AECT: ORLANDO 2005*

Charles Reigeluth, Jerry Kemp, Trey Martindale, and a number of past presidents of AECT presented a session at AECT on systemic change. The session was described in the AECT presentations list in this manner:

'President's Perspectives on the Direct Role of AECT for Improving American Education'

Description: Continuing shortcomings in American education are well documented. Common solutions, including the NCLB federal program provide disconnected, ineffective results. Educators need help to transform their system to a more effective learner-centered paradigm of education for the Information era. Past Presidents of AECT share their perspectives about the roles that AECT and its members can play in the systemic change process for school leadership and teaching/learning functions in conjunction with a systematic method of instructional planning for effectively accomplishing educational goals for all students.

AECT 2005, Orlando, FL - Decatur Session

District-wide Systemic Transformation in the Decatur School District: A Progress Report and Research Studies'

Description: Research provides growing evidence that we need a better understanding of the process of transforming schools and districts. The objectives of this concurrent session are: (1) to present the results of four formative research studies on the transformation process and (2) to engage the audience in discussion of issues related to their systemic change experiences.
