Children spend their formative years in public school; they are shaped by the curriculum (formal,
hidden and null), the teachers that deliver that curriculum, and the communities within which
their schools are nested. As a result, schools play an enormous role in shaping the values, skill
sets and attitudes that young adults adopt as they leave their K-12 experience and go on to
college or join the work force.

As the tragic events of the last few weeks have demonstrated, schools must do better in their role
of shaping citizens: we, as educators, must do better.

Over the last 10 weeks we have explored a number of issues ranging from inclusive education to
curriculum, including: standardization, zero tolerance, teacher preparation, student and teacher
centered teaching philosophy etc. all of this was explored against the back drop of the Ecology of
the Child.

【PROMPT:】
“concentrating on 3 of the areas we have explored this term, and using a combination of course
material (readings and lectures) and your own student experience in the k-12 education system,
please write an essay suggesting how we could change the education system to help move us
towards creating a truly fair and equitable society.”

No one can do it all alone.  We rely on others to get things done.  We discussed ideas about motivation and working with others who resist change.  The attached article outlines a framework for school improvement (change).  Combined research has proven school improvement relies on skillful participation, vision, inquiry, collaboration, and reflection.  This assignment is asking you to look at the four frameworks outlined in the article - Study Groups, Action Research Teams, Vertical Learning Communities, and Leadership Teams.  Your school may already be implementing one or more of these frameworks.  Pick just one framework and show how it can be or is being used to create change in your building.  We learn best when we teach each other.  We do not operate in silos.  Take the details outlined in the  one of the frameworks and show how it could be used to bring about sustainable change in the area you choose.  Your paper should be no more or less than two pages - enough to synthesize the material in this module and reference it in your paper.

Essay Topic: Huesemann and Huesemann argue for a complex set of conditions needed to make technology environmentally responsible, identify a current “green” technology and see if it stands up to Huesemanns’ critique ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I basically chose Energy Star appliances as my green technology. Here is what they think: Techno-Fix is the novel written by the Huesemanns, which talks about the negative unintended consequences of technology that are unavoidable. It questions the main idea of today’s society, that advanced technology will free us from social and economic ruin. Huesemann and Huesemann show that most technological based solutions to technology-created problems are ineffective. They explore the reasons for the non critical acceptance of new technologies, and show who really controls the direction of change in technology. It is a very powerful critique, and they believe that the time has come to make science and technology more socially and environmentally responsible.
