(please propose at least three strategies and elaborate on them)3. What approaches would you propose to your future educational policy makers (state/district level) to “de-segregate” our schools and to promote the communications among parents, teachers, and community. (please propose at least three strategies and elaborate on them)In a large, inner city neighborhood, an elementary/middle school principal faced a serious problem.  Her teachers had implemented a variety of assessments including performances, portfolios, presentations, projects, research papers, and so on.  Students seemed to respond well to these different measures, and grades went up.  Parents and teachers alike were pleased with these assessment efforts until the district-wide standardized test results were published.  Surprisingly, the scores for students in grades four through eight stayed the same.  There was little improvement in the reported scores compared with scored from the prior year.  Because the inner-city school scored lower than the district average, it was placed on a watch list.  The local papers decried the school’s instruction and demanded change.4. What are some of the reasons that could account for the supposed improvement in students’ grades even though the standardized tests showed little achievement growth?5. What do you think the principal of the school could do in response to the negative publicity?  What suggestions would you give to the principal to change the things around?6. What is your response to the statement of “teaching to the tests” if parents raised the issue?  Please elaborate. (Do you believe that teachers and principals should be sanctioned or rewarded on the basis of standardized tests? Why or why not?)7. What would you suggest to the principal in regard to some “bullying incidents” OR “violence incidents” happened in the school? A proposal of concrete strategies.
