• W243567629 abstract "FROM THE TIME he took office, Tony Blair has taken a bolder approach to reform than anyone expected of a Labour prime minister. He led a profound change in British elementary and secondary education, showing that his Way, which transforms public services by mixing in large dollops of private action, is alive and well. Potential U.S. education presidents and education governors, especially Democrats, have a lot to learn from Blair. In education, Blair adopted Nixon goes to China strategy, taking initiatives no one would have expected from leader of his party. Rather than rejecting Margaret Thatcher's moves to devolve funding to schools and weaken unions and local authorities (read districts), he built on them. Rather than pandering to those traditional bastions of his Labour Party, Blair moved them out of way so schools could be redesigned around hopes of families and demands of world economy. To date, no U.S. Democrat interested in has booked a Blair-style trip to China, though some will look at travelogues. Bexley Business Academy ONE RESULT OF Blair's initiative is Bexley Business Academy secondary in far southeast London, beyond Thames Surge Barrier. Bexley is a brand-new school, built on ashes of Thamesmead School, which was known as school of its area. Set in an area of council (read public) housing, Thamesmead would have fit comfortably in East St. Louis: graffiti and fighting in halls, intimidation of teachers, checked-out older teachers, and younger ones leaving as soon as they could find another job. The average student was absent nearly two days a week, and fewer than one in 20 could pass five exams needed for university admission. Blair's Third Way--and pictures of Blair himself--are evident everywhere at Bexley. When he and private sponsor and real estate tycoon Sir David Garrard cut ribbon to open new building, Blair called Bexley the future of British education. At Bexley, a new in every way, private funding mixes seamlessly with government support, and people from government and private sector work side by side. In addition to a new [pounds sterling]30 million building ($54 million at today's exchange rates), designed by a private company that transforms failed schools, and for which Garrard donated [pounds sterling]2.5 million, Bexley has a new principal, considered best in area. The is free to select only best teachers who apply and has a young teaching staff including five recent university graduates sponsored by Teach First, a Teach for America clone. Nothing is left of old sink school. The new building--a three-story cube with laboratories and classrooms open and visible around a central core, along with a huge wall containing two-foot-square closeup photos of all 1,000 students--says place is about you. Teachers and students in their laboratories and classrooms see one another engaged in earnest work; this is a place for learning, with no time for anything else. Students who attended Thamesmead say they are living in a new world, one where they can take seriously without being called nerds and where there is no place for noise, disruption, or intimidation. As principal Tom Widdows says, was designed to give children a look at a life that is different in almost every way from rough neighborhoods in which they live. It works because of serious student orientation to Bexley way, uniforms that would look smart in a wealthy prep school, and instant teacher intervention to stop disruptive behavior. The operates 12 hours each day, giving students a place to study and socialize from early morning to past dinnertime. Like America's successful Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) and Cristo Rey schools, which are making a big difference in inner-city Chicago, Houston, New York, and other big cities, Bexley wraps community center and parish around school. …" @default.
