Reflection Requirement:
Ready for a completely open-ended reflection response? If so, then go for it!
If not, here are some suggestions to guide your thought process.
Potential topics to address in your reflection:
Why are "standards" so prevalent in education today? Why are "accountability" and "standards" the buzz words in many professions and society today? Isn't it good to have standards in your life? So why is education any different?
Some of you may have understood that the prevalent use of standards was just the way that schools are. If so, what was your reaction to Eisner's view of the standards system in "The Centrality of Curriculum and the Function of Standards"?
