Product Description
This inspiring author moves beyond criticism of public education, uniting readers toward a vision of educating children that is holistic, intelligent, and empowering. Written for parents, teachers, administrators, students, and policymakers committed to children and change, this book offers better alternatives to high-stakes testing. Vivid classroom stories show how education is enriched through individual personal attention—not uniformity. Engel introduces novel school collaborative accountability models ensuring academic integrity and excellence on behalf of students, teachers, and our communities.
Uniquely engaging and surprisingly entertaining, Engel’s combination of storytelling and research findings offers a comprehensive guide to cultivating future generations of problem solvers and leaders.
