The industrial age high school was conceived to bring industrial efficiency to education.

We continue to argue that large comprehensive high schools are more efficient and less costly to build and operate.

BUT, this is true only-----

CEFPI2008

Industrial Age Traditional Comprehensive High Schools

Are they efficient?

Page 36: CEFPI 2008 San Diego

1. If every high school has to serve every student and offer extensive elective and extracurricular activities.

Industrial age high schools are more efficient and less costly to build and operate only---

CEFPI2008

Industrial Age Traditional Comprehensive High Schools

Are they efficient?

Page 37: CEFPI 2008 San Diego

2. If schooling is allowed to occur no more than 6.5 hours/day, 5 days/week, 180 days/year.

Are they efficient?

Industrial age high schools are more efficient and less costly to build and operate only---

Page 38: CEFPI 2008 San Diego

3. If current graduation rates are acceptable, and---if we continue to consider the cost/student/year and not the cost/graduate.

Can the industrial age high school work—can it be fixed to serve kids in the 21st century?

CEFPI2008

Industrial Age Traditional Comprehensive High Schools

Question?

Page 41: CEFPI 2008 San Diego

Can teaching and learning appropriate for the 21st Century be realized within the environment of the industrial age high school?

CEFPI2008

Industrial Age Traditional Comprehensive High Schools

Question?

Page 42: CEFPI 2008 San Diego

Can the level of technology in high schools and in the world they serve, continue to be so extraordinarily different?

CEFPI2008

Industrial Age Traditional Comprehensive High Schools

Question?

Page 43: CEFPI 2008 San Diego

Can any single type of high school serve the diverse needs of every student in every community?

CEFPI2008

Question?

Page 44: CEFPI 2008 San Diego

“History is not kind to idlers. The time is long past when American’s destiny was assured simply by an abundance of natural resources and inexhaustible human enthusiasm, and by our relative isolation from the malignant problems of older civilizations.”“Learning is the indispensable investment required for success in the “information age” we are entering.

Trying new ideas—What is the risk?

Industrial Age Traditional Comprehensive High Schools

Question?

Page 45: CEFPI 2008 San Diego

Is the future of public schools assured?

In the future, could there be other sources for schooling?

CEFPI2008

Industrial Age Traditional Comprehensive High Schools

Question?

Page 46: CEFPI 2008 San Diego

Is the industrial age high school an acceptable or

even viable model for the 21st century?

CEFPI2008

Question?

Page 47: CEFPI 2008 San Diego

“Our high schools are obsolete----they were designed 50 years ago to meet the needs of another age. Today, even when they work exactly as designed, our high schools cannot teach our kids what they need to know---”

Bill Gates (Feb 2005 at National Summit on High Schools)

Bill Gates’ answer

Page 48: CEFPI 2008 San Diego

The issues are vision and courage—not regulations or money.

High Schools- Future?1

• Graduation rate—OK?

• Industrial model—is it an option for the future?

• Parity—access or outcomes?

• Priorities in high schools, funding?

CEFPI2008

Facilities2

• Relationship between teaching/learning & facilities?

• Durability vs. flexibility?

• Green, sustainable?

• Implications of exponential rate of change?

• Where do students work?

CEFPI2008

Instruction3

• Class instruction vs. individual instruction?

• The classroom—basic unit of high school instruction

and facilities?

• Teacher centered vs. student centered?

• Disciplines/departments vs. multidisciplinary groups?

• Attracting students to high schools?

• Adults and students?

• Assessment—measuring content and HOTS?

• Use of technology inside vs. outside schools?

• Implications of agrarian calendar, 6.5 hour days for

learning, costs?

• Anytime, anywhere learning?

• Schools and the communities they serve?

“Our once unchallenged preeminence in commerce, industry, science, and technological innovation is being overtaken by competitors throughout the world.”

“If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.”

“Our society and its educational institutions seem to have lost sight of the basic purposes of schooling, and of the high expectations and disciplined effort needed to attain them.”A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational ReformThe National Commission on Excellence in Education, April 1983.
