NOT FOR THE TIMID: THE COMMUNITY?S ROLE IN SCHOOL REFORM
Posted by on January 24, 2003
[From the PENWeekly NewsBlast]
School reform that results in significantly higher levels of performance by both educators and students will not occur if only a few elected officials and education and business leaders demand it, understand it, support it, and monitor it, says middle grades reform advocate Hayes Mizell. "Without broad-based support by the community as a whole, school reform will either be short-lived or have limited effect." What is needed, Mizell says, are active partnerships among community representatives and education leaders — school board members, superintendents, and principals — who candidly identify the weaknesses of their school systems and schools.
