Top Schools: Is This Really the School of the Future? | Philadelphia Magazine Articles - 0 views

  • They’ll pass through a hidden weapons-detection system and step into a wide corridor dubbed “Main Street.” They’ll swipe their “smart cards,” and a screen will display their photographs and register their attendance
  • They’ll move quickly, carrying only a small laptop from class to class and home at night (no more overloaded backpacks). Passing the administrative offices and the “interactive learning center” (read: a library without books), they’ll come to a mall-style food court, where purchases will be tracked with the same card. (No more telling Mom you had broccoli while really subsisting on Kit Kats and Snapple.)
  • In the gym, plasma-screen televisions and video cameras will bring pro-style instant-replay access to the varsity level, and outside, a futuristic anti-graffiti coating on the walls will make washing off tags easier. This technological utopia of high-density fiber-optic cable will be virtually paperless, although there will be printers on hand (just in case). And the entire building — a green building, complete with solar panels and grassy roof — is wired, powered and online.

Steeling Art for Students - 0 views

  • When art, stainless steel, and architectural statements collide, the results can be either beautiful or challenging. In the case of Central Los Angeles Area High School #9, it can be both. The high school's state-of-the-art campus—part of L.A.'s continuing Grand Avenue arts corridor renovation—plays on the school's educational emphasis on performing arts and highlights it with three 304-grade stainless steel–clad sculptural buildings.

Blogger in Middle-earth: A School of the Future? - 0 views

  • The school will have classrooms, workshops, laboratories, a library, recreational areas and halls as fit the needs of its composition. If at all possible, it will have a roll of about 550 learners.
  • Allocation of classes should aim at an optimum size of 24 learners and a ceiling of 28, with some flexibility within reason.

The Future of Education in America (News Analysis). Category: Page One from The Berkele... - 0 views

  • Assessment and comparison of teachers’ ability to educate, based on student test scores, is manifestly unjust, given that school settings differ so widely. Good teachers are of course essential in education, but cannot be expected to raise the performance level of students in inner-city schools to that of students from wealthier, more resource-rich communities. 
  • There is no question that America’s education system is in mortal danger. Senator Hancock believes that the essential responsibility for failing schools lies not with teachers but can be traced back to the lawmakers who slash school funding. To be blunt, money, or the lack thereof, is the underlying factor that causes classrooms to overflow and deprives students and teachers of textbooks, facilities, counseling, and other forms of support. 
  • Improving education in America is not going to be easy. Reforms are needed that will take all the factors of education into consideration, granting teachers the respect they deserve while recognizing students’ birthright to a public education and providing them with adequate educational resources and community support.
