| The Quiz: Test yourself on education in 2011 |
A test worth taking…
From Valerie Strauss in the Washington Post.
The year 2011 was monumental in education — monumentally good or monumentally bad, depending on your view.
School reformers who believe in using business principles to run public schools had a banner year. More states expanded the number of charter schools, promoted vouchers and moved toward using student test scores to evaluate teachers.
It was a tough year for those who believe that school reform cannot happen without taking into account the social context in which students live. Yet, toward the end of 2011 there were real signs that educators, parents and even students were pushing back.
Test yourself on 2011 issues that will continue to play out in 2012.
