I read an article recently that provokes thought about educational
reform. It questions much of the current approaches and visions for
educational reform. It is a good read and might provoke discussion on
this listserv. The article is:

Elmore, Richard F. "Getting to Scale with Good Educational Practice."
Harvard Educational Review, Vol. 66, No. 1, Spring 1996, pp. 1-26.

Questions:

1. Are states, communities, and school districts ready to support
wide-scale reform?
2. What role can federal government play in promoting and supporting
wide-scale reform?
3. What are shortcomings of current NSF programs for promoting and
supporting effective educational reform in school districts?

Hi All: In the last couple of weeks I've had messages from people who
are interested in joining this leadership listserve, which has made me
think about it anew. The topic of leadership is clearly important,
yet we've all been silent for quite a while. Joni Falk, from TERC,
and I have discussed whether the listserve had just run its course.
OUR QUESTION TO YOU: Is there interest in continuing the dialogue
about leadership development in teacher enhancement projects? If you
are still interested, please post a reply, and indicate two or three
topics, questions, or issues that you hope the list will address. If
we hear little continued interest, we'll acknowledge that the
discussion has run its course. THANKS and the best for Thanksgiving,
Susan
