Doug’s learning goals

Posted on

My goal is to learn about the unintended implications of education reform throughout our American history. I believe that when ed reform is created and drafted to policy, many unintended consequences arise that policy makers would not expect. One example is common core, that promotes it is “preparing America’s students for success”, but has left lasting unintended effects.

As Dana Goldstein is beginning to describe in Teacher Wars, I am interested in learning about the battle in education reform and the multi layered results and implications that cause teachers, students, and communities to change.
