An invigorating examination of the potential for meaningful change
in education, from one of the nation's most astute observers of
schooling and school improvement. In The Great School Rethink,
education policy sentinel Frederick M. Hess offers a pithy and
perceptive appraisal of American schooling and finds, in the
uncertain period following pandemic disruption, an ideal moment to
reimagine US education. Now is the time, he asserts, to ask hard
questions about how schools use time and talent, how they work with
parents, what they do with digital tools, and how they meet the
needs of their communities. As Hess explains, to rethink is to
acknowledge the realities of the education system while opening
one’s mind to possibility. With characteristic verve and wit,
Hess guides readers through his rethink process, a versatile and
easily implemented approach to identifying issues and brainstorming
possible responses. He encourages readers to explore what
improvements might alleviate current pressures and frustrations,
such as teacher shortages and burnout, declining student
performance, and compromised learning time. Whether their goal is
to achieve better student engagement, increase parent involvement,
or implement personalized learning, readers will develop the
mindset to ask the right questions, to fully understand the problem
that’s being solved, and to evaluate the probable effectiveness
of proposed solutions. Brimming with challenging questions, robust
exercises, and eye-opening data, this book is a must-read for
education professionals, parent advocates, and anyone passionate
about the future of American education.
