World-Class
Education
For students to have a World-Class Education,
government, business and educational leaders must provide students with education
and career opportunities to fulfill their dreams. Students must be held
accountable to meeting or exceeding the educational learning standards;
and teachers held accountable for implementing the "No Child Left Behind Act."
School board
members, superintendents, and principals must be held accountable to World-Class
Performance Objectives and Measures rather than compliance with thousands of bureaucratic
rules and regulations. You may recognize
the performance objectives and measures since they are the same ones that used twenty to thirty
years ago. The World-Class Education Performance Objectives incorporate the �No
Child Left Behind Act� and �State's Learning Standards.�
In Elementary
School (K-8), the goal is be to provide students with basic education that
includes reading, writing, arithmetic, etc. The World-Class Performance
Objectives and Measures are
- Students meet
or exceed the Illinois Learning Standards to graduate,
- Student give forty hours of
community service,
- Students completed school in
nine years. and
- Principals provide students with diplomas to
get into High School.
In High School, the Goal is to provide
students with education and career opportunities to fulfill their dreams. The
World-Class Performance Objectives and Measures are
- Students, not
continuing their education, have career jobs,
- The Educational
Payback is one year,
- Dropout rate is
less than unemployment rate, and
- Completed in
four years.
Thousands of
World-Class schools need to be identified and replicated.
Schools submit their annual proposals to School Boards on how the school plans to provide
students with a World-Class Education. World-Class Mentor schools are helping
under performing schools develop and implement their plans.
