Dr. Matthew Ladner Presentation on “The Florida Model for Education Reform”
Dr. Matthew Ladner of the Arizona-based Goldwater Institute presented on “The Florida Model for Education Reform” at the 2009 New Mexico Turnaround Conference last week. His powerpoint presentation provides a clear path forward for New Mexico. The answer: implementation of reforms undertaken in Florida including vouchers, tax credits, clear and firm state standards, a ban on social promotion, and alternative teacher certification (among others).
The results in terms of achievement have been astonishing and should provide a blueprint for New Mexico policymakers.
