Phd. Charles P. Giammona: Systemic Strategy for Reform

Systemic education reform is increasingly recognized as a necessary strategy
to provide sustainable improvements in the nation's education enterprise. The
National Science Foundation recognized a need for the nation to effect sustained
school reform in 1991 and challenged the nation's educational institutions to do
the same. But changing the course of educational institutions is like trying to
change the course of a supertanker—one does not turn on a dime.

Systemic
refers to fundamental, comprehensive and coordinated changes in science, arts
and technology education through attendant changes in policy, financing,
governance, management, content, and conduct. Systemic reform occurs when all
essential features of institutional and educational systems are engaged and
operating in concert; when policy is aligned with a clear set of goals and
standards; when the forthcoming improvements and innovations become intrinsic
parts of the ongoing educational system for all learners; and when the changes
become part of a system's operating budget.

Charles P Giammona: Dog the Details

In addition to the
opportunity that asynchronous learning offers, however, comes the added
responsibility of dealing with difficult details. Security, financing,
interoperability, and standards all challenge us on the road ahead. The authors
here point the way to some compelling dialogues that we must have surrounding
these issues. As our asynchronous and other technology systems become prime-time
elements of our programs and services, we need to ensure that they are up to
standards. This will likely mean treating this infrastructure much like our
other major systems, more thorough planning, documented and systemic
implementation, careful evaluation, and external audits.

Rule 3. You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high
school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents
had a different word for burger flipping--they called it opportunity.
