Article entitled "21st Century Schools Will Offer Learning for All Citizens" covering important speech in the mid nineties by William Lepley, State Supt. Of Schools, Iowa. Lepley, a major change agent, said "schools will be hub of community…centers for family and social services open year round…lifelong. In the ideal community the superintendent coordinates children and family services, in addition to education."

The North Central Association's Outcomes Accreditation (OA) model has generated ` considerable interest among Michigan educators . It is a process that follows many of the principles of the "Effective Schools Research" and results in schools focusing their activities on improving student success . But as with any new initiative, certain basic questions ought to be asked and answered before schools should commit their energy and resources . This brochure attempts to answer some of the questions which have been raised about the NCA's Outcomes Accreditation (OA) model .

Probably the most important early (1946) documentation of the plan to communize American education. This article by Dorothy Dawson, secretary to the school superintendent, entitled "Community Centered Schools…THE BLUEPRINT which appeared in the Montgomery County, Md. "Advertiser" , April 11, 1973, clearly spells out the socialist education revolution which would take place in American education, using Montgomery County schools as pilot schools for experimentation. The article includes the Educational Program for Montgomery Co. Schools as proposed by Dr. Nicholalus L. Englehard and Associates, Consultants, and written by Dr. Walter D. Cocking, New York City, 1946. In the Letter of Transmittal, they asked that the program"should be put into operation gradually."

Copy of Agreement between United States (President Reagan) and the Soviet Union (President Gorbachev) related to many fields of endeavor, but with special reference to merger of U.S.A. and Soviet (Russian) education systems. Important excerpts follow regarding the purpose of the agreements: "The facilitation of the exchange, by appropriate organizations, of educational and teaching materials (including textbooks, syllabi and curricula), materials on methodology, samples of teaching instruments and audiovisual aids." "The Parties will encourage exchanges of representatives of municipal, local and state governments of the U.S.A and the U.S.S.R . to study various functions of government at these levels.

This is "THE" major report on Community Education written by two superb researchers from Wisconsin, the late Ruth Feld and Jil Wilson. Its significance is enormous, not only for researchers, but for everyone on this planet, since community education is the UN's birth through death communistic plan to control all of us birth through death. Regionalism, sustainable development, community policing, faith-based initiaves, school-based clinics, etc., etc. come under community education (re-education, ed). This report covers in great detail: definition of community education (C.E.) UN/UNESCO, Change Agents in C.E., Strategies in C.E., Individually Guided Education in C.E., History of C.E., International C.E., Blueprint for Community-Centered Schools, Future of Education.

A good example of what transpires at these important Annual Meetings is described in the minutes of this meeting of the international elites who form the membership of the Aspen Institute. Some quotes follow: "One of the direct outcomes was the Aspen Institute's participation in Philadelphia's Bicentennial Era Program 'A Declaration of Interdependence'…Harlan Clelveland helped this imaginative enterprise, a project of the World Affairs Council…The program in International Affairs has also been active in forming a new non-profit organization 'Global Perspectives in Education, Inc.' with Clark Kerr as Chairman and Harlan Cleveland as Vice Chairman to develop teaching suggestions and public support for international curriculum in United States elementary and secondary schools."

The restructuring of American education from academics to the failed Soviet polytech system (2006 work force training system) is made very clear in the following remarks by former President G.H.W. Bush at the Presentation of the National Education Strategy in 1991: Fortunately, we have a secret weapon in America's system of colleges and universities-the finest in the entire world . The corporate community can take the lead by creating a voluntary private system of World Class Standards for the workplace .
Employers should set up skill centers where workers can seek advice and learn new skills. But most importantly, every company and every labor union must bring the worker into the classroom and bring the classroom into the workplace.

Write up of the most important federally funded teacher education program geared to change teacher from transmitter of facts (content) to behavior modifier, using values clarification, etc. Bettye Lewis, one of the nation's most prominent education researchers, possessed the multi-volume Behavior Science Teacher Education Program (BSTEP) and was able to critique it in detail. This is the teacher re-education program which resulted in many good school superintendents leaving their profession, realizing that their raison d'etre (the promotion of academic education) would be a thing of the past.

We drew many of our examples from everyday life, from events familiar to us all, events that may often puzzle us even though we've seen them many times. Most readers find such everyday examples to be rewarding because we're talking about them. Most readers also find such everyday examples help them understand the points being taught because they already understand the examples themselves. And most readers find such everyday examples to be useful because they can apply our analyses to other similar examples they meet in their normal lives. But we've also drawn many of our examples from clinical cases and other areas involving professional behavior modifiers. Readers find these professional examples rewarding, because such examples often involve extreme cases of behavioral deviation, cases whose causes and solutions are not, at first,clear. And readers find such professional examples useful, because they help them understand the role of the professional behavior modifier, either for future jobs for themselves or simply as part of their general education.

Ever wonder why many Americans react to important information with a blank stare? This entry will help you understand since it explains the history of psycho-political warfare being waged against Americans since prior to World War II. Of utmost importance is inclusion of the transcript of a speech by Lavrentia Beria, head of the Soviet Secret Police, to American students at Lenin University prior to 1936. One revealing excerpt follows from Beria's speech: " The failure of Psychopolitics might well bring about the atomic bombing of the Motherland . If psychopolitics succeeds in its mission throughout the Capitalistic nations of the world, there will never be an atomic war, for Russia will have SUBJUGATED ALL OF HER ENEMIES. Communism has already spread across one sixth of the inhabited world . Marxist Doctrines have already penetrated the remainder . An extension of the Communist social order is everywhere victorious . The spread of Communism has never been by force of battle, but by conquest OF THE MIND. IN PSYCHOPOLITICS WE HAVE REFINED THIS CONQUEST TO ITS LAST DEGREE."

Several months ago, my office accumulating material which had particular significance in the area of Planning, Programming, Budgeting Systems because of its potential use as a tool of fiscal accountability in the field of education . As we searched into the information available on the application of this subject in education, it became increasingly difficult to see any relationship between the proposed programs and fiscal accountability. It was apparent after a study of the methods proposed for use by the schools for accountability purposes that fiscal accountability was being minimized and the techniques were being promoted for achieving behavioral objectives.

This article which appeared in Education Week, November 2, 1988 said in part "A national panel of state board members last week called for scrapping a time-honored feature of the American education system: graduation requirements based on the so-called Carnegie units, or the "seat time" students spend in various subject areas. It urged that policymakers replace the units with systems that require students to meet defined performance standards. This was the final implementation of the long-planned Outcomes Based Education based on Benjamin Bloom/Skinner's mastery learning method which is vital for value change and work force training.

Schools of the Future…They'll Become Centers of Learning, Bremerton Sun, 10/14/89. Shirley McCune, Senior Director of the federally-funded Mid Continent Regional Ed Laboratory, stated in part that "the school of the future must be far different than that of today to meet the changing needs of society. When you walk in the building there's a row of offices. In one are drug counselors. One is for social security. Another, family and child psychologists. Yet another has a doctor and nurse who do well-child exams. In the cafeteria, senior citizens mingle with students; there's a child care center; in the gym, homemakers are taking exercise classes, etc. These are 'community centers,' not just schools."

A remarkable book which exposes the goals of American education by a respected researcher and author of many books on American education.  Barbara Morris cuts through all the semantic deception dished out to parents and teachers on a regular basis.  A must read in every way!  One excerpt follows:
“The purpose of most of the activity that takes place in public, and often, in private and church schools, is not to change the child by developing his intellect, teaching him skills and a traditional body of knowledge. Rather, the purpose is to eliminate existing traditional beliefs, values, attitudes and behaviors and to replace them with new beliefs and behaviors that will render the child susceptible to manipulation, coercion, control and corruption for the rest of his life. To substantiate the above definition, the scope and
effect of change agentry will be unfolded in many ways throughout this book . It should also be kept in mind that the term "change agent" is not an invention of the author, but the creation of the government and education establishment .”

Following are notes taken on the telephone from conversation with John O'Neil of Texas. Mr. O'Neil ordered the twelve volumes and is in the process of studying and evaluating them . The notes I took give verbatim quotes from "Introduction to Course Goals for Educational Planning and Evaluation,"2nd ed.,and "Program Goals and Subject Matter Taxonomies for Course Goals", 4th ed.

This document deals with the reasons for for early public child care. GENERAL CHISHOLM'S REMARKABLE LECTURES on The Reestablishment of Peacetime Society will undoubtedly startle many people. This is not the first time that wisdom has mercilessly illuminated the nature and consequences of the fantastic fabric of man's training and behavior. But I dare say that it is one of the few occasions in which pitiless disclosure has been accompanied by the drawing of a clear, cleanly-defined alternative which may inspire our efforts. General Chisholm is paradoxical. He not only pleads for mature men and women, but the nature of his plea discloses that he himself is that extraordinary creature, a man of maturity.

A CHRONOLOGY OF EDUCATION WITH QUOTABLE QUOTES If someone told the American people today that he or she and those with the same philosophy or ideology were going to destroy the values parents were instilling in their children, and that these same people were going to take control of the country there would be a tremendous and swift reaction by the American public. However, when almost the same things were said by Humanists Sidney Hook and H . J. Blackham, the public hardly reacted at all . In the January/February, 1977 issue of The Humanist, Hook (signer of the 1973 Humanist Manifesto) wrote that "human beings can be influenced to examine critically their religious beliefs only by indirection, (by which) I mean the development of a critical attitude in all our educational institutions that will aim to make students less credulous to claims that transcend their reflective experience."

Exact text taken from Coalition for Essential Schools "Re-Learn" Workshop for Teachers packet handed out at Rhode Island Training Workshop. This is Professor Theodore Sizer's program associated with Brown University's Coalition of Essential Schools. It calls for "less is more" similar to Hitler's philosophy of education; and as in communist education does away with grades; calls for mastery of specific skills; NO college bound, general or vocational tracks. Being implemented as one of restructuring models across the country.

This 1965 Compact for Education served as the seed for what would become the Education Commission of the States (ECS), a hybrid entity which disseminated federal education policy and fiscal/accountability directives, model curriculum, teaching methods,  etc. across the nation, resulting in all states having basically the same education and funding agenda.  Since the change agents involved in creating ECS knew it would be difficult to get state legislators to jump on board and fund such an unconstitutional, they persuaded the Carnegie Corporation to provide the initial funding.  The Chairman of each State Senate Education Committee serves as an advisor and attends important meetings where intra and inter-state policy initiatives are discussed

Extraordinary article regarding implementation of mastery learning in D.C. schools and open admission by Asst. Supt. Guines that "the new curriculum is based on the work of Professor B.F. Skinner who developed teaching machines and even trained pigeons during World War II to pilot and detonate bombs and torpedoes. "If you can train a pigeon to fly up there and press a button and set off a bomb" Guines remarked "Why can't you teach human beings to behave in an effective and rational way? This is the biggest thing happening in education today." This mastery learning/direct instruction program resulted in the deliberate dumbing down of many of the nation's young people, especially in the inner city schools ,and is now, in 2006, being implemented across the country for all children, under the guise of research- based reading instruction based on phonics.

This test shows very well what was expected from an eighth grader in the 1950's and gives a great example as to where education today has clearly failed.

For the last fifty years, there has been a growing concern over the number of mentally ill and emotionally disturbed children in the United States and an increasing dissatisfaction with the unavailability of mental health services. When the previous Joint Commission on Mental Illness and Health, for unavoidable reasons, was unable to cover this important area, both professional and concerned citizen groups pressed for a study of the mental health needs of children. Members of Congress also responded to the need and, in 1965, Senator Abraham Ribicoff introduced an amendment to the Social Security Amendments of 1965 (P.L. 89-97) which provided the funds and framework for the Commission's work. Thirteen national professional associations joined the incorporators of the Commission to form a Board of Directors. The Board, with a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, developed a staff and enlisted more than 500 of the country's leading authorities on early childhood, adolescence, and the young adult to work on Task Forces, substantive Committees, and the collection of specialized information. The collaboration and participation of both affiliate member organizations and specialists at every Governmental agency level provided the Commission with additional and invaluable contributions.

This is perhaps the most shocking, unbelievable piece of paper emanating from one of the federal government's America 2000 (President George Bush, Sr.)program that this writer has ever seen! This letter to "Dear Taxpayer" offers $1,120 a week to the recipient if he/she will propagandize America 2000 in their community. It goes on to say "Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the Center for Economic Development is committed to implementing America 2000. America 2000 is a U.S. Department of Labor program sponsored under the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills." After several education researchers inquired about this job, the office, we believe, seems to have disappeared.

"Dare the Schools Build a New Social Order", 1932, Prof. George S. Counts, important American educator and supporter of all things communist, especially Soviet education, says on page 28: "that the teachers should deliberately reach for power and then make the most of their conquest is my firm belief." belief.

This document proves without a doubt that restructuring of American education is based on UNESCO’s model for the entire world.  Its subtitle reads “Division of Structures, Content, Methods and Techniques” .  Eight years later in 1985 President Reagan would sign the education agreement with President Gorbachev of the Soviet Union, as would the Carnegie Corporation, which dealt in part with with the use of educational technology and the merging of the two countries’ education systems.

Important paper written in 1978 by educational researcher Mary G. Williams which documents and explains purpose of community education, affective education, sex, drug, death, human development, career, world order, moral, health education, etc. and etc. Good excerpts from Humanist Manifesto II and excellent, informative coverage of destructive programs in public schools, including Magic Circle, New Model Me, etc. Important quote re UNESCO's Birth to Death Community Education (Re-education) follows which, by the way, is being implemented across the nation and internationally in 2006. Lee Pavola, a Mott Foundation intern, clarifies the true intent: "It seems to me the end result of community education until now has been that we will get somebody in to play volley ball and will think we have changed their attitudes. Well, they will have played volley ball for three years and end up with the same attitudes they started with unless the teacher imparts a different set of standards."

Important Regents Policy entitled "Education and Community Renewal: The Role of Schools in Addressing the Needs of Economically Distressed Areas" One of first major policy statements which would initiate a nationwide move towards school based clinics and lifelong community education with all services in community being provided by unelected councils under the umbrella of the school district. This paper was provided by a member of the New York Board of Regents who said "This entire paper is a condensed version of the Mondale/Brademas: Child and Family Services Act. It is merely another approach to socialism, full State control of all children and full assurance of education from the cradle to the grave!"

Extraordinary and courageous self-published expose of how communists infiltrated public education in the nineteen thirties and forties written in 1941 by Bessie Burchett, Ph.D. Head of the Department of Foreign Languages, S. Philadelphia Public School for Girls. This is an absolutely fascinating book which, if possible, rivals that of Major George Racey  Jordan, also included on this website.  Burchett even includes a photo of poster on a classroom wall with USSR printed on it.  She goes into great detail regarding the beginning of sex  education, the questioning of right and wrong by students, the anti-American bias in the curriculum.  She, of course, suffered the wrath of the radicals up against whom she went.  A “must read” for everyone, but for teachers especially!

U.S. Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare, Office of Human Development Services, Administration of Children, Youth and Families, Children’s Bureau, 1977.  Excerpt from document:  “This Education for Parenthood:  A Program, Curriculum, and Evaluation Guide has been prepared to assist school agencies and community based organizations in developing effective preparation of parenthood programs for the teenagers they serve.  Curriculum now being used in over 2300 schools, 350 colleges and universities and about 400 community agencies throughout the country and also in 38 sites in foreign countries.”… Following quote from teenager participant:  “Before I went in I thought I would get married right away and have children.  Now, I want to wait until I am mature enough to be a good parent.”  The program calls for the use of the controversial “values clarification” techniques which basically result in the questioning and often destruction of traditional value systems.

This “Systematic Approach for Effectiveness” (SAFE) project,  1983,   was unveiled for use nationwide in 1983 as a result of the Reagan Administration’s  Commission on Excellence in Education’s “A Nation At Risk” report.   Its EXTREME importance lies in its call to radically restructure education from what one “knows” (content) to what one “can do”… how one can “perform”, using the Pavlovian/Skinnerian behaviorist dog training (mastery learning/direct instruction/OBE) in conjunction with systems management by objectives, for RESULTS. OBE would become the “bypass the brain” method essential for the restructuring of education from academics to global work force training.

This book on educational philosophy comes at a time of crisis, for the theme that runs through critical thinking in the field of educational theory today is characterized by deep concern over both the preservation and the enrichment of human values. Can we maintain our democratic individualism in the face of the standardizing forces of the Western machine civilization which may also engulf the Eastern world? Can we offset the totalitarianisms which deify the materialism of an increasingly industrial culture?

Occasionally a public school teacher turns activist against the change agents wreaking destruction of the traditional public school system.  One courageous teacher was Marilyn L. Reicks who wrote  “Education Reform Will Control You” in  1991.  Her activism lead to her losing her teaching job.  Some excerpts from this small package of dynamite follow:
A model for community education is being put in place: A model to show other schools in the nation how the school can become "the hub of the community" . Human services, health specialists, social services, law enforcement personnel, the world of work professionals, child care workers, and other social organizations and government
agencies will work with the school . Services including primary health care, social services, counseling, child care, job training, employment, leisure activities, retirement,
parenting, and et cetera will be controlled through the school . Global control at the local
level . Control over every aspect of your life - womb to tomb.

Concerns that the education system cannot adequately prepare students for life and work in the 21st Century have prompted people across the country to explore new ways of designing education. In several states, educators and policy makers are attempting to change the way we measure the effectiveness of education from an emphasis on traditional inputs, such as course credits earned and hours spent in class, to results or outcomes. The shift toward outcome-based education is analogous to the total quality movement in business and manufacturing. It reflects a belief that the best way for individuals and organizations to get where they're going is first to determine where they are and where they want to be-then plan backwards to determine the best way to get from here to there.

There is probably no subject that engages the public interest as greatly as does mental health. Why not? Every one, minute by minute, in his feelings about himself in his dealings with other people, and in his relations with the realities of the world about him, is happy, congenial, and successful, or the opposite, depending in large part upon his own mental health.

As the years passed I have found that the facts of life did conclude if only I would let them. I was brought to recognize this by an exciting and profound body of Americans who had succeeded in doing that very thing. These I have called the Men of the Consensus and to their leaders I have dedicated my book . Throughout the story of their work we can marvel at their traits. Certainly they were neither Liberals nor Conservatives. Not one was of any Party. Partisan politics was not their business and they eschewed all soapboxes, those of the die-hard Right or Left or of any straddling Liberal party. They were Radicals in the truest dictionary sense "from the roots thereof"; that is, they were students of the foundations of man and his culture. One by one these men -most of them working alone, most of them afraid yet naively brave - confronted the facts of modern life and, even against the loyalties and taboos of their people, let their minds conclude what the facts of life conclude.

Thanks to Kathy Finnegan, a parent and impeccable education researcher, our country has this excellent study/critique of President Clinton’s Goals 2000, the follow-up agenda to President Bush’s America 2000 which called for a transformation of America’s schools from academics to the Soviet polytech school-to-work system in which  students will have no choice of occupation or upward mobility, but  will serve as human resources to be exploited by the global elite.

A Petition related to French Elementary Schools, written by a high-ranking Inspector of French Schools. This Petition documents that the deliberate dumbing down of students is not confined to the USA, but is in fact part of an international dumbing down. Monsieur Ferrier says in part "But certain measures adopted by educators and school systems prevent the acquisition of basicknowledge and elementary skills…Among these measures: The abandonment of all forms of memorizing or "rote-learning" in favor of more "creative" and "rewarding" or fulfilling" exercises. Very useful and informative document which dovetails with similar petitions being circulated in the USA.

Is the STATE to decide what is Normal or Abnormal?... Recognition Of Symptoms in Emotionally Disturbed Children. Our understanding of what's normal is more limited than our comprehension of the abnormal because normality has a wide range. What is normal for one individual may not be normal for another. Actually there is nothing in the abnormal, which is unrelated to or non-existent in the normal. With the premise that we approach each individual child as a total sentient being- body, mind, intellect, feelings - we recognize that the behavior at any point in his life, 6 or 16 or 60, is a symptomatic express : on of the sum total of all he has experienced biologically, emotionally, socially, during his life. Then we consider, how does this one child measure up with the average. in his whole social group of peers? Does he live, perform, adjust in a reasonably effective, happy, healthy way? Or is he different? If different, how different? When can we talk with him, counsel with him, manipulate circumstances or environment which will help modify his difference? When shall we seek the clinical help that is afforded by child guidance clinics in their team approach of psychiatrists, psychiatric social workers, and psychologists? To what should we be alerted? Of what should we be aware if we are to function as preventive agents of poor mental health, mental illness, maladjustment?'

An absolutely wonderful book written by a father who with the help of his wonderful wife Barb, gave their children the greatest gift of all. Of six, three to Stanford, a fourth on the way, and the youngsters looking forward to having the choice too. The James Bunch were not removed from society, and even attended the classes of their choice at local schools from time to time. It's Still In Print and I'd recommend buying it for a cozy bedtime treat and a hand-off to any parental friend when you're done.

Education for Social Change Humanistic education began in the U.S.A. in the progressive education movement, which dates from about 1905, and its founder is John Dewey, a pragmatist ("what works is good") and a Humanist (first President of the American Humanist Society, and a signatory to Humanist Manifesto I). He aimed to introduce into the U.S.A. National Socialism, later known in Germany as Nazism, which he called "Collectivism", and to use the schools as instruments of social change to bring this about . (18) Dewey changed the aim, content and methods of education in the U.S.A. In 1905 he organised, along with some Fabians, the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, which in 1921 changed its name to the League for Industrial Democracy, and this in turn formed in 1962 an action arm called the Students for a Democratic Society. The aim of the League was to put into the classroom teachers, into the pulpits preachers and into the trade unions leaders who were collectivists (reflecting the Fabian method) . Early in the century, Dewey formed the Progressive Education Association, and the American Association of University Professors, also committed to the goal of collectivizing the U .S.A. (19) The schools were seen as essential to the task: "Nothing less than thoroughgoing reconstruction is demanded, and there is no institution known to the mind of man that can compass the problem except education." (20) Implementation of the plan was to be mainly through social studies, developed chiefly at that time by Dr George Counts .

The following excerpted material is taken from the International Learning Cooperative,  IMTEC’s, Newsletter, 1989.  A reading of the whole newsletter is necessary to understand the all-encompassing activities of international change agents doing the bidding of UNESCO, OECD, etc. However, this  particular issue  documents the use of American tax monies to support the spread internationally of McREL’s controversial values-destroying critical thinking curriculum and school-based management activities.
COOPERATION WITH McREL
The Second "School-Year 2020 International Conference held in Colorado, October 1988, was a joint undertaking by McREL (the Mid-Continent Regional Educational Laboratory) and Imtec . McREL is one of nine regional educational laboratories serving different regions of the United States and its protectorates. The "Labs" are practice institutions, assisting educators to use and apply the findings and products of research and development in their daily work in classrooms, schools, districts, state education agencies and related setting . McREL is the laboratory which serves the mountain/plains region including: Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. Our cooperation with McREL will continue.. A Development Group represented by people from McREL and Imtec is presently working on new programs building on McREL's Achieving Excellence Program (A+) and Imtec's IDP, The Institutional Development Program. McREL's A+ is a site or school-based management

 One excerpt follows:   The Mantooth Report (mentioned on this website as a separate entry, ed) describes a global education program in Indiana, and says: The children are to become the first crop of "planetary citizens" -- they will be the collective of the "world
community," . . . and they will work toward an "equitable distribution of the wealth" and for the ending of private ownership of property, since, they have been told, it unfairly
concentrates the wealth in , the hands of a few . . .the principle cause of social injustice.

"What is International Baccalaureate (IB)?" As of 3/29/10 there are 1,095 U.S.-based schools (mostly in the public system) that have adopted IB programs.

Documentation that inclusion of "mental health, housing, nutrition, etc." in definition of "Health"can be attributed to recommendation made by Soviet agent Alger Hiss, President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Canadian psychiatrist Brock Chisholm, and other members of the World Health Organization's Interim Commission.. Also included in this pamphlet are excerpts from speech by Chisholm entitled "Re-establishment of Peacetime Society, Responsibility of Psychiatry" which included population reduction, UN Peace force, and redistribution of wealth.

The growth of this system from its simple beginnings, and particularly since the opening of the present century, has shattered the conceptions and surpassed the expectations of its founders. Today, despite the fact that other nations have been engaged for some time in the radical extension of the opportunities of organized education to more and more children and youth, our secondary and higher schools enroll a far larger proportion of young people of appropriate age than do those of any other count Here without doubt is one of the most distinctive features and one of the most authentic expressions of our democracy. It is as truly American as our constitutional system.

Her expertise resulted in her being called to testify in 1984 before the Senate Education Committee.

This is a masterpiece, not only due to its impeccable research into the history of American education, but due to the author’s ability to write in a clear, concise, but at the same time eloquent manner.

"Learning and Instruction, A Chicago Inner City Schools Position Paper" presented in June of 1968 to the Chicago Board of Education, was produced by the planning staff in Chicago made up of Dr. Donald, William Farquhar, Lee Shulman, and the Chicago and Michigan State universities in collaboration. One reference used was "Soviet Preschool Education" translated by Henry Chauncey (Educational Testing Service, Princeton, N.J.) This position paper laid out the plan to restructure Chicago's inner city schools from a traditional grading plan to an ungraded plan using Skinnerian mastery learning and continuous progress/individual education plans. Education Week carried an article in its March 6, 1985, edition entitled "Half of Chicago Students Drop Out, Study Finds: Problem Called Enormous Human Tragedy". The program was one of the first experiments with mastery learning, later referred to as Outcomes- Based Education and in the 90's and early part of the Twenty-first Century, referred to as Direct Instruction. The paper also called for extensive community involvement and emphasis on changing the values of teachers, students, and the community as a whole. This project was the most important pilot project for the restructured educational system presently being implemented in the United States and worldwide today, and is a perfect example of the use of the minority community in educational research which would in 2008 affect all teachers, students and schools in the nation. The new system satisfies the needs of the business community worldwide since it is performance based.
