Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Michael W. Kirst discussed his more than forty years of work in national, state, local and academic issues in education. He looked at the problems he had seen in California’s education system, his work as president of the State Board of Education both in the late 1970s and since 2011, and his role at Stanford in shaping the School of Education which has recently been renamed the Stanford Graduate School of Education, and some of its courses. Kirst also talked about the problems of training, hiring and firing teachers, and whether early teacher tenure (for example, after two years of teaching) was a good idea. The union influence was strong, he noted.
