"This isn´t just about small schools, but about student success," Superintendent Phil Long said. "We don´t know where this journey will take us over the next year, but it all fits with school improvement." Source.
I, like many of my colleagues and mentors, are advocates for small learning communities, but I have to say that the above quotation resonates with something more critical. None of us -- no matter how insightful -- knows how this "journey" will unfold. This is not only a reminder to those who are leary of yet another 'edu-trend', but also to those of us who believe the answer of one type of school reform is simple and just and blantantly obvious.
