Reforming the Education Conversation
Abstract
IntroductionThere are many voices, many opinions, many ideas, and in fact, there have been many attempts at improving education for young people. Both the discussion and ability to reach agreement about scalable solutions have been difficult. One of the reasons it has been so difficult for adults, while good intentioned, to come together and get on the same page about the direction we should be taking is that the conversation has been so ideologically divisive. Another is that people are looking for big transformational ideas (perhaps overlooking smaller ideas that can leverage big change), and many of these big ideas are focused on structure rather than content. A third reason is that we have not focused on how to have more constructive dialog about a comprehensive strategy; thus how we engage in and conduct the conversation about education reform itself is in need of reform.
