Teachers take charge to save ailing public schools
This article talks about teacher-led schools. Apparently, everyone from the janitor to the principal have the same amount of say. The way that decisions are made are by majority vote. I am just curious as to how the referral process works in schools like this as well as special education. Do a majority of teachers need to agree that a student has a disability? Or is it like the regular referral process? I don't know, but it would be interesting to see how teacher-led schools affect students' with special needs and in particularly why it affects. But, I don't have the money or anything like that to do it, nor how to even do a study like that.
But, it presents a very fascinating idea. It is almost like a democratic school, in that all teachers have the same say in things. They have a say in what they would like to teach, which is very helpful, I would think. Very helpful in keeping the teachers teaching there at the school.
I guess that this article doesn't really affect how I will teach, but it may affect where I end up teaching. It would also be good to just know about it because it sounds like a very fascinating movement within the education movement in the United States.
