The Plight of Teachers' Unions
Arthur Levine
Education Week May 7, 2013
I felt compelled to share this post by Arthur Levine in Education Week.
Mr. Levine really hit the nail on the head when he stated, " Industrial societies focus on common processes, epitomized by the assembly line. information economies focus on common outcomes. Process is variable. With regard to schools, the emphasis is on learning;"
"the shift to an information economy and a focus on learning is inevitable. Teachers' unions can oppose it or lead the transition."
