Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread: Manufacturing Crises in Education.
Cizek, Gregory J.
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n10 p737-43 Jun 1999
The model currently guiding educational policy development--constructing crises and crafting solutions--has a long, unproductive history. To shrug off American education's perpetual crisis mode, educators should expand their descriptive vocabularies, apply the "so what" test, adopt demonstrably effective solutions, eschew a crisis orientation, and reconceive policymaking.
