Colorado Education
Colorado Education Reform
Let’s put our pointing fingers down and our thinking caps on!
Data show that decades of finger- pointing have done next to nothing to improve student achievement.
I’ve got a better approach, based on my business experience.
When I set a goal of 100% accuracy in my typesetting business, I got everybody involved to sit down together. Instead of blaming each other, the proofreaders and the typesetters came up with a new procedure. They bought a 29 cent highlighter. We reached our goal.
Fixing education is going to involve a lot more than a yellow marker, but the collaborative approach is proven to work.
When we bring together successful classroom teachers, parents and future employers, their combined wisdom will show us how to really:
Motivate kids to learn
Cultivate their critical thinking skills
Ready them for successful careers
Streamline testing
to get better data
in fewer testing hours
Experimenting with new approaches, discarding those that don’t work and embracing those that do,
together we can finally give our kids the education they need to build a great future for Colorado.
