The Emperor Redux: Extending the Minnesota Metaphor.

Nelson, Wade W.

Phi Delta Kappan, v80 v5 p387-92 Jan 1999

Debra Eckerman's response to the author's May 1998 "Kappan" article shows she sincerely, but mistakenly believes that the Minnesota standards-based reform movement will raise academic expectations for all students by attempting to control educational outcomes. Teachers should jettison their complacency to improve professionalism and notions of best practice. (16 references) (MLH)
