Minnesota K-12 Education: A Catalogue of Reform Proposals. A Report of the CURA/College of Education Project on the Future of K-12 Public Education in Minnesota.
Wells, Lawrence C.
This catalogue discusses major Minnesota proposals over the past two years (through the end of the 1985 legislative session) for improving the quality of K-12 public education in the state. Following a 10-page summary is a legislative update which provides a picture of education reform as enacted by the state legislation, and connects some of the themes contained in the proposals with actual legislation passed during the 1985 special legislative session. The reform proposals are divided into the following topic areas: (1) curriculum, (2) pedagogy, (3) student testing, (4) teachers, (5) administrative and support staff, (6) school administration, (7) special populations, (8) school environment, (9) business-education partnerships, (10) funding, and (11) research and development. For each proposal a brief description is given, and basic premises and cost implications are indicated. A finder's matrix connects proposals to their specific sponsoring organizations. A bibliography presents complete citations from all the reform proposals and an appendix provides information about the 18 different organizations and sources of the reform proposals. These sources are categorized and briefly described; their addresses and phone numbers are listed. (ETS)
