One of the major domestic policy issues of our time is whether our
nation can provide a more effective educational experience for our
children. Economists have stressed that the quality of our
educational system eventually defines the ability of our workforce,
which in turn affects our competitive position in the world market.
This issue has earned increasing attention in light of recent
reports that students in many nations perform at higher levels of
educational competence than children in America's schools.
Inspiring Greatness in Education describes the 21st Century Schools
program (21C), a whole-school reform model developed by Edward
Zigler over 20 years ago and since then has been in a constant
state of testing, implementation, and scaling up. The goal of 21C
is to promote optimal child development, which should become
manifest in sound educational performance. In practice, 21C
provides preschool education as well as good-quality child care
before and during the school years, in combination with a number of
other family supports. This book will provide an in-depth case
study examination of the experience of the Independence School
District in Independence, Missouri. The Independence School
District embraced School of the 21st Century concepts in 1988,
becoming the first urban school district in the nation to do so.
This book reveals and documents Independence School District's
success as a national model for 21C programming, as well as the
experiences, testimonials and opinions of parents, students,
teachers, administrators and community officials. By focusing on
the impetus and history of the 21C concept, its organic evolution
and its applications at the Independence School District, this book
is designed to inform, educate, and inspire all who read it and to
serve as a model for other school districts that want to achieve
similar successes.
