Our education system actively promotes holding schools, leaders and teachers at gunpoint for a very narrow set of test outcomes. We tell schools, leaders and teachers to make something happen or they will be miserable, jobless or a combination of both. School improvement is seen as school inspection. These schools don’t perform regular observations and monitoring, or fire out over-prescriptive performance policies. These systems don’t overburden schools with prescription and policy.
