NESI TIPSheet 4: Educate the Top 100% of Students

This New Era School Initiative (NESI) TIPSheet 4 offers a school objective consistent with national recognition of a local educator. The target is the NESI first principle, a one point checklist: “Instructional failure is not an option.”

Josh Keller reports that President Barack Obama has nominated Martha J. Kanter as Under Secretary of Education.

I see it very simply,” Ms. Kanter says of her philosophy as an educator. “Educate the top 100 percent.”

She’s someone, said Sarah Snow, now a Stanford University student, “… who sees someone’s potential and will trust them to do the work.”

Kanter champions open educational resources, an effort to make college textbooks and other instructional materials available free online.

She thinks there are more ways to scale up and make more available ways that work for student learning.
