 Connecticut lost ground in the annual ranking of state laws that govern charter schools, mainly because other states such as Maine and New Mexico passed more progressive reforms in the past year.

 When Gov. Dannel P. Malloy put education reform on the front burner for 2012, he caught a wave of public sentiment that has been building for a couple of years in every corner of the state. Everybody from superintendents and the state's largest teachers union to business leaders, advocacy groups, parents and political leaders wants to improve the state's public schools.

"Major education reforms for Connecticut are planned for this year, and I'm here with Michael Sharpe, Director of Jamoke Academy, one of the fastest rising charter schools in Connecticut, in Hartford, [and] Patrick Riccards, the new CEO/President of ConnCAN..."

Last week, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy made a passionate case for why we all must commit to education reform in 2012. Speaking at his education reform summit, the governor made clear that school improvement is a team effort, requiring the involvement of all stakeholders.

About the only top slot the constitution state still clings to is "largest achievement gap in the nation."

So educational reform advocates say much is riding on Malloy's pledge that 2012 will be the year of education reform.

Malloy is hosting an Education Workshop Thursday at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain. Many invited are convinced the policies that begin to take shape there may lead to legislation that can transform the state's failing schools and ultimately assist in growing the economy.

Sneak peak at new Race to the Top TV ad

Posted April 20, 2010 at 8:24am
 in

 

With barely two weeks left in the legislative session (see countdown), new 30-second television ads will air today, calling on lawmakers to take immediate action and pass the reforms that will make Connecticut competitive in Race to the Top. 

Here's a sneak peak at the ad: 

 

The legislation now being considered would institute a better data system that incorporates student achievement growth into principal and teacher evaluation and links back to the programs that trained them, establishes alternative certification pathways for school administrators, and removes barriers to the growth of high-performing charter schools. All of these reforms, in addition to helping close Connecticut's worst-in-the-nation achievement gap, would significantly boost the state's chances of winning up to $175 million in Race to the Top funds. Read the full press release here.

Want to help Connecticut win the second round of Race to the Top? Write your legislators and tell them to pass these reforms now!
