Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A plan for school reform that respects the best traditions of secondary schooling and urges us to do far more in preparing adolescents for the future. This influential work on education policy provides a blueprint for change: Personalized Learning: Why the traditional model fails, and how restructuring teacher loads to eighty students or fewer is the key to knowing--and truly teaching--every child.

Thoughtful Schools: A vision for transforming schools from impersonal institutions into thoughtful, decent communities where intellectual habits are nurtured and respected.…
