This new book, from internationally renowned education scholar Pasi
Sahlberg and his colleagues, focuses on some of the most
controversial issues in contemporary education reform around the
world. The authors devote a chapter to each of these "hard
questions": Does parental choice improve education systems? Is
there a future for teacher unions? What is the right answer to the
standardized testing question? Can schools prepare children for the
21st-century workplace? Will technology save schools? Can anyone be
a teacher? Should higher education be for the public good? What
knowledge and skills should an educator have? Each educational
change question sheds much-needed light on today's large-scale
education policies and related reforms around the world. The
authors focus on what makes each question globally significant,
what we know from international research, and what can be inferred
from benchmark evidence. The final chapter offers a model for
policymakers with implications for teaching, learning, and
schooling overall. Book Features: An in-depth look at the most
contentious areas of contemporary education reform. Concrete
examples from across the globe. Commentary from key experts,
authorities, and organizations. A consistent, accessible
organization that will appeal to faculty and students. Lessons
learned that illuminate a good way forward to improve the
educational experience of all students.
