Ted Kolderie’s new book, Creating the Capacity for Change: How and Why Governors and Legislatures Are Opening a New School Sector in Public Education calls into question the assumption that the country can create the schools it wants by changing the schools it has. He says making incremental changes will not produce new schools. It never has in the past and the forces of status quo will prevent it in the future. The answer: start over with brand-new schools. It’s the only way to get the schools we want for the 21st-century.
The book is free while supplies last by e-mailing the author at tkolderie@qwest.net or downloading it online from the Education Evolving website, which has much interesting reading.
