Personalized Education: Standard's-Based Accountability's High Stakes...Indeed

EdConnections Posted by Dan S. Martin
Ronald A. Wolk is the founder and former editor of Education Week and the chair emeritus of the board of Editorial Projects in Education. His commentary, "Standard's-Based Accountability's High Stakes," was recently published in Education Week.  It is an interesting read.

"Going forward, it would be unwise and unnecessary to bet everything on standards-based accountability. The stakes in such a gamble are so enormous that we are morally obliged to consider, simultaneously (bold font added), the second course I’ve described and embark on a parallel strategy of creating a new, innovative system."

..."Personalized education would be the engine of that new system. This change in approach would be rational and would shape virtually every aspect of schooling."
