Obama's Blueprint For Reform
Yesterday the Obama administration and the U.S. Department of Education issued a press release that give us some insight into the administration's proposed changes to NCLB. I have linked the article below for your review. I did note one interesting statement in the release. "Under the Obama administration's blueprint, state accountability systems will set a high bar of all students graduating from high school ready to succeed in college and careers. The accountability system also will recognize and reward high-poverty schools and districts that are showing improvement getting their students on this path, using measures of progress and growth." The release also provides a link to the administration's "Blueprint for Reform," which I have also linked below. If these reforms are passed, the changes will affect every school district in the nation. Please take a minute to review these links and let us all know your thoughts.

In a classroom situation a teacher can monitor students and visually uphold a level of integrity consistent with an institution's reputation. However, with distance education the student can be removed from supervision completely. Distance education has long had trouble with testing. The delivery of testing materials is fairly straightforward, which makes sure it is available to the student and he or she can read it at their leisure. The problem arises when the student is required to complete assignments and testing. Online courses have had difficulty controlling cheating in quizzes, tests, or examinations because of the lack of teacher control.
