Now more than ever, education is facing “reform” on a continuous cycle. Though the world’s greatest education leaders attempt to “reinvent” or “reform” education, very little change is actually taking place. Specifically in the United States, education has focused primarily on reading and math and has raised these two subjects to the level of supreme importance. Our education system has also managed to successfully promote the few that perform high on assessments, and condemn all others that perform below the standard. How can we turn this around? How can we put an end to what seems to be an endless cycle leaving students devastated in its wake.
The answer is simple. I’ve said it during many of my teacher trainings, and I’ll say it again. Change can’t happen until it happens! We (teachers) must be the change we want to see in education. There is power in numbers, and we all know there is a LOT of teachers. If we can stand together with the purpose of making positive change in education, we would see change as early as tomorrow.
