IPDP Education

Main ideas for statement of the problem Current educational practices are not working: McCabe et al on cheating, Silent Epidemic and Graduation Rates Fact Sheet.

Current accountability practices do not reflect real learning and yet they determine so much about who graduates.

Current educational practices fail to recognize the fact that every student has authority over his or her own learning.

Governor Strickland has proposed six new directions for education that appear to address some of these problems; President Obama's ideas about education are congruent with those of Governor Strickland.

We want to propose: A model of teaching literacy that is grounded in whole language philosophy, but which uses computer technology to address specific needs of readers for direct teaching of critical reading skills and strategies.
