In Educational Entrepreneurship Today, Frederick M. Hess and
Michael Q. McShane assemble a diverse lineup of high-profile
contributors to examine the contexts in which new initiatives in
education are taking shape. They inquire into the impact of
entrepreneurship on the larger field-including the development and
deployment of new technologies-and analyze the incentives,
barriers, opportunities, and tensions that support or constrain
innovation. Over the past decade, entrepreneurship has moved from
the periphery to the center of education reform. Policy measures,
philanthropic support, and venture capital increasingly promote
initiatives that drive innovation within and outside the
traditional education sector. These initiatives have included
spectacular successes, like Khan Academy, Teach For America, and
Wireless Generation, as well as highly visible failures, like the
InBloom data warehouse. Educational Entrepreneurship Today offers
critical perspectives on the impact of entrepreneurship and also
includes lessons from leading entrepreneurs, in which they use case
studies drawn from their own experience to illustrate the realities
of leading disruptive change in education and pose guiding
questions for the next generation of innovators. In a time of
increasing polarization around education policy, this timely,
frank, and insightful volume shows how we can begin to create
systems in which entrepreneurial ideas and fresh thinking are
welcomed, constructively employed, and held accountable for the
public good.
