  • Interpreting the Fraser Institute Ranking of Secondary Schools in British Columbia
    INTERPRETING THE FRASER INSTITUTE RANKING OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF HOW THE MECHANICS OF SYMBOLIC CAPITAL MOBILIZATION SHAPES, MANAGES, AND AMPLIFIES VISIBILITY ASYMMETRIES BETWEEN SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL SYSTEMS by Michael John Simmonds M.Ed., Columbia University, 1998 M.A., McGill University, 1991 Diploma in Secondary Science Education, McGill University, 1989 B.P.E., University of New Brunswick, 1985 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF EDUCATION in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Educational Leadership and Policy) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) February 2012 © Michael John Simmonds, 2012 Abstract In the discourse on how to improve British Columbia’s secondary schools two prevailing epistemological tensions exist between two competing rationalities: (1) an instrumental rationality that privileges sense-making born out of data-gathering, and (2) a values- rationality that is discernibly more context-dependent. The seeds for public discord are sown when a particular kind of logic for capturing the complexity of any problematic is privileged over a competing (counter) logic attempting to do the same thing. The Fraser Institute proposes to the public a particular vision on how to improve secondary schools by manufacturing annual school report cards that are published in newspapers and online. Proponents of school report cards believe that school improvement is predicated on measurement, competition, market-driven reform initiatives, and choice. They support the strategies and techniques used by the Fraser Institute to demarcate the limits and boundaries of exemplary educational practice. Critics of school report cards object to the way ranking rubrics highlight and amplify differences that exist between schools.

School leaders around the world were largely unprepared for the challenge of educating their students with physical schools closed. Within two weeks of the school closures, CAIS recognized the need to ensure that the critical lessons from the COVID-19 crisis would be captured and embedded into long range planning for future disruptions. CAIS partnered with education thought leader and facilitator Grant Lichtman to develop a collaborative five-week program in which more than 100 participants representing 80 CAIS member schools joined. These participants self-selected into Deep Dive Teams to research and share findings mainly focused on our schools' academic and learning programs. The final report was issued in July.

School leaders were largely unprepared for the challenge of continuing to educate their students with physical schools closed. In North America, the response varied enormously. Many Canadian independent schools shifted their practices online within one-two weeks. Some were providing fully online classes in just a few days. Questions are now being raised, the answers to which are unclear in this unprecedented situation. What will we learn from this experience that will inform our practice as educators? What has this disruption taught us about the demands we will face as the rate of change accelerates? How must we shift our thinking and planning to ensure long-term sustainability? Within two weeks of the school closures, CAIS recognized the need to ensure that the critical lessons from the COVID-19 crisis would be captured and embedded into long range planning for future disruptions.

They are intended to make our communities healthier, stronger and more livable. If you are anything like me, you will read the following page (2012 By the Numbers) with a sense of wonder. Last year, more than 4,000 grants were made possible through your generosity, totaling more than $46 million. It’s amazing when you think about it...
