The author’s “learning-centered” framework includes: (1) a broad and balanced set of education goals; (2) a multifaceted concept of achievement; (3) classroom capacity for learning; (4) systemic capacity and infrastructure; (5) shared, reciprocal accountability; and (6) systems of multiple assessments. New research-based concepts in these six areas are compared critically to older concepts behind standards-based reform and No Child Left Behind. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA comprehensive, alternative framework for future education reform that focuses on improving the core educational practices of learning, teaching, content, and leadership. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA federal role that emphasizes meaningful partnerships rather than top-down control. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA critique of past standards and present accountability-based frameworks, with implications of the learning-centered framework for future national policy, especially ESEA. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn operational definition of educational capacity, a re-conceptualization of accountability, and a sharp reversal of the relative emphasis placed on these strategies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elizabeth J.
