NGE is a quickly growing project. Last month it had one full time workgroup member and three contributing members. In the last month it has added three more contributing members and about 15 interested others who have various areas of expertise of interest to the project and contacts for many, many more. The NGE project is currently self-funded. Further discussion will determine if the project remains self-funding or begins to seek external funding.
Education is a two part process.
It consists of some form of instruction, and some form of student learning. Because of the weak link phenomenon, this means that education reform must attempt to improve instruction and to increase the influences for student learning . One without the other will not have the desired effect. Looking at the problem closer we find that it is more complex than that. When we want to improve the current state of education, partial gains can be made with the reform of either part.
