Definition of an
Effective School
“An Effective School is one in which all the
students learn the specified curriculum
regardless of factors in their backgrounds
which have ordinarily been identified as
those which prevent such learning.”
—Lawrence Lezotte
—Learning for All
F-10
FOUNDATION
“We can, whenever and wherever we
want, successfully teach all children
whose schooling is of interest to us.
We already know more than we need to
do that.
Whether or not we do it must depend on
how we feel about the fact that we
haven’t so far.”
—Ron Edmonds
