Synopsis

Technology can revolutionize schools ??? if we let it Imagine a cyber-school in an old steel mill where students from distant cities log in to learn. Or a Midwest charter school with state-of-the-art learning labs, where kids use laptops to manage their work. Here, learning happens across time zones, teachers are entrepreneurs, and innovation is commonplace. But for the majority of schools, this reality is blocked by politics-as-usual and untouchables such as teachers' unions. The authors challenge us to make much-needed changes--or be left in the dust of the global economy. Terry M. Moe (Stanford, CA) is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and professor of political science at Stanford University. John E. Chubb (Short Hills, NJ), formerly senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, is now Managing Director of ???The Edison Learning Institute.
