The Power of Systems Thinking Applied to Educational Reform

I just became aware of the Brookings Institute, thanks to a posting, by Rebecca Winthrop (https://www.brookings.edu/initiative/center-for-universal-education-at-brooking/), Senior Fellow and Director, at the Center for Universal Education. I read several of their research reports, and found them comprehensive and insightful, particularly those addressing educational reform from a systems perspective. The InQ platform, based on EdMetrix7™  that we have developed for addressing full educational reform (drpeat.com), is a tool that addresses the multiple factors which contribute to educational quality as detailed in the Brookings papers. I highly recommend that those of you interested in Educational Reform take the time to read their research reports, view their tools and reflect on how to implement their recommendations.
