Policy Brief: Transforming Urban Education: Implications for State Policymakers
Author(s):
Laura Lefkowits and Barbara Diamond
Audience(s):
Administrators and Policymakers
Product Description:
The brief is based on work undertaken in 2008 by McREL and KnowledgeWorks with the Ohio 8 Coalition. The coalition is a group of eight of Ohio's largest school districts, which used the scenario building process to explore trends likely to impact education and create four "plausible but divergent" scenarios, or stories, for education in the year 2020.
Key Ideas:
This brief explains the context and process for scenario building and discusses the implications for state-level policymakers interested in supporting such a transformation of urban education. The authors suggest possible approaches policymakers could take to implement these recommendations and prepare not only to survive, but also to thrive in the challenging and uncertain times ahead.
