| Abstract | For those who would like to see Ron Wolk's vision of schools realized, the challenge of scaling up is the most daunting one faced. Skeptics like to say, "Oh well, that 'X' and 'Y' did something really special is irrelevant; they're exceptions." But the author's experience suggests that today's exceptions can become tomorrow's norms. If that is to happen, a way for exceptions to be nourished and made systemic needs to be provided. A new kind of system is needed whose central task is to maintain the protected space necessary for nurturing what the author calls "exceptionalism": a lean, mean system, with a limited but critical accountability function that protects the public interest; a system that respects the fact that schools must be responsive, but to their own constituents--the members of their community, not the system itself. How to accomplish that goal is the challenge. The author concludes, based on personal experience, the challenge is very much doable. (ERIC). |
