Here are some links to studies done in regard to education reform. =20
In 1991, the Office of Educational Research and Improvement funded 12 =
studies to examine various aspects of reform, from assessment of student =
performance to the uses of technology. Each study has produced =
cumulative findings that provide a basis for forming broad and =
generalizable perspectives on reform. A thirteenth study called Fitting =
the Pieces looks across the 12 major studies to identify the essential =
elements of planning, implementing, and sustaining reform. Taken =
together, these lessons emphasize a comprehensive, strategic, and =
common-sense approach to school reform - one too often overlooked as =
reforms are rushed from design to implementation. =
http://www.ed.gov/pubs/SER/
In addition, here is a hotlink that may assist you in making your views =
count: This comes from the Dept of Ed's "Topics from A to Z" list of =
education related addresses. These that follow relate specifically to =
parent involvement:
