2、summer- time blues, dust off their book bags, and head back to school. But others might be heading to an internship at a local newspaper or hitting the books for independent study. Some might even stay planted in front of the computer screen.Thats thanks to the states new credit flexibility program,
3、 which Ohio is launching for the upcoming academic year. The plan puts Ohio on the front lines of a transition away from a century-old pattern of equating classroom time with learning. But while theres a broad consensus that that measure, the Carnegie Unit, is due for replacement, no such unanimity
4、(全体一致) exists about the design and prospects for plans like Ohios. While most stakeholders agree that its theoretically preferable to give students the chance to personalize their education, it remains unclear how effective the alternatives are, how best to assess them, and whether todays teachers a
5、re equipped to administer them.“Certainly the Carnegie Unit needs undermining,“ says Chester E. Finn Jr., president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a Washington-based education think tank that also runs charter schools in Ohio. “Its far better to have a competency-based system in which some kind
6、 of an objective measure of whether you know anything or have learned anything is better. But by what standard will Ohio know thats been met?“The Ohios program will be among the most sweeping, but nearly half of the states now offer similar alternatives-although in many cases thats nothing more than
7、 allowing students to test out of classes by demonstrating proficiency. A smaller but growing number of states, from Florida to New Jersey to Kentucky, have begun allowing students to earn credit through internships, independent studies, and the like. Its a logical extension of the realization that
8、simply being in a seat from bell to bell doesnt guarantee intellectual development. Students-and their parents-are at least theoretically attracted to the idea of studying what they want, at the pace they want.Teachers are on board, too. “It really will allow more meaningful experiences for students
9、,“ says Sue Taylor, president of the Ohio Federation of Teachers, a teachers union that participated in designing the program. “Any time a student is able to take the lead or take some charge of some aspect, that student is going to be more motivated and learn something at a deeper level.“ The motiv
10、ation will extend to educators, she says: many teachers complain that the controversial No Child Left Behind law forced them to “teach to tests,“ preparing students to pass inflexible multiple-choice assessments, but the new rules should make room for more creativity.Of course, creativity cant precl
11、ude quality. “The concern is that the advocates of personalization dont necessarily advocate between good personalization and bad personalization,“ says Rick Hess, director of education policy studies at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. “A lot of these internships end up being time wa
12、sters, being silly, being trivial.“ While individual schools have found success with flexible systems, its unclear how they will work when scaled up to apply to entire districts or states. Many states with provisions for internships and independent-study programs are “local control“ states, meaning
13、that while the states Department of Education may allow high schools to give students options, the decision about what qualifies as a valid educational experience is left to local authorities. The bar could be set. differently from city to city, school to school, or even teacher to teacher. Ohio, fo
14、r example, hasnt offered solid guidelines to districts, although a spokesman says the state will collect data each year on how many students participated and what program they chose in order to “inform Credit Flex statewide going forward.“ It wont conduct a formal audit (审计), though.Starting alterna
15、tives wont be easy in a difficult fiscal (财政的) environment. With states across the countr3r desperately broke, even basic public services like schools and police have been put on the chopping block. Hawaii, for instance, cut some school weeks to four days, giving students 17 Fridays off, in the last
16、 school year; the plan was massively unpopular. Even though Congress held a special session this week to pass a bill giving states $10 billion to keep teachers on the job, school districts are looking at lean times for years to come. The solution for superintendents and school boards will be to find
17、 ways to cut costs without slashing school days.Floridas Credit Acceleration Program-which expands previous options for accelerated graduation-was passed this year with the primary goal of allowing students who are ready to move to tougher courses to do so. But its also a handy way to save money, sa
18、ys Mary Jane Tappen, the states deputy chancellor of curriculum, instruction, and student services. Fewer students in desks means cost savings. Virtual learning-which an ever-larger number of states allow as an alternative to learning in bricks-and-mortar schools-provides even greater economies of s
19、cale. The Florida Virtual School, an industry leader, has seen continuously increasing enrollment for both in-state and out-of-state students. Its Global School-the division that offers virtual classes to students outside of Florida on a fee model-does almost all of its business with districts and s
20、tates rather than on an individual student basis, says Andy Ross, the schools chief sales and marketing officer. Its helped to subsidize the taxpayer-supported in-state division of the Virtual School as well, covering its own costs and contributing some $2.5 million per year for research and develop
21、ment of software and teaching methods.While educators say blends of traditional and virtual learning are ideal, all-virtual classes could create an opening for strapped states to save money by slashing the ranks of teachers they employ in traditional classrooms. “If the same virtual lesson recorded
22、in Seattle can educate 8,000 kids in Ohio, how many teachers might not be needed that Ohio has historically employed?“ Finn asks.Taylor, of the teachers union, is concerned about budget cuts with the coming changes in Ohio. “There may be a few districts that are financially strapped in this climate
23、who may see credit flexibility as a chance to see budget slashing, but if they do, obviously its going to be done at the cost of effective student learning,“ she warns. On the contrary, she thinks districts should hire more teachers, with some taking on more supervisory and advisory roles in oversee
24、ing credit-flexibility experiences. “If a teacher has 125 students in a day, its not going to be feasible for him to help to design and work with each and every student,“ she says.Of course, this may be irrelevant. In launching its plan, the Ohio Department of Education said a major reason for allow
25、ing districts to develop flexibility plans was that while many states provide flexibility, not many districts take advantage of it. Data collection nationwide is hit or miss, so its tough to tell how many students use existing programs. Meanwhile, although anecdotal (轶事的) evidence suggests parent an
26、d student interest in the new alternatives, no one is offering predictions about how many Ohio students might sign up for Credit Flex. If the nationwide example holds, the vast majority of students will decide that bricks-and mortar schools are still the best way to get their mortarboards.（分数：49.00）
