America’s Public School system is in disarray. Administrators are frustrated with increased regulation and focus on testing. Teachers complain of inappropriate student behavior and lack of parental involvement. Parents place most of the responsibility on the school and don’t seem to connect with teachers/schools/administrators. While the children are being lost in a system that points fingers but doesn’t solve the issues. Education Reform offers a systematic plan to reclaim schools, rejuvenate administrators, encourage teachers and empower parents to make change a reality.
Washington’s comprehensive reform speaks to every segment of the educational process – school, parents, students and community. Resources for improving education, sample mission and vision statements and fundraising ideas will aid in successful change. Washington clearly believes that school personnel are vital in the change process. Education Reform is ground in the African proverb – “it takes a village to raise a child” and this reform involves the entire community. The addition of success stories of districts that used this reform would make this a 5-star read. Education Reform should be utilized in every school district across the country and read by everyone that has a stake in the future of America.
