Whether to start over or turn around troubled schools
One argument in education circles today is whether to start over or turn around troubled schools. What are the advantages and disadvantages of starting over when creating a new school design compared with turning around an existing school?
Using your Week 1 Thinking Map, include a real-life example of an alternative education school or program that represents your perspective on the best way to develop or turn around a new kind of school. Be sure to extend the conversation. Think about the model you and your group will construct. How would this conversation apply to your alternative education school or program?
Note: No peer responses are required for this discussion, but please read your groupmates’ posts and consider them as you formally decide as a group what kind of school or program you will propose.
Support your statements with evidence from the Required Studies, other research, and experiences. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.
