Abstract
The continuing failure to distinguish change from change with improvement punishes teachers and students alike, particularly diverse learners––children of poverty, students with disabilities, children with limited English proficiency. As the portion of diverse learners in America’s schools grows, so too are the demands and expectations for student achievement. Education is not meeting these challenges, in large part because education lacks the infrastructure of other professions, i.e., supports and controls from the profession, from government bodies, and from independent, external groups. This underdeveloped infrastructure diminishes the role of rational, scientifically supported methods, with other groups dominating the field. A rational process of transforming education is briefly described, as are the attendant changes in the relationship among the groups that control American education.
