| The wide variety of efforts to reform public schooling in
Chicago range from teaching a Spanish language curriculum for Latino/a “heritage speakers,”
to embedding natural phenomena to teach elementary level science, to using diagnostic
assessments and interventions in language arts instruction to forestall referral for
special education, to promoting community and democracy through arts education. Panelists
will reflect on the commonalities and differences across these change initiatives, including
the aims and political values embedded in their design and in their implementation. |
