Improve Schools and Transform Education In order for educational
systems to change, we must reevaluate deep-seated beliefs about
learning, teaching, schooling, and race that perpetuate inequitable
opportunities and outcomes. Hatch, Corson, and Gerth van den Berg
challenge the narrative when it comes to the "grammar of
schooling"--or the conventional structures, practices, and beliefs
that define educational experiences for so many children-to cast a
new vision of what school could be. The book addresses current
systemic problems and solutions as it: Highlights global examples
of successful school change Describes strategies that improve
educational opportunities and performance Explores promising
approaches in developing new learning opportunities Outlines
conditions for supporting wide-scale educational improvement This
provocative book approaches education reform by highlighting what
works, while also demonstrating what can be accomplished if we
redefine conventional schools. We can make the schools we have more
efficient, more effective, and more equitable, all while creating
powerful opportunities to support all aspects of students'
development. "You won't find a better book on system change in
education than this one. We learn why schools don't change; how
they can improve; what it takes to change a system; and, in the
final analysis, the possibilities of system change. Above all, The
Education We Need renders complexity into clarity as the writing is
so clear and compelling. A powerful read on a topic of utmost
importance." ~Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus, OISE/Universtiy
of Toronto "I cannot recommend this book highly enough - Tom
tackles long-standing and emerging educational issues in new ways
with an impressive understanding of the challenging complexities,
but also feasible possibilities, for ensuring excellence and equity
for all students." ~Carol Campbell, Associate Professor, Ontario
Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto
