=Welcome to EDUC 649 Section A's Educational Reform Wiki!=

This wiki is the product that emerged from the work of 26 students in Section A of a course entitled, Foundational Perspectives on Educational Reform. In an effort to look at reform in a more holistic way, the instructor asked teacher candidates to focus on four areas: a) teacher quality, b) student health, c) school climate, and d) place-based education. The instructor chose these areas because each, to some degree, appears to be connected to student learning and/or achievement. Within these prescribed areas, teacher candidates identified or selected areas that they were willing to explore more deeply over about a four-week period.

We hope that you find something of value on this site that informs your thinking about educational reform.
