Abstract:
The only handbook of its kind to bring together materials from a wide range of authoritative works, providing the reader with a comprehensive overview of reform in American education. Are the institutions of the American educational system up to the task of passing the current presidential administration's performance-based testing, or are they a dinosaur of a bureaucracy that won't be able to avoid extinction? Read Educational Reform and gain first-hand insight into the state of the changing classroom.
