Education reform, better expressed as educational improvement, is not some silly game or prone to knee jerk reaction. The point is, to improve learning, get students engaged, to make learning instructive and to motivate students, requires time...lots of it. Teaching and learning that is meaningful is not something that can be altered or improved at the snap of ones fingers or the click on a computer.
Real progress and effective methods of instruction and student learning are time consuming and the habits that have to be acquired are in many respects timeless.
Students and teachers will have to spend hours reading, studying, preparing, analyzing and reflecting on a good deal of material. Questions need to asked and research is a necessity. The formula, in many regards, is known and someone declaring that unions are ruining education or that standardized testing remedies all is ills is missing the more critical points.
Please take heed!
