- Summary:
-
This report follows two elementary and two middle schools in Kentucky where educators not only talked about what they needed to do to meet the needs of the state's educational reform program, but also acted on their ideas, creating a "no excuses" atmosphere. Images of reform suggest that resource decisions are often based on human relationships among faculty members, and that these, in turn, influence the desire to go out into the community to get what is needed to propel learning forward. These schools characterized themselves as "lighthouses" and "universities" where ongoing learning was key. However, the business side of things was less critical than the emphasis on "family." The report demonstrates how four different exemplary schools took on the question of "What is it we need to do?" and formed a shared vision through their dedication to students, staff, faculty, and school.
