Trani (principal of the Corbett School, a K-12 charter school in Oregon) and Irvine (vice president of PARC Resources, "a consulting firm focused on development specializing in working with tribes, nonprofits, and rural governments") provide advice on reforming the US school system. Their advice involves trimming the size of schools such that there is a 1-to-24 teacher/student ratio, adopting a continuous progress model that involves multi-age classes and maintains teacher-student relationships beyond single grade levels, properly meeting teacher resource needs, investing in teacher professional development, and focusing on tailored goals responsive to the needs of the community instead of seeking to implement a comprehensive curriculum.
