As a member of the public education world, it seems on a daily basis we are always talking about where we are and where we should be. However, it does not seem that we discuss if we ever got the place we were originally heading. In other words...we are always planning and rarely monitoring and improving where we already are.
Why is it we always seem to lead rather than follow the higher education in teaching and learning methods? Are we not capable of the great ideas ourselves? Is the funding inadequate for truly original thinking? Are the policies in place so protective that they have become stifling?
I propose we become the leaders! Public k12 education is one of the most important building blocks of every student that will later become a working member of our society. We need to "get there" quickly and not just talk about it.
