Friday Open Thread

Not sure what to make of this story in the Seattle Times this morning about a new group in our region created to incubate new types of schools.  Apparently the entire system of public education is "broken" and needs to be "blown up."  (Just to note, I think in this day and age, we might not ever use the term "blown up" about schools).

I have to smile.  This is the same ed reform party line that's been going on for years.  So what's this, a repackaging?

That’s part of the vision she shared on the first day of training last month with other principals and principals-to-be who are part of a new school leadership “incubator” in Seattle. Dubbed the School Foundry, the yearlong program has an inaugural class of five fellows: one each from the Renton and Seattle school districts, two from a new charter campus opening next year in Tukwila and another from an alternative high school in the rural Methow Valley Schools.

The fellows will spend the next year helping each other design schools that will focus on raising the performance of student groups that, on average, often lag behind their peers. Each fellow has committed to opening a new or transformed school in 2018-19. 

The article doesn't say who the principal is in SPS; I'll have to ask.

Who's fronting this? This group. It's a non-profit chartered by the U.S. Department of Education to oversee student loan processes. They have assets of about $1B and their top staff each make $800K a year. Who says there's no profit in non-profits?

The training is financially supported by the Los Angeles-based ECMC Foundation, the philanthropic arm of a nonprofit that handles student-loan collection.

We all know how good-hearted these student loan groups are so I'm sure great things will come from this "School Foundry."

What's on your mind?
