- Summary:
-
The nation's Governors resolved to lead restructuring efforts in their states as part of their commitment to achieve the national education goals by the year 2000. States are experimenting with a range of approaches to restructuring, depending on their resources, demographics, governance structures, and traditions. This report describes states' progress in restructuring education at the beginning stages. The first section discusses what restructuring means and how states are meeting the challenge of linking together changes in several parts of the system. The report then looks at examples of strategies under way and progress in overcoming major barriers. Among the lessons learned from recent state experience is that states must create strategies for sustaining commitment beyond policymakers' terms of office. Appendices contain the following: (1) national education goals and objectives; (2) restructuring frameworks; and (3) a brief overview of the approach each state has taken to improve its education system.
