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.
