Additional text

From the opening pages of the book, Making Education in America the Best of All Worlds, Dr. Scott Norton centers on the re-imagining of America’s educational system. From the outset, he carefully uncovers and discusses both the expressed successes and failures of education that have been set forth historically in the literature. The crucial need for major re-thinking of teacher and administrator preparation programs, school programming that effectively responds to the growing culture and social issues facing the nation, and the community’s collaborative involvement in the development of policy and practices is interestingly presented. The special features of the book include primary chapter goals, participative questions and quizzes, case studies and specific recommendations that keep the reader totally engaged in the “new thinking” of the discussions. This book is not just another reform book for it focuses on the re-imagining of new and challenging ways for making education in America truly the best of all worlds.
