Excerpt from INTRODUCTION:

The Joint Committee on School Performance was established on the grounds that there is widespread public concern for the condition of school performance in Alaska. As one means for the legislature to fulfill its responsibility to maintain a system of public schools, the Committee was instructed to identify those subjects for priority legislative attention that might enable school performance to be improved. To accomplish this task it first was necessary to find out what really is in need of betterment. The Committee has been going about this job by holding public hearings, attending professional education association meetings, confering with school and university personnel, meeting with the state board of education, reviewing the literature and holding internal work sessions. Much of what we have learned about schooling is commendable, but we have also determined that all districts need to rethink some of their approaches to school improvement
