Bob McRae calls the pro- gram the most "exciting ever" for the local schools. Because of a changing society and changing expectations for the schools, the schools need to change, said Lezotte, who said that most people don't like change but he asked each teacher in the audi- ence to initiate some change in their classroom next year. "School improvement is like a journey with a destination, a means of travel and a map," he said, pointing to the characteristics of an effective school as a safe and orderly envi- ronment, climate of high expecta- tions for success, instructional leadership, clear and focused mis- sion, opportunity to learn and time on task, frequent monitoring of stu- dent progress and positive hom- e¢/school relations. Over the stage of Barnes Auditorium was the big banner,"Teaching for Learning" which the program emphasized. The yellow A-plus buttons wom by each workshop attendee meant that A stands for all children and plus means nothing is left untumed. At year-end the participants get an A- plus. Lezotte, who has lectured on the subject of improvements in educa- tion in hundreds of schools across the country, said a commitment to do something different is the key to success of the program. "Enduring change tends to occur when neces- sity coincides with vision," he said. Calling 1991 "a rare moment in the history of education in the United States,” the former college professor said the word 'change" comes from all areas of society. "Is there a fire in the belly of educators here for reform in education?” he asked. Responding to the question, he said he could take his audience to such places "exceptions rather than the rule." "Step back and look at what you're doing. Don't be "dead". Times are changing," he ex- claimed. : "Today is the beginning of a fire in the belly in Kings Mountain and this force can begin with just a spark," said Lezotte, quoting from the book,"Three Faces of Power" in which Kenneth Bolding said that change comes about from sticks, carrots and hugs with the most powerful being a hug when people connect around shared val- ues.

Schools are unfocused when people pull in different directions, he said, previewing three movies which illustrate vividly his sub- ject. The movies are: "Fields of Dreams," "Dead Poet Society," and "Stand and Deliver." "It's the teachers obligation to struggle to get kids to believe in themselves," he said, noting that mountains are climbed by people who believe they can reach the top. Comparing a grandparent with a teacher, he said that grandparents reteach when they find their young ones aren't learning. He says, "don't give up on the kids." Schools are not now designed to teach all the kids, he said, but that's what the new program envisions and challenges. Inner City, Los Angeles, California is the setting for the SCHOOL BELLS From Page 1-A McRae said he had been notified by the city that the Fulton-Phifer Road intersection has been ap- proved for a stop light.

Why so much emphasis on test and test scores? Lezotte said that teachers need external standards to relate to the kids. "Don't say, do your homework because I'm in charge and I say so," he told the large group of teachers. Kids and teachers need to be tuned in to education and have high expectations, Lazotte chal- lenged teachers. "Don't be afraid of change,” he said. congestion. "But we're unclear on when ex- actly that will be funded,” he said. "It could be sometime down the road. We will continue to use a po- liceman out there, particularly in the busy times of the day, until we get a light in place."
