ELPA News
Richard Halverson and Carolyn Kelley received a $1.4 million grant from the US Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences to design and to conduct a validation study of a web-based system that measures the quality of local school leadership practices. They have partnered with WCER and Learning Point Associates in conducting the four year study.
Richard Halverson and Allan Collins recently published Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology: The Digital Revolution and Schooling in America. They argue that the knowledge revolution has transformed our jobs, our homes, our lives, and therefore must also transform our schools. Much like after the school-reform movement of the industrial revolution, our society is again poised at the edge of radical change. They offer a vision for the future of American education that goes well beyond the walls of the classroom to include online social networks, distance learning with anytime, anywhere access, digital home schooling models, video-game learning environments, and more.
