Making the Grade

"Making the Grade represents the beginning of an overdue public dialogue: How can today's schools - and schools of the future - respond to sweeping societal changes if they remain mired in an obsolete system?". "Wagner outlines ways that communities, government, teachers, parents, and students can begin a dialogue about how to enact meaningful school changes - reinventions that call for community involvement in setting educational standards and ensuring that all students are successful as citizens and productive workers."--BOOK JACKET.
