Diane Ravitch just posted a piece on Oklahoma Education Reform Fatigue Im not certain she, or very many others, REALLY understand the level of reform FATIGUE our Oklahoma educators are going through due to the overall ineptitude of past (and possibly present) Oklahoma Legislatures. Here is the BEST comprehensive study I have come across which details OK Ed Reform(s) since 1990. Folks...THIS IS MIND-BOGGLING!!! Im truly amazed our education system functions at all. There have been SO MANY reforms there is NO WAY to determine if any have worked! There have been so many reforms that it is impossible to state with certainty which ones have worked and which have not – with this amount of change from year to year, attribution of results is a problem. It is easier to assess the impact of programs for which in-depth data are published, but most of the reforms address broad themes that affect all schools and grade levels (e.g., implementing a new state curriculum). For programs such as these, the effects are so diffuse that it is difficult to determine the efficacy of any single set of reforms. -- okpolicy.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/EdReform_OTAC_fullbrief.pdf
