Apple - ACOT2 - The Challenge for American Education - 0 views

  • Most students report that dropping out of high school is a gradual process of disengagement that results in the lack of social or emotional connection to school. The good news is that the disengagement process can be reversed with more relevant, challenging coursework and individualized support from schools, educators, parents, and community.
  • In business, for example, 9 to 5 has been replaced by 24 by 7, as technology keeps us "always on" and our markets and workforces extend across every time zone.
  • To be productive global citizens, Americans need other skills that are less tangible, including greater sensitivity to cultural differences, openness to new and different ideas, and the ability to adapt to change.

Critical Issue: Integrating Standards into the Curriculum - 0 views

  •  
    "ISSUE: Many educators and advisory groups emphasize high standards as an important factor in improving the quality of education for all students. As a result, schools and districts are looking at ways to develop a high-quality curriculum that is based on standards. An important starting point for this effort is a carefully thought-out curriculum framework that reflects the standards and goals for which the education community is willing to be held accountable. Developing a standards-based curriculum requires changes in the way teachers teach and schools are run, so care must be taken to build capacity for all educators and to provide adequate time for implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the curriculum. The curriculum-development process also should provide opportunities for reflection and revision so that the curriculum is updated and improved on a regular basis. "

Test Today, Privatize Tomorrow - 0 views

  • But the word reform is particularly slippery and tendentious.
  • The clarity of language be damned: They come to bury a given institution rather than to improve it, but they describe their mission as “reform.”
  • It’s a very clever gambit, you have to admit. Either you’re in favor of privatization or else you are inexplicably satisfied with mediocrity.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • there’s plenty of room for dissatisfaction with the current state of our schools. An awful lot is wrong with them: the way conformity is valued over curiosity and enforced with rewards and punishments, the way children are compelled to compete against one another, the way curriculum so often privileges skills over meaning, the way students are prevented from designing their own learning, the way instruction and assessment are increasingly standardized, the way different avenues of study are rarely integrated, the way educators are systematically deskilled .
  • To that extent, even if privatization worked exactly the way it was supposed to, we shouldn’t expect any of the defects I’ve just listed to be corrected.
  • Making schools resemble businesses often results in a kind of pedagogy that’s not merely conservative but reactionary, turning back the clock on the few changes that have managed to infiltrate and improve classrooms.
  • ut an attack on schooling as we know it is generally grounded in politics rather than pedagogy, and is most energetically advanced by those who despise not just public schools but all public institutions.

    Using Accountability to "Reform" Public Schools to Death

    The term reform means different things to different people. It would be important that all stakeholders have the same idea about needed "reforms".

Funding Comprehensive School Reform - 0 views

  • This new approach, comprehensive school reform, takes an integrated view of the reform process. It is based on the concept that the way to successfully improve school performance is to simultaneously change all elements of a school's operating environment so as to bring each element into alignment with a central, guiding vision.
  • The success of comprehensive school reform depends on careful planning of school and district resource commitments. Unlike traditional reform efforts, comprehensive reform is not easily funded through a small increase in a school's operating budget.
