Jack Jennings, founder, president, and CEO of the Center on Education Policy (CEP), stepped down from his roles at the organization on January 31.\u00a0 As part of his retirement, he is releasing two publications.\u00a0 One is the history of the CEP, the other contains some final words of advice on the future of American public schools.
\nThe second publication, Why Have We Fallen Short and Where Do We Go From Here?<\/em> summarizes his reflections on his long career in education policy, which culminate in three major conclusions.\u00a0 The first is that the three reform movements of the past 50 years (equity-related, school choice, and standards-based reforms) have affected schools, but have not accomplished the broad goals intended.<\/p>\n

Second, for major changes to occur, more focus must be placed on improving the curriculum, the teaching force, and increasing school funding.\u00a0 Finally, he encourages Congress to adopt an \u201cequal education\u201d clause, that states no child in the US will be \u201cdenied equal educational opportunity in elementary and secondary education through the lack of a challenging curriculum, well-prepared and effective teachers, and the funding to pay for that education.\u201d\u00a0 In other words, a quality education should be a civil right.<\/p>\n

In the end, Jennings emphasizes that the Americans have a choice.\u00a0 \u201cWe can adopt piecemeal approaches that have some effect.\u00a0 But if we want broad, major improvement for our nation\u2019s schools, we have to act boldly, not just talk or try partial fixes.\u201d<\/p>\n
