It's Time for a Change School Reform for the Next Decade

"It's Time for a Change: School Reform for the Next Decade suggests that rather than "playing the blame game," educators, educational leaders, politicians, parents, and citizens need to work together to find innovative ways to reform our K-12 educational system. In the coming decades, will we choose to continue with the status quo-pushing through reforms that have been proven to fail? Or will our great country learn from its mistakes, create meaningful reform, and retain its superpower status? It's Time for a Change offers a blueprint for educational reform, not only for the present but also for the decades to come. If we simply work together, we can restore the U.S.educational system to its former preeminence and give all children the bright futures they deserve. We must become the change that we have been waiting for. Book jacket.
