Americans have seen it all in education over the last twenty years:
charter schools, vouchers, private schools, ever-changing sets of
technology, increased funding for schools, decreased funding for
schools, accountability measures for teachers, and on and on. These
schemes never seem to make any real changes in student outcomes.
This is because the obsolete educational system is simply not
compatible with what we now know about how students learn and how
teachers are developed and sustained. Beyond Obsolete: How to
Upgrade Classroom Practice and School Structure delves into the
history of Western Civilization, shows how a misunderstanding of
this history informs our current educational system, and then makes
a broad argument for a full-scale upgrade in teacher practice (the
software) and school structure (the hardware). If educational
reform is to be achieved, then superintendents, assistant
superintendents, principals, assistant principals etc. will have to
be declared obsolete. Education will have to move beyond them into
a new era where teachers are the educational leaders in their field
and their classroom practice is compatible with learning theory.
