What do U.S. schools lack? Some argue that students and teachers lack a commitment to learning. Others argue that education devalues personal experiences and creative ways of learning. Whether systems use outdated, industrialized learning formats or disregard students, reform is necessary. Even in effective learning environments, reforms must be geared toward the changing culture and society of the United States.
Instigating and sustaining meaningful school reform involves school leaders, teachers, students, parents, and community members. As one of these constituents, you should examine how effective school leaders use a variety of resources and strategies to lead successful initiatives. Understanding community involvement, social capital, twenty-first-century skills, and diverse student needs will help you support positive school reform in the Digital Age.
