Title Addicted to reform : a 12-step program to rescue public education / John Merrow.
Published New York : The New Press, 2017.
Collation 277 pages ; 22 cm.
Summary Note "Now, the revered education correspondent of 'PBS NewsHour' distills his best thinking on education into a twelve-step approach to fixing a K-12 system that Merrow describes as being 'addicted to reform' but nevertheless unwilling to address the real issue: American public schools are ill-equipped to prepare young people for the challenges of the twenty-first century. This insightful book looks at how to turn digital natives into digital citizens and why it should be harder to become a teacher but easier to be one. Merrow offers smart, essential chapters - including 'Measure what matters, ' and 'Embrace teachers' - that reflect his countless hours spent covering classrooms as well as corridors of power. His signature candid style of reportage comes to life as he shares lively anecdotes, schoolyard tales, and memories that are at once instructive and endearing." - Book jacket.
