Sizer’s Recommendations for
·
Small schools or small, fully autonomous units withing large buildings.
·
Clustering of teachers in core subjects to enable
teachers to work together and to know the same students. This would also enable subject integration.
·
Reduce the number of students that a teacher has to
get to know to half of the typical 120 e.g. through block scheduling.
·
Pulic exhibitions, portfolios and other forms of
demanding “authentic assessment.”
·
Expectation that all teachers have concern for the
full academic program for every student.
