At a time of bitter national polarization, there is a critical need
for leaders who can help us better communicate with one another. In
A Search for Common Ground, Rick Hess and Pedro Noguera, who have
often fallen on opposing sides of the ideological aisle over the
past couple of decades, candidly talk through their differences on
some of the toughest issues in K-12 education today-from school
choice to testing to diversity to privatization. They offer a
sharp, honest debate that digs deep into their disagreements,
enabling them to find a surprising amount of common ground along
the way. Written as a series of back-and-forth exchanges, this
engaging book illustrates a model of responsible, civil debate
between those with substantial, principled differences. It is also
a powerful meditation on where 21st-century school improvement can
and should go next. Book Features: Modeling dialogue: Rick and
Pedro provide a model for how to sort through complicated issues
and find common ground in today's atmosphere of distrust.
Deliberate, sustained exchange: Rick and Pedro demonstrate how
deliberate, sustained reflection allows them to respectfully flesh
out differences and sharpen their own thoughts. Left and Right
Politics: Rick (generally Right) and Pedro (generally Left) offer a
window into where they do and don't agree on education and point
the way to principled cooperation. Readable and conversational:
Rather than pushing a partisan agenda, Rick and Pedro have crafted
a stimulating read for education newcomers and experts alike.
Unique approach: While other books about the different sides of the
education debates simply present paired essays, Rick and Pedro
actually engage with each other to strive for a deeper
understanding of their differences.
