Will National Reports Change Public Education?
Kowalski, Theodore J.
A survey of key educational leaders at the state level revealed strong support for most of the recommendations advocated by national reports such as "A Nation at Risk." Surveys went to school board leadership, executive directors of state associations for administrators, state affiliates of teacher organizations, and state superintendents in each of the 50 states. Responses were sought on 41 recommendations which had recurring emphasis in the national reports. A list is provided of the recommendations and the percentages of respondents' agreement or disagreement. Six received very strong support, 30 received majority support (support not as definate as the "strong agreement" category), and five were not supported by a majority. A brief summary of the findings concludes that recommendations from national reports will result in substantial changes in the public schools. (JD)
