In this insightful collection, DeCoker and his colleagues explore
the implications of a national U.S. curriculum through the study of
Japanese education. The authors suggest that the U.S. educational
system lacks certain organizational mechanisms that support student
achievement and would facilitate teacher involvement in the
educational reform process. Presenting important implications for
American education, this volume features:
-- A comprehensive look at national standards in Japan, from
their development at the Ministry of Education to their
implementation in the classroom.
-- A highly regarded group of U.S. and Japanese scholars who
provide well-written, jargon-free text appropriate for many
audiences.
-- Detailed descriptions and intriguing analyses of education
policy, textbooks and other curricular materials, professional
development, and the relationship between the public and private
sectors in Japan and the United States.
-- An epilogue by Thomas Rohlen containing his analysis of
educational reform efforts in both countries, his description of
the symbiotic relationship between the two educational systems, and
his predictions for the future of public education as technological
change and global market capitalism extend private sector
initiatives beyond national borders.
