| Summary: | School leaders must navigate multiple education reform issues while remaining focused on the daily commitment of providing a quality education to all students. In many cases, the education reforms enacted by policy makers lack empirical support and/or result in potentially unwelcome or unethical practices, yet they are cloaked in rhetoric that makes it difficult for school leaders to accurately decipher the potential impacts on students and teachers. The lack of a practical framework from which to critique reforms such as using standardized test score to make important decisions about students and teachers, merit pay and standardized curricula products can leave some school leaders in the position of supporting reforms that have long-term negative effects on students or educators. |
