MAKING SCHOOLS WORK with Hedrick Smith is a two-hour
prime-time PBS special that originally aired nationwide on Oct.
5, 2005 from 9:00-11:00 pm. The program profiles several different
approaches to individual school reform at the elementary, middle and high
school levels and in different regions, as well as district-wide reforms
in three major American cities. All are examples of effective school reform
with proven academic gains, at scale and over several years. Here is the
line-up:
Hour One – Four individual school reform models
with excellent results and diversity of approach: Success for All; Comer
School Development Program; KIPP: Knowledge is Power Program; and High
Schools That Work.
Hour Two – Three examples of district-wide reform:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg; former District 2 in New York City, now a part
of the much larger citywide school district; and San Diego.
Academic experts comment on gains and shortfalls of various reform strategies.
Our list of experts include Michael Casserly from Council of the Great
City Schools, Kati Haycock from The Education Trust, Warren Simmons of
the Annenberg Institute of School Reform at Brown University, Steve Fleischman
from American Institutes for Research, and Lauren Resnick from the Institute
for Learning at the University of Pittsburgh.
