- Summary:
- Elected on a platform of hope and change, President Obama inherits a world of problems-notably, an economy in crisis-which will clearly affect the pace and scale of reform. This book provides background on key points in President Obama's education plan: articles on key educational issues, stories of innovative practice, commentaries on controversial topics, and advice from key educational leaders. These will provide valuable insights on the complex issues at hand as Obama's proposals are debated, legislated, and implemented in the years to come.
- Education Week is America's education newspaper of record. For over 25 years, Education Week has had a significant impact on the school reform debate through its focused and nuanced coverage and its continuing role as a forum for the exchange of important ideas in education.
