I&#8217;m grateful for\u00a0the opportunity to pick his brain about\u00a0some of the most involved\u00a0issues of\u00a0today&#8217;s K-12 education world. Read on to learn more about Smarick&#8217;s insights\u00a0on the (necessary) complexity of teacher evaluations, the potential impact (or lack of impact) of the Vergara lawsuit and what it will take to make the biggest educational gains for low income families.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #552988;\"><b>[KB] \u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span>What adjective would you use to describe the current state of American public education?<\/p>\n<p><b><strong><span style=\"color: #f3732c;\">[AS]<\/span><span style=\"color: #552988;\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I&#8217;ve been wrestling with this question a great deal<\/span> recently. Though I focus a good bit of my time on urban school issues, there is much to K-12 education beyond big cities. I think the results of urban K-12 have been tragic for half a century. But there are other geographic areas that also need attention\u00a0desperately, like much of rural America. Then there are the public schools in suburban and exurban areas about which, frankly, we know too little \u2013 even though they\u2019ve been subjected to recent statewide reforms like <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rsed.org\/2014\/07\/16\/rocketeers-blast-into-common-core-framework\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Core<\/a> and new teacher evaluation laws. I\u2019m trying to figure out which parts of our entire system need to be dramatically changed and which parts need to be jealously protected. I think reformers have generally done a poor job of disaggregating our school \u201csystem\u201d so we can understand its component parts and then apply targeted reforms as necessary and preserve other areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"im\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">[KB]<b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>You\u2019ve done work with teacher evaluation systems. What do you think are the key features of an effective evaluation system for public educators? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><span style=\"color: #f3732c;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #f3732c;\">[AS]<\/span><span style=\"color: #552988;\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/b>I think the wave of state laws that overhauled evaluation systems were necessary and directionally correct. I\u2019m a huge believer in including measures of student performance in educator evaluations. What I think those laws (and previous statutes and regulations, observation rubrics, etc.) haven\u2019t done as well as they might\u2019ve is articulating all of the important things great teachers do and creating measures for those things. Schools do more than generate test scores. They have civic responsibilities, they teach non-cognitive skills and on and on. I\u2019m deeply concerned that if we technocratically focus evaluation systems on a limited set of measures, we won\u2019t capture much of the value of schools and educators. I\u2019m by no means making excuses for schools or teachers that aren\u2019t helping kids learn basic skills. But I\u2019m also mindful that technocracy habitually ignores the stuff of social capital. Technocracy simplifies. Teaching is complex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"im\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><span style=\"color: #552988;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1076\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/techno.png?w=300\" alt=\"techno\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/techno.png 898w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/techno-300x204.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/techno-768x522.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>[KB]\u00a0<b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u00a0<\/b>When you look around the country, who are some of the most promising leaders in public education right now?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><span style=\"color: #f3732c;\"><strong>[AS] \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/b>The moment before an idea is understood to be groundbreaking, it\u2019s considered silly, unrealistic and unworkable. I\u2019m drawn to people who can see things that appear invisible to others or things that are lurking just over the horizon. Sometimes these ideas or lessons push us forward, sometimes they cause us to take stock; so this isn\u2019t just about big and new, it can also be about subtle and prudent. I\u2019ve been thinking recently in terms of the baseball sabermetric known as \u201cwins above replacement\u201d or \u201cWAR.&#8221; That measures how many games a team wins because of a particular player compared to how many they\u2019d win if that player were replaced by a rookie straight out of triple-A. I\u2019m asking myself, &#8220;Who are the people with the highest WAR \u2013 those who just can\u2019t be replaced without our field losing a great deal?&#8221; I\u2019d rather leave it at that rather than name-check people. But I\u2019ll say this, about eight to ten\u00a0folks come to mind, and they are dispersed in nonprofits, SEAs, foundations and a couple of other organizations. The last thing I\u2019ll add is this provocative point: I think our field\u2019s traditional skills-assessment and development approach to hiring and mentoring does a remarkably poor job of identifying and grooming these people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">[KB]\u00a0<b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span>\u00a0<\/b>What are some of the most exciting innovations you see happening in public education?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><b><span style=\"color: #f3732c;\"><strong>[AS]<\/strong><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span> \u00a0\u00a0I\u2019m probably too old to answer this with any credibility.

The most creative thinking is done by those who know enough about a field to be deeply informed but haven\u2019t been around long enough to assume some things always have to be a certain way. I\u2019m in the twilight days of that golden era. So I\u2019m cautious to weigh in on innovations. I\u2019ll produce too many false positives and false negatives \u2013 things that seem exciting to me might actually be too pedestrian; and things that seem unrealistic to me might actually be right on.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">[KB] \u00a0<\/span><\/b><b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b>The <a href=\"http:\/\/edexcellence.net\/articles\/10-things-to-know-about-the-vergara-decision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vergara verdict<\/a> has sent shockwaves around the education sector.

But if we see similar cases and decisions elsewhere, Vergara could be huge. Three implications are on my mind. First a good thing: it could change for the better critically important personnel rules across the nation. Second, a worrisome thing: it could invite court meddling in many other K-12 policies. Apart from the most egregious cases (e.g. racial segregation), the elected branches, not the courts, should be trusted with policy. Third, a huge question. Will the unions stubbornly fight to defend these antiquated policies state by state, or will new union leadership emerge understanding that to gloriously lose these court battles threatens the longterm viability of teachers&#8217; unions?<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><span style=\"color: #552988;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1075\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/edgains.png?w=300\" alt=\"edgains\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/edgains.png 898w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/edgains-300x204.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rocketshipschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/edgains-768x522.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>[KB]<b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>What do you see as the greatest differentiator between public schools and public charter schools?<b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><span style=\"color: #f3732c;\"><strong>[AS] \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/b>Charter schools are public schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">[KB]\u00a0<b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>What do you think is next for blended learning?

Is blended generating better achievement results? Is it helping teachers become more effective and efficient? Is it actually enabling better differentiation? Is it freeing up funding for other important purposes?

The shift to common standards represents a massive break with tradition. I worry that we went about this change too cavalierly. Big, swift, technocratic changes seldom end well. I hope states, districts and schools can implement these standards well, because if history is any guide, there are gobs of unintended consequences right around the corner. The upsides of this transition better outweigh the downsides, or Common Core will go down as another K-12 cautionary tale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">[KB]<b><span style=\"color: #552988;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>At Rocketship, one of our core values is <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rsed.org\/category\/engaged-parents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">engaged parents<\/a>.

We\u2019ll make our biggest gains as a movement when we stop telling low-income families where their kids have to go to school and instead make a wide array of options available to them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/smarick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Follow Andy on Twitter: @smarick<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial;\"><em>Kevin works on the Rocketship Network Support Team and is the Editor of Beyond.
