Making the Grade

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the urgent need for educational reform, the book explores how contemporary changes impact what students need to learn and how schools can be held accountable. It challenges the current factory model of education, arguing that the most effective public schools today resemble 19th-century village schools. By examining the emergence of these "new village schools" over the past decade, the book presents them as prototypes for future educational models, offering surprising insights into successful teaching and learning practices.
