Shirley McCune

Shirley McCune works under Terry Bergeson at the Washington Office of Superintendent of Instruction as OSPI’s federal liaison of learning and teaching, which is concerned with the use of the WASL with No Child Left Behind. The WASL is a controversial test which originally promised that all seniors will get a world-class diploma by 2008, but as of 2006 instead promised that half of all students and three-quarters of minority students would not get diplomas if they did not pass the WASL by 2008.

Comments on education
Shirley McCune has said: “The issue for most children and the issue for society, is that what is changed in education today, is that we no longer see the teaching of facts and information as the primary outcome of education.”
Washington parents have asked in return, what then is the primary outcome of education?

Books written
McCune is also an author. She co-wrote the book The Light Shall Set You Free, in which she channels a spirit named Kuthumi and talks about being admitted to a fifth dimension.

McCune has co-authored the book, Possibilies Schools, with Robert Carkhuff. McCune used her position as Assistant Superintendent to acquire state funds to purchase copies of her book and have them distributed to school districts across the state.

Other books authored by McCune include:

*Guide to Strategic Planning for Educators
*The Possibilities Schools : A Blueprint for Education Capital in the 21st Century
*Women's rights,: A force for educational equity
