  • 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".

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

shared by Michelle Krill on 21 Aug 09 - Cached
  • 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  • In business, for example, 9 to 5 has been replaced by 24 by 7, as technology keeps us "always on" and our markets and workforces extend across every time zone.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.

  • The ACOT2 strategy is to offer a simple approach that focuses on the essential design principles for the 21st century high school-rather than a more prescriptive school reform model. While the design principles themselves are not new, what is new is that the complexity that characterizes most education reform models has been cleared away, enabling immediate action and results.

    The Concerns-Based Adoption Model, or CBAM, is a conceptual framework that describes, explains, and predicts probable teacher concerns and behaviors throughout the school change process. The three principal diagnostic dimensions of CBAM are: * Stages of Concern - Seven different stages of feelings and perceptions that educators experience when they are implementing a new program or practice * Levels of Use - Eight behavioral profiles that describe a different set of actions and behaviors that educators engage in as they become more familiar with and more skilled in using an innovation or adopting a change * Innovation Configurations - Different ways an innovation may be implemented, shown along a continuum from ideal implementation or practice to least desirable practice

    The mission of the Baldrige program is to promote excellence and to improve the economic strength and competitiveness of U.S. businesses and organizations. Any small or medium sized organization (public or private) can apply to participate. Rather than "reinvent the wheel" corrections agencies could utilize national and/or local Baldrige program criteria as a way to define, articulate, and measure themselves and create customized action plans to highlight their current strengths and reach even higher levels of functioning.

Funding Comprehensive School Reform - 0 views

shared by Michelle Krill on 13 Aug 09 - Cached
  • 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.

  • We’ve made a transformation from a teaching system to a learning system by “igniting a passion for learning.” Deming said all children come to school with this passion for learning and our job as educators is to increase the successes and decrease the failures students experience so they retain their natural passion.
