Generation Schools
United States of America
As student needs grow more diverse the challenge of one teacher addressing each child s learning needs becomes nearly impossible. Yet today s instruction still occurs primarily in a roomful of children taught by a single teacher. Despite decades of reform strategies reading levels and math proficiency for students have remained alarmingly low within American public schools. Based on the principle that people learn best in small groups where they can benefit from more individual attention and customized lessons Generation Schools proposes a new school model that reduces the teacher to student ratio to 16 without increasing the current per pupil spending levels. Located in New York City Generation Schools introduces an innovative staffing structure that includes both veteran lead teachers who serve as content experts (e.g. math social studies) and a corps of new teachers who rotate with their students throughout the day. Proposed to launch in New York City as a charter public school Generation Schools' long term vision is a national network of independently managed schools based on this model.
