Bay State Educator Warns Teachers Against Faddism
Dr Charles Brown of Newton Massachusetts spoke to about 200 teachers in southwestern Vermont urging that educational change be purposeful and not fashion driven. He warned that the substance of learning matters as much as its form and emphasized the role of a first rate teacher and clear goals in guiding innovations across 16 schools serving 4,000 pupils. The talk followed his Atlantic Monthly article and highlighted dissatisfaction as the trigger for thoughtful change.
