School Reform

Opportunities for Excellence and Equity for Individuals with Learning Disabilities

Betty J. Ward

Educational Consultant Ward's LAB PO Box 882 Royse City, TX 75189

The newly articulated goals for education in the United States, many of which are set forth in America 2000: An Education Strategy, cannot be achieved without important school reform. The National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities (NJCLD) joins with others in calling for school reform and for the development of strategies to improve education. The NJCLD urges that the needs of students at risk for school failure, including those with learning disabilities, be addressed when setting new goals, policies, and practices. This is essential if schools are to meet the diverse learning needs of these students, optimize their achievement, and ensure effective educational outcomes. To ignore the abilities and potentially rich contributions of students with learning disabilities will create imbalance and inequity within the educational system, restrict the quality of life for individuals, and diminish the nation's competitive status within a global economy.
