"Look Before You Leap: Lessons for the Next Wave of Ed Reform from the Last Twenty Years"

  • 25 Sep 2013
  • 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
  • Winchester Public Library
The LWVW is supporting this event being held by Senator Pat Jehlen and Senator Katherine Clark. The description below is from Senator Pat Jehlen's website.

As we approach a new wave of reform with Common Core standards, a new, bigger battery of tests, and proposals to lift the cap on charter schools, now is an appropriate time to look back and reflect on the last wave. This last wave began 20 years ago with the Education Reform Act of 1993, which increased state funding for education, and introduced both MCAS requirements and charter schools.

Citizens for Public Schools released a report in June on what has happened with our students during those 20 years. The report can be found online at citizensforpublicschools.org. Citizens for Public Schools will make a short presentation about their report, which will be followed by an open discussion between presenters and attendees. The forum aims to involve in the discussion the people most affected: students, teachers, parents. All are welcome to attend.
