Pre-K:\u00a0 Expanding the focus to P-3 to increase likelihood of proficiency in reading by the end of grade 3.<\/p>\n<p>2. K-12 Finance: Creating and maintaining efficiency and financial accountability without lowering expectations.<\/p>\n<p>3. Blended learning:\u00a0 Increasing the use of face-to-face and online instruction to make learning more efficient in all areas.<\/p>\n<p>4. Common Core State Standards:\u00a0 Going from talking to doing.<\/p>\n<p>5. Developing civic engagement in PK-12:\u00a0 States need to fund civic education and engagement opportunities in the absence of federal funding.<\/p>\n<p>6. Teaching quality: Building the will, capacity and accountability for evaluators; providing high-quality professional development for all educators to improve their practice; and finding the right balance of the \u201cweights\u201d of different measurements that add up to a teacher\u2019s evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>7. Rural:\u00a0 Enhancing the potential of education in rural America.<\/p>\n<p>8. Data:\u00a0 Access to what teachers and leaders need to improve student outcomes, and the skills to use it.<\/p>\n<p>9. Individualized instruction:\u00a0 Can serve the needs of all students, can include blended learning or proficiency-based credits, and can increase the motivation and engagement of students at all proficiency levels.<\/p>\n<p>10. Performance funding:\u00a0 These models could help align state goals and strategies with funding, address achievement gaps, help spur innovation, and provide a more systemic view of how well the postsecondary system is meeting state goals and strategies.<\/p>\n<p>11. Remedial education:\u00a0 The current system is not working; therefore, developing alternative ways of delivering remedial education and scaling it statewide could increase student success and make it a focal point of state education policy by including it in performance funding, accountability and continuous improvement systems.<\/p>\n<p>12. Credentials of value:\u00a0 There is a need to increase the alignment between postsecondary capacity and workforce demand.<\/p>\n<p>To read the full report, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecs.org\/clearinghouse\/01\/00\/28\/10028.pdf\">http:\/\/www.ecs.org\/clearinghouse\/01\/00\/28\/10028.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Education Commission of the States (ECS), a national, nonpartisan education organization, has released a report detailing the issues the Commission believes will be center stage in education policy debates this year.\u00a0 The report is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all pertinent education issues, but rather aims to \u201cstimulate thinking around how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coreeducationllc.com\/blog2\/12-for-2012-issues-to-move-education-forward\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"sr-only\">Read more about 12 for 2012: Issues to Move Education Forward<\/span>[&hellip;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4],"tags":[99,54,92],"class_list":["post-748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-school-reform-leadership","tag-education-issues","tag-policy","tag-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
