You are about to read the Indiana P-16 Plan
for Improving Student Achievement as published by
the Indiana edRoundtable. Before you read it we would
like to offer our suggested education plan for your
consideration. After you have finished reading the
P-16 Plan please compare the two and email us your
final judgment. We think:
A Successful Education Plan Must:
Improve student academic education. (This is
the primary goal and must be the main subject throughout
any plan.)
Reduce remedial education rates throughout the
education system.
Recognize teacher competence. (Return teachers
to professional status.)
Return to the pre-1995 ISTEP test.
Require no new governmental structures.
Reduce managerial overhead.
That’s all there is to it.
It doesn’t require new expenses or tax increases.
It is self-explanatory.
