= Mon Jun 27 = > Skype: Kate, Julie > Facilitated Conversation over Chapters 7-8 - Toby Consider the following quote from Meridith I. Honig found on page 172: "...some education research is targeting to helping educators and administrators take predictably successful actions that are appropriate for their situation. But most are not. If one looks at the state of education research optimistically, she says, we see that some policies get implemented are are 'successful some of the places some of the time... ' The essential implementation question then becomes not simply what's implementable and what works, but what is implementatble and what works for whom, where, when, and why?" Nodding to the fact that ESU staff members seek to base their work on current research and literature; what are the implications of this idea for you? || On pages 192-194 the authors contend that there are only three possibilities to changing schools: Common Language: schools determining the root causes and agreeing on the problems. Power: Leaders need to amass and wield power such as replacing teachers, or turning the school over to a mayor that can hire a superintendent that shares their vision. Separation: Setting up new schools with teachers, parents, and administrators who have stronger agreement on what they want - such as charter schools. To what extent do you agree with each of these assertions? What other choices have worked? What other choices could work? || > //Read the following items prior to the meeting and record your answers on the Word document included in the Protocol://
