The actual wayn to real education reforms

An interesting wide-minded book. The authors ask the great frustration question: Why all the educational reforms did`nt success in the American`s schools? Their conclusion are: "To reform our schools we need not only new programs but a new vision of education itself". The authors take example from the american industry, and call for holistic work:"A process of research, development, and redesign can build into schools as the framework for a system of continuous innovation". The book readable and interesting - despite the long descriptions of the cases: educationals and industerials.
