The United States and China: two nations drastically different in
demographics, history, political structures, and education systems.
Despite these differences, educators in each country have
discovered they have much to learn from one another. The United
States looks east and is captivated by the high assessment scores
that many Chinese students achieve. China looks west and is
enamored with how the United States fosters innovation and
creativity in students. Teachers are increasingly looking across
borders to expand, adapt, and offer their students a more balanced
education. West Meets East is based on the fundamental premise that
strong teaching is at the heart of educational quality and that we
all benefit from understanding the practices and professional
thinking of exemplary teachers. With this in mind, Grant and her
colleagues set out to discover which beliefs and strategies of
effective teachers can cross the cultural divide and help students
in each nation make breakthrough advances. As educators, it's
important to understand that even though we're setting new goals
and improving outcomes, excellence is a moving target. In the
globally connected 21st century, educational innovations in one
country can reset the bar for students around the world. Only by
learning from one another can we be sure all our students remain
competitive and successful.
