to underfunding education for so long that when you suggest that (gulp) state aid should actually track with student need, they blanche.&nbsp;<p></p><p>"Can't you spend what you did 25 years ago and get better results?" they ask. Because that's essentially what they've done and demanded for the last quarter century.<br />.</p><p>The FSFP actually says, "Let's get the money necessary to meet kids' needs today and into the future."</p><p>But State Senators don't know how to cope with that. You know. Providing the money that's needed. They just want to provide the money <i>they</i>&nbsp;think kids deserve. Because that's what they've always done.</p><p>I'm thrilled the Ohio House decided to break that three-decade-long cycle.</p><p>Now let's work on the State Senate to get them to see the light too.

The previous record was $955 million from the 2015-2016 school year -- the high-point of the ECOT years.<p></p><p>Despite this massive recent increase (an extraordinary $111 million jump ...&nbsp;<i>over two years</i>), it's not because we've had more students attending charters than ever.&nbsp;</p><p>No. That record remains the 2013-2014 school year when 122,130 students attended charters.&nbsp;</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="; style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="339" data-original-width="611" height="223" src="; width="400" /></a></div><br />It's because Ohio politicians have continued bumping up the per pupil amounts flowing to charters. So now kids in Ohio charters, on average, get nearly $8,500 per pupil in state aid -- about double what that same kid would receive in a local public school.<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="; style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="391" data-original-width="650" height="240" src="; width="400" /></a></div>As I've recounted for more than a decade, because of the way we fund charters, that means that local property taxes have to subsidize charter school <a href="; target="_blank">kids</a>.<div><br /></div><div>It doesn't take a Ph.D. in Rocket Science to understand that if you're removing $8,500 in state aid from a district for a kid the district was only getting about half of that from the state to educate that the difference has to come from somewhere.</div><div><br /></div><div>This year, that subsidy is slated to be $148 million. And in some districts, it's really high. Like in Columbus where $62 million in local revenue has to subsidize the state funding deduction for charters.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>As an aside, this local subsidy problem could be fixed with House Bill 1, which would directly fund charters and vouchers, among other great <a href="; target="_blank">things</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, don't be shocked when you start hearing charter school proponents talk during this budget cycle about charter funding "equity".&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>By the way, "equity" in this sense means <i>equality</i>, not the equity you and I think about -- like making sure kids from disparate backgrounds and challenges receive the additional supports they need to succeed. No. When charter folks say "equity", they mean the state should pay charters what districts get from state <i>and</i>&nbsp;local revenue.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Just keeping it real.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, the data demonstrates pretty clearly that charter schools have plenty of money right now to educate their kids. Why? Because they don't have to adhere to 150 plus state regulations, pay for buses and pay their teachers 40% less, on average, than districts with leaner benefits.</div><div><br /></div><div>So you don't have to spend nearly as much in a charter as you do a district.</div><div><br /></div><div>Want proof?</div><div><br /></div><div>Let's look at the state's annual expenditure <a href=" /></div><div>Last year, here's what the average charter and district spent per pupil in six categories: Overall, Instruction, Pupil Support, Staff Support, Operation Support (buildings and buses) and Administration.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="; style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="105" data-original-width="867" height="49" src="; width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Interesting, isn't it? Charters, overall, only spend about $386 less than a school district, even though school districts raise local revenues. Something even more amazing? If you had charters spend what districts did on administration, they could spend what districts do on instruction and pupil support, <i>and have $397 remaining! </i>Which means they could actually spend what districts do in every category but operation support -- not a major issue because charters don't bus many, if any, kids.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If only charters spent the same 14% of their revenue on non-instructional administrative costs rather than the 24% they currently spend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I ask you, dear reader, do you think that charter schools need more money? Or more <i>efficiency?&nbsp;</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hmmm.

Rick Carfagna</td></tr> </tbody></table> Apparently, one of the leading <a href="; to come out of the Larry <a href="; collapse amid the state's largest ever, $60 million public bribery scandal is Robert Cupp. Yes THAT Robert Cupp -- the Cupp in the Cupp-Patterson school funding <a href=" /> <br /> While I had some reservations about the <a href="; -- namely its equity and some basic calculations -- it is undoubtedly the best school funding plan to come around in over a decade and would put us in a much better school funding place than we are today.<br /> <br /> The plan had significant legislative support, but never from Householder, who was (correctly) concerned about the plan's equity.<br /> <br /> So does this mean the Cupp-Patterson could soon rise from the ashes if Cupp is sitting in the Lincoln Chair?<br /> <br /> Before you get too excited, Cupp isn't the only rumored name out there. Another is State Rep. Rick Carfagna. I don't know what he knows about K-12 funding, but I worked with him on the state's higher education budget last cycle, and I came away impressed.<br /> <br /> He listens.<br /> <br /> He learns.<br /> <br /> He spent several meetings trying to educate the higher education subcommittee on finance (which he chairs) about how higher education funding works -- not an easy task.<br /> <br /> While he wouldn't have the instant, deep knowledge of school funding that Cupp does (the state's district profile report that outlines data for every school district in the state bears his name), I'm sure Carfagna would be willing to listen to the school funding needs of this state.<br /> <br /> Just not sure it would happen this year.<br /> <br /> As for Cupp, his choice would be very interesting. If he's picked, one way the House could begin to&nbsp; put the Householder mess behind them is to pass the Cupp-Patterson education reform plan. Do something Householder was opposed to (for the right reasons, I might add, but still...) while doing something big and bold for kids and families.<br /> <br /> It would certainly change the topic.<br /> <br /> The plan's fate in the Senate is less certain.<br /> <br /> But passing the Cupp Patterson plan through the House (it's already had tons of hearings) would be a major step forward for education funding in this state. And who better to push it through than one of the plan's namesakes?<br /> <br /> Oh yeah. There's one final complication.<br /> <br /> Cupp took $24,000 from First Energy.<br /> <br /> Carfagna?<br /> <br /> $0.2020/07/next-speaker-could-be-author-of-new.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Stephen Dyer)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551107269143653766.post-9092030182536939983Wed, 22 Jul 2020 17:05:00 +00002020-07-22T13:29:28.938-04:00Larry HouseholderLarry Householder is as corrupt as the day is long. But on Education Policy, he fought the good fight.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="299" height="224" src="; width="400" /></a></div> <br /> Look, we all knew what we were getting into with Larry Householder's return to the statehouse, which effectively ended yesterday when he was arrested by the FBI as the ringleader of a $60 million bribery <a href=" /> <br /> He had already left the speakership under a cloud of suspicion in <a href=";. And around Capital Square, it was pretty much assumed -- only partially in jest -- that if you wanted to get anything done, it had to be quick because his dalliances with corruption were sure to draw law enforcement attention.<br /> <br /> No more was this felt than in my sector -- Education Policy.<br /> <br /> Larry Householder has long been an advocate for fixing our state's broken education funding system, though (importantly) he never got it done. He has stood up for funding of poor kids and black and brown kids. He has been a voucher <a href=" called for the end of for-profit charter schools.<br /> <br /> Yet he took tons of money from <a href=" a for-profit school involved in a $200 million&nbsp;<a href="; that still dwarfs Householder's caper, by the way.<br /> <br /> But it is on school funding that Householder really wanted to leave a mark. It's often told that he claimed it would take a "Perry County Speaker" to fix the problem first addressed by a Perry County judge in the <i>DeRolph </i>case in <a href=" /> <br /> He was the one resisting the Cupp-Patterson education funding plan, even though an overwhelming majority of legislators were for it, because he thought it didn't do enough for kids in poor districts -- a sentiment I shared.<br /> <br /> He's also the one who kept the voucher expansion plan championed by state Sen. Matt Huffman from going through and insisted on direct funding of all vouchers so it wouldn't come directly out of school districts' bottom lines.<br /> <br /> He didn't like Ohio's overtesting of kids, nor was he a fan of the state report card. He even publicly called out its bias against poor kids and black and brown kids. In fact, he said the reason people flipped out over the voucher expansion was because wealthy suburban schools were suddenly facing the issues that poor and black and brown districts have been facing for years.<br /> <br /> Yes, he had a fondness for ECOT (and founder Bill Lager's campaign money). And that was a problem. But he <a href="; called for the end of for-profit charter school operators, like Lager.<br /> <br /> On education policy, Larry Householder was one of the few Republican lawmakers I've witnessed who not only <i>got</i>&nbsp;school funding, but wanted to do something real to fix it and had the power to do so.<br /> <br /> But wow. Was he corrupt.<br /> <br /> He's getting what he richly deserves. But I guess what I'll always think about Larry Householder -- whose prodigious political talent was eclipsed apparently only by his insatiable appetite for money and power -- is what a waste.<br /> <br /> He could have fixed school funding.<br /> <br /> He could have instituted a better, more reasonable testing and accountability system.<br /> <br /> He could have brought sanity to our out-of-control voucher problem.<br /> <br /> He could have eliminated the for-profit charter school operators who have ripped off taxpayers for three decades.<br /> <br /> He could have done so many good things for schools, kids and parents. Instead, he preferred shaking down companies to maintain power.<br /> <br /> It's a sad day for Ohio. But I'll think of Larry Householder's fall as another unfortunate and significant step backward in our state's four-decade-long struggle with school funding.<br /> <br /> It's up to us to chart a new path forward. Hopefully with legislators who, like Householder, <i>get </i>school funding, but without the voraciously corrupt appetites.2020/07/larry-householder-is-as-corrupt-as-day.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Stephen Dyer)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551107269143653766.post-6382170246713708146Mon, 20 Jul 2020 15:29:00 +00002020-07-20T11:29:17.821-04:00CARES ActCharter SchoolsCOVID-19Ohio Charter Schools get More Per Pupil Federal COVID Relief Money than Many School Districts Received in State Aid. What Gives?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="266" src="; width="400" /></a></div> <br /> Included in the $2.3 trillion CARES Act passed in March to cope with the COVID-19 crisis was something called the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund, or ESSER. This fund set aside $13.2 billion for K-12 schools to cope with the new normal in preparing education spaces for COVID-19. Things like enhanced cleaning, or preparing online learning material, or maximizing spaces to ensure social distancing for potential return to school were the expenses contemplated for this money.<br /> <br /> Every school qualified, including charter schools, for this money, some of which was passed out again last <a href=";. The money was and is essential to maintain public education through this crisis.<br /> <br /> However, <b><u>only charter schools </u></b>would qualify for another program included in the CARES Act – the $669 billion Payroll Protection Program (PPP) -- a fund meant to keep small businesses and non-profits afloat during the economic shutdown. Public entities like school districts and local governments did <i>not </i>qualify for the program, which has been essential to keeping businesses from collapsing.<br /> <br /> But charter schools, which are organized as 501c3 non-profits, <i>did </i>qualify.<br /> <br /> So did their sponsoring organizations.<br /> <br /> So did their management companies.<br /> <br /> All tolled, a charter school could receive federal money four ways:<br /> <br /> <ol> <li>Through ESSER, just like every school district in the country</li> <li>Directly to the school through the PPP</li> <li>Indirectly through their sponsoring organization through the PPP</li> <li>Indirectly through their management company (which could be non-profit or for-profit) through the PPP</li> </ol> <br /> This resulted in the typical Ohio charter school receiving as much as $817 in total federal CARES Act funding while the typical Ohio public school district only received $150.<br /> <br /> <b><u>That’s more than 5.4 times as much</u></b>.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="; imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="575" data-original-width="960" height="238" src="; width="400" /></a></div> <b><u>In fact, many charters received more per pupil federal aid through CARES Act funding than many public school districts received last year in&nbsp;state&nbsp;aid!</u></b><br /> <br /> When schools that educate 90 percent of your children get 5.4 times less federal revenue to stay afloat than schools that educate 6 percent of your children, perhaps it's time to examine that federal revenue stream's equity.<br /> <br /> Perhaps most outrageous is this result:&nbsp;<b><u>Children in nearly 1 in 10 charters each received as much federal aid through the CARES Act as children in Columbus – Ohio’s largest school district – received in state aid this year!</u></b><br /> <br /> There are other shocking incongruities. In no particular order:<br /> <br /> <ul> <li>Charter Schools received as much as $82.3 million in PPP funding either directly or indirectly. They only received $55 million in ESSER funding.</li> <li>Of the bottom half of all districts and charters in per pupil CARES Act funding, only 9 were charters; 444 were districts.&nbsp;</li> <li>Meanwhile, 97 percent of Ohio charter schools were in the top half of total federal per pupil aid.</li> <li>The top 98 per pupil federal revenue recipients were all charter schools, representing more than 1 in 3 Ohio charter schools.</li> <li>Children in 2 of 3 Ohio school districts got less per pupil federal aid than children in the charter with the lowest total federal aid.&nbsp;</li> <li>Meanwhile, children in 116 charter schools got as much as $1,000 (or more) each in federal aid. Children in only 3 districts did (Bloomfield-Mespo in Trumbull County, Youngstown and East Cleveland -- the last two of which are state takeover districts).&nbsp;</li> <li>One charter school (SMART Academy) got as much as $26,000 per pupil in federal money.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <br /> Not every charter school quadruple dipped. But some did. Here’s how it worked in some cases.<br /> <br /> <b>The Academy of Urban Scholars in Columbus</b><br /> <br /> <ul> <li>$108,961 through the ESSER aid that was available through the CARES Act to all Ohio schools.&nbsp;</li> <li>As much as $700,000 in direct aid from the PPP.&nbsp;</li> <li>Sponsored by the Buckeye Community Hope Foundation, which received as much as $1 million in PPP funding, the relative share of which is $22,265.&nbsp;</li> <li>They are run by the National Center for Urban Solutions, which received as much as $350,000 in PPP funding -- $213,195 of which would have gone to the Academy.</li> <li>That’s more than as much as $1.04 million in federal CARES Act funding for the school, which has 305 students, which works out to as much as $3,424 per pupil – <b><u>about the same amount as each student received in state aid last year in Putnam County’s Ottawa-Glandorf Local School District</u></b>.</li> </ul> <br /> There is even one charter school that quintuple dipped.<br /> <br /> <b>Village Preparatory School Woodland Hills</b><br /> <br /> <ul> <li>This school received $501,215 through the ESSER aid</li> <li>They received as much as $1 million in direct PPP funding</li> <li>Village Prep Woodland Hills was sponsored by the Buckeye Community Hope Foundation. Village Prep’s share of the up to $1 million Buckeye received from the PPP would be as much as $35,989.</li> <li>Village Prep is run by the Breakthrough Schools, which received as much as $1 million in PPP funding. However, Breakthrough also has a fundraising arm called the Friends of Breakthrough Schools, which received as much as $350,000 from the PPP program. Village Prep’s share of the $1.35 million total between the operator and its fundraising operation would be as much as $234,668</li> <li>Village Prep Woodland Hills received as much as $1.77 million in federal aid for its 493 students – as much as $3,594 per student, or <b><u>almost the exact amount of state aid each student received in Tuscarawas County’s Garaway Local School District this year</u></b>.</li> </ul> <br /> Others only triple dipped, but did so at large amounts.<br /> <br /> <b>KIPP Columbus</b><br /> <br /> <ul> <li>The school received $1,081,480 in ESSER funding available to all schools</li> <li>The school also received as much as $5 million in direct PPP funding</li> <li>KIPP is sponsored by the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, which received as much as $1 million in PPP funding, with KIPP’s proportionate share being as much as $256,987 of that</li> <li>So for KIPP’s 1,373 students, it was able to draw down $6.4 million in federal CARES Act funding. <b><u>That’s $4,638 per student, or as much as $1,379 more than what every student in Columbus received this year in state aid</u></b>.</li> </ul> <br /> No school district could double, triple, quadruple or quintuple dip into federal revenue streams to help its students deal with the COVID-19 crisis.<br /> <br /> But charter schools could, and many did.<br /> <br /> It is unfair that charter schools – which have for years insisted they are “public schools” – be granted more opportunities to access federal funding than the schools that educate 90 percent of our children simply because of their corporate structure.<br /> <br /> And this shows once again how Ohio charter schools are not really “public schools”.<br /> <br /> W

The extension was created by Jake Goldman, Founder of 10up and now a Partner and advisor under our new brand, Fueled. What began as a personal side project to solve a long-standing frustration grew through contributions from the WordPress community, including members of the Fueled team, before becoming an official WordPress project.

We’re proud to share that 15 Fueled team members are credited with contributions to the 6.9 release, with 4 recognized as Noteworthy Contributors: myself (VP of Open Source Initiatives), Director of Editorial Engineering Fabian Kaegy, Lead Engineer Peter Wilson, and Senior Engineer Mukesh Panchal. Our 10up WordPress Practice continues to shape the features that matter most to modern content teams and organizations. A Focus on Collaboration Begins: “Notes” The most impactful new user-facing feature in WordPress 6.9, especially for teams collaborating on content operations, is Notes: a commenting system for the WordPress editor. Fueled led the project management and contributed to the engineering work on this feature. Notes brings native, in-context communication to the content editing experience. Editors and stakeholders can now leave comments directly within the editor, enabling asynchronous feedback and approvals without leaving the CMS or relying on disconnected tools.

For the teams that trust us to maintain their sites, those risks are unacceptable. Our SiteWatch program delivers proactive, premium maintenance for WordPress-powered sites. Every update passes through version control, peer review, and structured QA. This process ensures reliability at scale.

This achievement comes after a year-long initiative in partnership with WooCommerce and Equalize Digital, bringing WooCommerce Core into compliance ahead of new regulations like the European Accessibility Act (EAA). The result is a more inclusive shopping experience and a WooCommerce Core that meets modern accessibility standards. Ahead of the EAA deadline in June 2025, WooCommerce engaged us to spearhead the remediation of a WCAG 2.2 compliance audit, working hand-in-hand with WooCommerce’s core development team to implement fixes across virtually every part of the plugin. Over a year, contributions from WooCommerce, Equalize Digital, and Fueled’s WordPress specialists were coordinated to methodically resolve issues in both the classic and block-based interfaces.

As our codebases grew, we realized that sharing lower level updates and improvements across projects could be easier. To solve this, we introduced a new Composer package called WP Framework at the start of the year, which we have subsequently open sourced. By moving the common scaffold logic into WP Framework, our project starter becomes leaner and more maintainable, while every project still benefits from shared upgrades over time. Key benefits of WP Framework include: Leaner Projects: The scaffold now pulls in shared functionality from WP Framework, so each project only includes the code it needs. This means less duplicated code and a slimmer starting point. Centralized Updates: We can improve, fix, or extend features in one place. When WP Framework updates, all projects can get the changes through Composer without manual edits. Standardized Best Practices: WP Framework embeds the best practices we’ve learned into a single package, keeping the foundation consistent across projects. Teams still work with familiar patterns, but with a simpler codebase. Stable & Flexible: WP Framework uses strict Semantic Versioning. That ensures bug fixes and new features won’t break existing sites unexpectedly. At the same time, teams can still override or extend parts of the framework for custom needs. For the more technically minded, I’ve published a more detailed deep dive into how and why we built WP Framework over on LinkedIn. ]]> /blog/2025/wp-framework-wordpress/feed/ 0 From the Fueled Blog: How We Sped Up WordPress and the Open Web /blog/2025/wordpress-performance-sped-up-open-web/ /blog/2025/wordpress-performance-sped-up-open-web/#respond Fri, 11 Jul 2025 17:15:37 +0000 /?p=35292 WordPress powers over 40% of websites. When its core gets faster, the larger internet benefits. That’s the ambition behind the WordPress Performance Team: a cross-company initiative focused on improving speed, efficiency, and thus user experience across all WordPress sites. At Fueled, our 10up WordPress Practice has been part of this effort from the start, helping institute improvements that are now baked into WordPress core. From how scripts and images are handled to how WordPress loads configuration data, our work has made the platform faster out of the box, and made millions of websites deliver better digital experiences.

The solution was a custom animation system that simulates 3D using optimized image sequences, built leveraging WebP image formats, Motion.js, and Intersection Observer techniques. The final product offers smooth, high-quality animation that works reliably across devices and browsers. Packaged within a custom Gutenberg block, editors can easily select from multiple 3D objects, customize styles with blend modes, and see a preview directly inside the WordPress editor. I’ve published a deep dive article breaking down the path to the final product—from early experiments with videos and sprite sheets to lightweight image sequences and smart rendering logic to our approach to the custom WordPress editor block.

Their internal team had been working with React, but was hitting performance ceilings—especially when it came to JavaScript execution and time to interactive. While React and Next.js remained options, they were open to exploring newer frameworks that might better support their long-term goals. In a new LinkedIn Pulse article, I share how we evaluated several alternatives—including Solid, Svelte, and even lightweight templating engines—before ultimately recommending Qwik. I also break down what makes Qwik’s resumability model unique, and why it offered the right mix of performance and developer onboarding in this particular case. “This wasn’t about finding a silver bullet. It was about staying curious, testing assumptions, and identifying the right fit for the real-world constraints of the project.” Read the full story on LinkedIn for a technical deep dive into our evaluation, the trade-offs, and the rationale behind our decision.

Desta vez, o tema foi focado nas sprint retroespectives e sprint reviews. Foram mencionadas durante o episódio: Ferramentas de quadros virtuais interactivos: MiroMetro RetroIdeaBoardz Dinâmicas para sprint retrospectives: Thumbs up/ Thumbs downSpeed carProud & Sorry Ideas de dinâmicas para sprint retrospectives: FunRetrospectivesRetrospective Techniques for Coaches Sobre a mudança de carreira da Sara [00:01:28] A Sara começou por falar sobre o seu percurso profissional – já trabalhava como assistente social quando foi tirar o curso de Engenharia Informática no ISEP. Facilitar retrospectivas remotamente [00:09:30] Tanto a Ana como a Sara gostam muito de retrospectivas, e explicam porquê.A Sara juntou-se à equipa da Kununu durante o confinamento. Falámos sobre como foi começar a facilitar retrospectivas remotamente, sem conhecer ninguém pessoalmente. “O grande desafio de estarmos remotamente é ganhar a confiança das pessoas.” A Sara descreve-as como “um momento intimo”, e que é necessário estar à vontade para falar de tudo. Revela ainda o segredo para boas retroespectivas: ter a confinaça das pessoas. Criar momentos para conversas informais e para jogos são técnicas que a Sara tem usado para ajudar equipas a conhecerem-se melhor, especialmente para as pessoas nunca trabalharam juntas pessoalmente. Estes momentos vão também fomentar o à vontade e a confiança entre os membros da equipa. “Water cooler” chats [00:13:50] Pela experiência da Sara, os momentos predefinidos de virtual “water cooler” chat funcionam bem no início, mas com o passar do tempo as pessoas podem ficar cansadas e deixar de querer participar. A escolha de dinâmicas [00:16:15] Quisemos saber como é que a Sara escolhe as dinâmicas para as suas retros. A Sara explicou que a dinâmica deve depender do que está a acontecer. Se há uma mudança na equipa, por exemplo, alguém novo, é importante perceber o impacto dessa mudança através da forma como as pessoas se sentem. E as retrospectivas são o contexto ideal para se falar sobre isso. As ferramentas para retrospectivas virtuais [00:17:20] Mencionámos algumas das novas ferramentas que usamos nas retrospectivas. A Sara aconselha o Miro e o Metro Retro. Este último tem templates pré-feitos, o que pode ser interessante se não tivermos muito tempo para preparar a sessão. No início de cada sessão, a Sara costuma fazer um warm-up/quebra-gelo para as pessoas ficaram mais animadas. Também podem ser as equipas a facilitarem as retrospectivas [00:21:32] A Ana fala sobre a experiência das retrospetivas na sua equipa. Como não tem Agile Coach, cada membro da equipa é responsável por facilitar uma sessão, de 2 em 2 semanas. O site funretroespectives tem várias dinâmicas e pode ser uma boa fonte de inspiração. Tempo de preparação [00:23:18] Desde escolher a dinâmica, a escolher a ferramenta, o template, e editá-lo para ficar adaptado à equipa e ao objetivo… Pelo menos 30 minutos, 1 hora. E ainda mais uns bons minutos para preparar o exercício de warm-up, que a Sara faz questão de ser sempre diferente de sessão para sessão. Conversar sobre o que preocupa a equipa e criar ações [00:25:35] Tentámos perceber se a Sara costuma planear cada retrospectiva com algum objetivo/outcome em mente. Perceber o que preocupa a equipa, e conversar sobre como minimizar essas preocupações devem ser o foco da sessão. [00:26:35] As conversas devem culminar na criação de ações que possam ser implementadas com o objetivo de mitigar as preocupações. As ações podem ser atribuídas a indivíduos ou a toda a equipa. A Sara dá alguns exemplos. A revisão das ações deve ser feita com alguma frequência. Gerir a frustação e desmotivação [00:32:01] Falámos sobre a importância de cumprir o horário da reunião. Deve ser uma sessão muito focada, visto que é uma cerimónia que pode gerar aborrecimento ou frustrutação se não houver tempo para falar sobre o mais importante. Isso faz com que as pessoas fiquem cansadas e desmotivadas. Como facilitadora, a Sara é também gestora de tempo. Às vezes é preciso cortar a palavra para manter a sessão focada. Retros sobre projetos [00:37:47] As retros em relação a projetos que envolvem diferentes equipas são úteis para tirar lições e aprendizagens para projetos seguintes. Pode ser criada uma timeline com momentos chave, e em cada momento é discutido o que correu bem e o que correu mal. Também faz sentido fazer retros noutros departamentos sem ser tech.E ainda retros em guilds / grupos de interesse (ex: backend, QA, performance,…). [00:40:21] Dica para retros que envolvem um grande número de pessoas: pedir tópicos antecipadamente, e fazer uma votação. Começar a discussão pelos mais votados, pois serão esses os assuntos mais importantes. Sprint reviews [00:41:29] De uma forma muito simplista, as sprint reviews consistem em demos aos stakeholders no final de cada sprint. Pela experiência da Sara, nas equipas em que existe um representante dos stakeholders – geralmente o product owner -, o feedback é dado por ele durante o sprint, não havendo necessidade de esperar 2 semanas. [00:43:32] Na Kununu, não existem sprint reviews. Mas existe uma sessão semanal em que as pessoas se podem inscrever para demonstrar uma funcionalidade ou ideia. Esta sessão é pública e aberta a toda a empresa. Audiência passiva em video-chamadas [00:51:36] Concordámos que as reuniões com audiência passiva, sem feedback, são difícies e podem mesmo vir a ser constrangedor para o orador/facilitador. Pode ser necessário apelar à apresentação da audiência. A câmara ligada pode ajudar a receber feedback. Manter a câmara ligada nas retrospetivas é fundamental. [00:56:02] O Vítor partilha que regra geral a câmara está ligada em todas as comunicações, dentro e fora da equipa. Em chamadas com clientes, usa a câmara ligada, pelo menos no início, para sensibilizar/encorajar os clientes para usar câmara também. A nossa linguagem verbal representa apenas cerca de 10% da nossa comunicação.

O post Programa 42 – Cerimónias Scrum Remotas aparece primeiro no 10web. ]]> (download) Neste episódio a Ana Sampaio e o Vítor Silva falaram sobre Cerimónias Scrum remotas. Um tema mais relevante nos dias de hoje em que cada vez mais empresas têm equipas distribuídas. Tamanho ideal das Equipas [00:11:00] Ainda antes de entrarmos no tema falamos um pouco sobre o tamanho ideal das equipas e recuperamos o episódio com Martin Fromm. Nesse episódio ele partilhou também a sua opinião de que gosta de equipas pequenas, podem ouvir mais na série que realizamos sobre Web Agencies. Este modelo de equipa multi-disciplinares ou “cross-functional” é algo muito em voga como por exemplo o modelo de Squads do Spotify. Sprints? De quando a quando? [00:14:45] Um tema habitual nos sprints é perceber qual o tamanho máximo… uma semana ou duas? ou um mês. Mas na nossa conversa falamos mais da nossa experiência relativamente a de quando a quando dura o sprint. Ou seja, não tem de ser de segunda a sexta e se calhar até é interessante ser de quarta a terça como a Ana partilhou ou de quinta a quarta como o Vitor referiu. De qualquer forma uma certeza existe. Não há deploys à sexta-feira! Cerimónias Scrum: Daily Stand-up [00:18:00] Começamos pelo stand-up diário e como cada um de nós o aborda. A Ana partilhou a ideia de cada um dos participantes ter de indicar quem é o seguinte. Ainda relativamente ao Stand-up, o Vítor partilhou também como aproveitou este conceito não só para ter uma reunião de inicio de dia mas para realizar outra de final de dia mais de balanço e com uma vertente mais social também incluída. Cerimónias Scrum: Refinement [00:21:50] Relativamente ao refinement, cerimónia onde as User Stories são analisadas pela equipa de forma a validar que incluem toda a informação para serem executadas. Foi referido pela Ana a importância desta cerimónia no sentido de promover a partilha de informação entre a equipa. Na medida em que cada membro da equipa tem de, primeiro analisar a tarefa, e depois explica-la também à equipa. Isso reduz a possibilidade de existência de silos de informação bem como leva a que as tarefas fiquem melhor documentadas. Cerimónias Scrum: Sprint Planning [00:35:00] O Sprint planning, realizado no inicio do Sprint é um pouco o retomar do refinement, mas já orientado para o sprint em questão. Esta cerimónia inclui, entre outras tarefas, um processo pontuação de tarefas, ou algum tipo de métricas que permita escolher o caminho a seguir nessa semana. Cerimónias Scrum em projetos pequenos [00:36:00] Durante esta conversa o foi vai partilhando a sua experiência trabalhando com equipas pequenas onde, por vezes, um projeto dura menos de uma semana, é executado só por uma pessoa, sendo também realizado para um cliente externo. Um desafio diferente de uma equipa de desenvolvimento que trabalha para um produto. Esperamos que gostem deste episódio e contamos continuar com este percurso elas Cerimónias Scrum brevemente.

O post Programa 41 – Processos de onboarding nas empresas aparece primeiro no 10web. ]]> (download) Neste episódio falámos com os nossos convidados Carlos Silva, CTO na Bind, e Jorge Costa, Software Engineer na Automattic, sobre as suas experiências em processos de onboarding. Episódios relacionados: Sobre a Automattic, empresa onde o Jorge Costa trabalha atualmente como Software Engineer: Programa 37 – Jorge Costa – O Editor do WordPress, React e trabalho remoto Sobre a Bind, empresa onde o Carlos Silva trabalha atualmente como CTO: Programa 29 – Beatriz Oliveira – Modern Workplaces, desenvolvimento de produto e criação de redes de parceiros O processo de onboarding começa no recrutamento [00:01:00] O Carlos explica que o um processo de onboarding começa no recrutamento e partilha como é feito o onboarding na empresa onde trabalha, a Bind. [00:04:15] Devemos começar pelo tipo de tarefas que a nova pessoa da equipa vai encontrar ou pelos objetivos e cultura da empresa? O Carlos explica porquê que, na sua opinião, é o segundo. Tarefas assinaladas como “Good first issue” [00:05:45] O Jorge conta-nos que na Automattic existem tarefas com a tag “Good first issue” ou code reviews “Good first review” para que novas pessoas tenham a oportunidade serem produtivos o mais rápido possível. Defende que existem dois processos de onboarding distintos, o onboarding numa empresa e numa equipa. Projetos bem documentados e facilidade de configurar a máquina para rapidamente ter os projetos a correr são factores muito importantes. Mencionou também a importância de um mentor. [00:10:35] A Ana partilha a sua experiência num processo de recrutamento em que teve que fazer pair-programming com uma pessoa da suposta nova equipa, e considera isso importante para facilitar o onboarding. Ter tido contacto com a equipa anteriormente ajuda a quebrar o gelo no primeiro dia. [00:12:38] O Jorge partilha que na Automattic existe uma etapa de trial no final do processo de recrutamento e antes da contratação, em que a pessoa fica à experiencia, para se perceber se o candidato é um bom match. Orientação, supervisão, acompanhamento e treino [00:15:00] A Ana cria um cenário hipotético, em que trabalhávamos todos juntos e tínhamos um novo colega a começar na próxima segunda-feira – o que faríamos? O Vitor alerta que segunda-feira pode não ser o dia mais adequeado, devido à carga de reuniões que tem. O Carlos diz que o planeamento da Bind é feito à sexta, por isso segunda-feira funciona para ele. Para o Carlos, orientação, supervisão, acompanhamento e treino são 4 pilares fundamentais. Menciona que também colocaríamos na secretaria do novo colega um “welcome gift” (por exemplo, um caderno e uma t-shirt da empresa), para além do seu computador. [00:21:07] O Jorge diz que na Automattic, quando há uma nova contratação já se assume que a pessoa conhece as tecnologias com que vai trabalhar. Na primeira semana é feito apoio ao cliente para conhecer as dificuldades dos utilizadores. Depois começam pelas tarefas mais simples. [00:24:50] A Ana descreveu o seu primeiro dia na empresa onde trabalha. Falou na importância da contribuir logo desde a primeira semana, e da motivação que isso gera. Caraterísticas de um mentor [00:30:15] Procuramos saber quais são as características de um mentor. O Carlos menciona o conhecimento sobre o produto, e conhecer bem a visão da empresa. Idealmente um mentor deve ainda saber comunicar, ensinar, ter bom conhecimento técnico.    Envolvimento do CEO no processo [00:33:30] O Carlos menciona a importância do CEO no processo de recrutamento e seleção. A estrutura 360º de uma empresa ajuda na eliminação de camadas de comunicação. Onboarding numa empresa distribuída [00:35:06] O Jorge mencionou especificidades do onboarding numa empresa distribuída como a Automattic. Um novo membro terá que ser alguém com experiência técnica e autonomia. Ter uma vida social fora do trabalho também deve fazer parte do perfil, visto que há pouca ou nenhuma interação humana numa empresa distribuída. [00:39:05] Voltando às características de um mentor, a Ana acha importante que um mentor seja alguém que tenha disponibilidade, empatia e que quer genuinamente ajudar a nova pessoa a ser bem sucedida na empresa. O Carlos acrescentou a importância de um mentor ter skills de comunicação e de passar confiança ao novo membro, para que ele não tenha receio de fazer perguntas. Coerência dos processos de onboarding numa empresa [00:42:00] Chegamos à conclusão de que há padrões que são usados nas empresas de IT, que o onboarding da empresa em si deve ser igual, independentemente do departamento, equipa ou produto em que a pessoa vai ser inserida. Já o onboarding num produto ou projeto pode ser adaptado à equipa. Quando é que o processo está terminado [00:45:21] Por fim, o Vítor desafia-nos a refletir sobre quando é que podemos dizer que o processo de onboarding está concluído, e quanto tempo é que isso demora.

O post Programa 40 – Ricardo Queirós e Filipe Portela – Ensino de Programação Web aparece primeiro no 10web. ]]> (download) Neste episódio falámos sobre Ensino de Programação Web, nomeadamente do curso de Tecnologias e Sistemas de Informação para a Web da ESMAD, com Ricardo Queirós e Filipe Portela. Os alunos em 2020 [00:02:30] Começamos por falar sobre o panorama dos alunos que entram agora na faculdade e ambos os convidados referiram que, embora possa haver diferenças na abordagem que os alunos têm, eventualmente menos maturidade, o que é mais importante é os professores perceberem quais as reais motivações desses alunos para escolherem estes cursos. Se é porque realmente gostam, porque são obrigados, porque é um curso da moda ou outro e a partir daí conseguir chegar ao aluno de uma forma mais humanizada. O Ensino de Programação Web no curso TSIW da Esmad [00:07:10] Falamos também do que é o curso de Tecnologias e Sistemas de Informação para a Web (TSIW) da ESMAD nomeadamente os ajustes que teve recentemente e onde foram incluidas novas unidades curriculares para focar temas que se estão a tornar cada vez mais atuais como Devops, Testes e Performance, bem como Inteligência Artificial. [00:11:50] De referir que estas novas cadeiras não substituem cadeiras fundamentais como algoritmia ou outras que ensinam os fundamentos de sistemas de informação. Ensino ou auto-aprendizagem [00:16:50] Uma questão cada vez mais relevante é perceber se, com tanto conteúdo online, ainda continua a ser relevante a passagem pelos cursos universitários. Quanto a isto qualquer um dos convidados referiu que, não pondo de parte aquilo que se pode atingir com auto-aprendizagem, consideram que continua a ser relevante o ensino académico da programação web, principalmente por ser um ensino estruturado e validado, algo que, a nivel de pesquisa auto-didata, pode tornar-se dificil de conseguir. [00:21:30] Para além disso a passagem pelo ensino superior pode ajudar a dar maturidade aos alunos. Filipe Portela refere que este pode ser o sitio onde os alunos aprendem e praticam as soft-skills e as características que o mercado de trabalho procura, como a autonomia ou a capacidade de trabalhar em conjunto. Soft-Skills [00:26:10] Ricardo Queirós acrescenta ainda que a realização de projetos nas aulas, a ligação às empresas, seja por estágios ou outros trabalhos realizados durante o curso, os trabalhos de grupo, todas estas diferentes interações ajudam também a trabalhar questões como empatia, saber ouvir, interpretar. Inteligência Artificial [00:35:00] Sobre o ensino de Inteligência Artificial, numa vertente mais de utilização do que já começa a estar disponível (e menos na componente científica da mesma) Filipe Portela alerta para questões associadas às decisões que a utilização deste tipo de sistemas pode implicar e como poderá ser importante transmitir ao alunos, para além da componente técnica, todo um outro conjunto de conceitos como ética, segurança, entre outros, que ajudem os alunos a por em contexto aquilo que estão a construir. Plataformas Low-Code [00:39:00] Embora já existam diferentes plataformas Low-Code que permitem construir soluções muito interessantes (como por exemplo a Outsystems), qualquer um dos convidados considera que é um tipo de solução que tem de ser enquadrada no problema que se pretende resolver. Talvez para algumas soluções específicas possa ser interessante, pela velocidade de concretização, mas é importante ter em conta que pode haver necessidade de personalização que esteja para além daquilo que a ferramenta permite e, no fim do dia, continua a ser uma ferramenta que tem de ser conhecida para ser melhor aproveitada. Diferentes Ecossistemas de Desenvolvimento [00:44:30] Num mundo de diferentes linguagens de programação, diferentes abordagens ao armazenamento de dados, diferentes paradigmas, Ricardo Queirós e Filipe Portela assumem que a escolha pelo mundo Javascript/Node tem muito a ver com o que o ambiente empresarial onde estão inseridos está a pedir, mas também com uma necessidade de escolher um caminho que permita transmitir aos alunos o máximo de competências. [00:50:11] Depois de terem iniciado com diferentes linguagens de programação (Java, C#, PHP, etc), o foco atual no Javascript no frontend e no backend, juntamente com a exploração alguma frameworks, como o Vue.Js permite aos alunos atingir melhores resultados e ao mesmo tempo dá-lhes bases para poderem posteriormente explorar outras linguagens de programação. Introdução ao Desenvolvimento Moderno para a Web Concluímos a nossa conversa falando do livro Introdução ao Desenvolvimento Moderno para a Web, escrito pelo Ricardo Queirós e pelo Filipe Portela e como ele surgiu também para servir de referência às aulas que estavam a dar. Ainda em 2020 deverá sair o 2º livro desta série e que irá tocar temas mais avançados, devendo chamar-se Desenvolvimento Avançado para a Web.
