Was Christina's Board Taken for a $300,000 Cambridge/Mass Insight Ride?

Kilroy, man, this one's for you:
Did Christina know that they were letting the fox into the hen house?  Is Cambridge evaluating Christina for Turnaround?  Well, let's see, Christina's got three schools on DOE's turnaround list.  hmmmm.  Looks like some board had the wool pulled over their eyes.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...

For More Information on School Turnaround Strategies


Turnaround is a dramatic and comprehensive intervention in a low-performing school that a) produces significant gains in achievement within two years; and b) readies the school for the longer process of transformation into a high-performing organization. Successful turnaround requires strong partnerships and flexible operating conditions, and is best conducted across small clusters of schools in ways that can lead to whole-district redesign.

Mass InsightEducation & Research Institute •18 Tremont Street, Suite 930 • Boston, MA 02108 • 617-778-1500

This report was created through analysis of higher-performing high-poverty schools and best practices from turnaround initiatives to date.

The report and related documents are the result of a Research & Development process led by Mass Insight and various partners including: Apollo Philanthropy Partners, Cambridge Education, Education Counsel, Holland + Knight, and The Parthenon Group.

The report should be used in conjunction with the Main Report, The Turnaround Challenge: Why America’s best opportunity to dramatically improve student achievement lies in our worst performing schools,and a variety of other resources distributed throughout the spring of 2009.

The report and related Research & Development were generously funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Who elected them anyway, they should fire the superintendent (Schneider) and then summarily resign in disgrace

Hey the spammer is out and about. When I posted the post on former Christina staffer-now deputy Secy of Ed Dan Cruce, someone took it upon themselves to spam the post with some major XXX porn.

I can't wait to go through the links. There is no doubt that the reason Delaware is now that frickin' guinea pig for "the ground-breaking Turnaround" reform "movement" is because of the connections Christina has forged with the powers behind Joey Wise and Lillian Lowery - Broad Fndn, Rodel and Vision 2015.

Nice.

Amen Nancy! This super is completely clueless! They should have hired a local guy. I think they are purposely trying to go belly up-- Broad is turning them into an educational petry dish

Problem is folks, Broad has a hand in everything and everyone. It's the same fat cats enriching themselves.

Christina may have brought them in, but even the DSEA turned on its teachers to go to bed with sec. of ed. They were there, in the room with Mass Insight, this summer when the plan to obliterate local control was hatched. It's a shame that classroom educators are just now realizing that they were sold out by their own.

Broad is an absolute repository for addled brains. Every single fucknut that comes from there brings deceit, treachery, fiscal mismanagement, pedagogical catastrophe, anti-union, anti-child, irresponsible, blathering, ill informed, unsubstantiated, devoid of leadership, contentious and unfathomable immoral leadership to the table. Fire Schneider, Now.

It is good to see not everyone in Delaware has been snookered by the Broad/Rodel/News Journal juggernaut. Vision 2015 has been pushing Delaware to fund its schemes for several years, without success, and now they have got the feds to make us do it.
