The authors participated in a bold, statewide school improvement
initiative that re-examined the role of a critical variable in
twentieth century educationutime. Progressive educational policy
changes in New Hampshire have put into motion the most dynamic
approach to the delivery of education of any state in America. This
statewide effort to create a system of personalizedstomized
learning cannot properly function in the 20th century model of
teaching and learning where time is the constant and achievement is
the variable. The steps that New Hampshire has taken will provide
the foundation for a new delivery model where time is the variable
and achievement is the constant.The New Hampshire vision is built
on the assumption that students can learn through a variety of
experiencesutraditional classroom instruction being but one mode of
delivery. Out-of-classroom Extended Learning Opportunities (ELO's)
provide alternatives to classroom instruction. These can include
internships, private instruction, on-line learning and other forms
of independent study. But, at the core of this vision, is the idea
that student achievement (and, by extension, teacher effectiveness)
should be measured in terms of mastering competencies, rather than
the traditional measure of 'seat time.' Although competency-based
models have been attempted, the New Hampshire story is unique in
that it offers a unique case of large-scale implementation.
Bramante and Colby offer the reader the ability to understand a new
context for the reinvention of education and how these challenges
affect all levels and aspects of our system of public education.
Education professionalsufrom classroom teachers to policy
makersuhave much to learn from the lesson of New Hampshire.
