Recenzii
Contemplating the array of issues facing education in the US keeps many policy makers awake at night. Dr. Wentland's writings provide a candid look at why we should rethink strategies, pressures, and conceptual understanding of what our country really needs in its schools. If we are to regain a leadership role in ensuring an educational system built on excellence for all communities, exploring new ways of thinking about the educational endeavor, as detailed by Dr. Wentland, is critical.
Our schools are of this world, not separate from it. Today's students will need to be civil, employable, entrepreneurial, curious, and resilient, among other things. This book extends our thinking about what happens today and how it helps to shape tomorrow's reality.
Daniel Wentland does a skillful job of meshing economics, psychology, philosophy and common sense in proposing a pathway for leaders to follow if they really want to improve education in America. Refusing to bow down to the false god of politics in designing schools that work, Dr. Wentland dares his readers to envision an American school system that is responsive, effective and respectful. His blueprint for change is one that needs to be listened to by education policy makers and practitioners.
As an educator, Dr. Wentland clearly articulates valuable strategies that focus on education not politic as the vehicle for school success. His evidently logical points focus on the long term viability of our educational system. This information is useful and timely to maximize positive learning outcomes for a new generation of students
