With change comes obstacles but the end result is most likely worth the fight.  ]]> 2020-03-19 19:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/MissParmar/xjrymxji737j/wish/466909284 https://padlet.com/MissParmar/xjrymxji737j/wish/468150373 Broad systemic reform challenges equity. Top down, systemic reform cannot meet the needs of end users, especially marginalized end users whose needs are rarely heard via standardized reform. ]]> 2020-03-20 16:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/MissParmar/xjrymxji737j/wish/468150373 https://padlet.com/MissParmar/xjrymxji737j/wish/468574008 I think the idea of systemic reform in general has flaws and that each community has its own barriers or need for a reform and change should be based on the needs at the local level, as mentioned in the article. I think reforms are often reactive, instead of proactive and that assessments should be done regularly – what do students need? What do teachers need? From a neo-liberalism approach, thinking about upcoming or current skill shortages whilst also providing students with well-rounded learning opportunities. Often we hear fluffy language, such as "...assuring that ALL students meet the same high standards" ..not all students learn the same or have the same opportunity, how do you address disadvantaged youth when considering reform? Who decides what is considered high standards and when are those standards re-evaluated?
