WCER Publications Archives Feature Story Archives WCER Feature Story (July 6, 1998) Kentucky's school reform efforts bear fruit A state-level accountability program can lead to significant improvement in school performance, according to recent studies by UW-Madison Education Professor Carolyn Kelley. She found that Kentucky schools successfully meeting student achievement goals in the state's school-based performance award program did so by making considerable changes in curriculum and instruction. Kelley found distinct differences between award-winning schools and non award-winning schools in the Kentucky Accountability Program. She studied 16 schools, selected to represent elementary, middle, and high schools in various geographic regions and reaching various levels of success in their accountability goals (see sidebar). Levels of Success "Reward"

What We've Learned Professional Development Other Research FOR MORE INFORMATION: Contact Carolyn Witt Jones, executive director, the Partnership for Kentucky Schools at 859-455-9595 Quality Training for Teachers a Vision, not yet a Reality, in Kentucky With the exception of programs such as the Kentucky Writing Project, which emphasize intensive training and ongoing support, professional development for the state's teachers still is "quite conventional in many respects," relying on short-term and fragmented strategies for boosting test scores that do not lead to significant improvements in instruction or learning. At the same time, Kentucky educators seem to have a "broader and deeper understanding of professional development" than in years past, which is a promising sign for the future. Those are among the major conclusions of "Mapping Professional Development Opportunities," a new study released today by the Partnership for Kentucky Schools, a coalition of business, government, and community leaders established in 1991 to promote public support and understanding of the Kentucky Education Reform Act. The study, part of ongoing research sponsored by the Partnership, was made possible by grants from the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Annie E. Casey Foundation. "Competing agendas, providing adequate time for professional development, getting teachers to recognize the need for strengthening their content knowledge, obtaining buy-in from entire faculties, and finding good opportunities for teacher learning were the biggest barriers to effective professional development," write Thomas B. Corcoran, Claire Passantino, and Gail Gerry in their report of practices in mathematics and language arts classes. Their study is based on extensive interviews with providers and coordinators of state and district professional development for Kentucky's public schools in 1999 and 2000.

Survey support schools' lawsuit Districts support schools' lawsuit By Crystal Harden Post staff reporter Kentucky's school funding system is neither equal nor adequate, three Northern Kentucky school systems maintain. Those systems Beechwood, Fort Thomas and Boone County plan to file a friend of the court brief this week to support a lawsuit, filed last year by students and parents in eight other Kentucky school districts, which challenges the state's system of funding schools. The Northern Kentucky districts have scheduled a press conference Wednesday to discuss the brief. The school districts maintain that the General Assembly is neglecting its constitutional obligation to provide for an efficient and adequate system of schools. "As a result of the General Assembly's failure to fulfill its constitutional obligation to adequately and uniformly fund education, many school districts have been left with the daunting task of substituting a substantial portion of their overall funding with local tax revenue," the districts said in a copy of the brief, which could be filed as early as today. Kentucky's system of school funding has come full circle since the passage of the 1990 Kentucky Education Reform Act, the districts said.

FLASH LINE HOME VISITORS WHAT'S NEW ... WELCOME FLASHLINE COMMANDMENTS SUPPORTERS RALLY IN KENTUCKY AS ROBERTSON CALLS FOR REBELLION ON 700 CLUB Web Posted: November 11, 1999 xcited by reports that public schools in Kentucky are posting copies of the Ten Commandments in classrooms, televangelist Pat Robertson yesterday called upon his viewers to rise up, and compared events in that state to the time of the American revolution. Robertson declared: "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to say this very clearly. If the people of the United States all across America, in their churches and in their civic groups and in their legislatures decide that they're not going to allow the Supreme Court to dominate their lives in the fashion that it has been in this nation, the Supreme Court does not have the power to change that. They are not going to be able to overturn the will of a hundred million American people. And I think the time has come that we throw off the shackles of this dictatorship that's been imposed upon us. "We had a war in 1776 that set us free from the shackles of the arbitrary rule of the British crown, and I think what's going on in Corbin, Kentucky, boy, those people like to live free. And I think the time has come that we do that..."
