>From Dave's post:


<<<<Based upon the article in the NSBA newsletter,


 http://www.nsba.org/sbn/sbn011299.htm#strengthen


this looks like the education establishment's backdoor way of advancing
their "reform" movement by ensuring that every teacher's college turns
out cookie-cutter reformers in the progressivist mold (or risks losing
its accreditation).>>>>


Congratulations, Dave!  You broke the code.


To add to this, the head of NCATE is the Kentucky Commissioner of
Education.  You will never find a more devoted radical reformer.  By the
way, he also head the committee trying to create the Clinton "voluntary"
tests.  And he holds big sway in the Council of Chief State School
Officers, too.  But, the NCATE position is by far the most powerful, in my
opinion.  


NCATE is rapidly taking over all teacher colleges, by the way -- a very
disturbing development.  


Let me hear some comments about how all of you "feel" about having Kentucky
style reform ideas pushed into your states via the accreditation of your
teaching school programs.  And, this is going on in every state.
