- Summary:
- One of the great challenges now facing education reformers in the United States is how to devise a consistent and intelligent framework for instruction that will work across the nation's notoriously fragmented and politically conflicted school systems. Improvement by Design looks at three different standards-based programs, seeking to understand why two succeeded in improving instructional practice and one did not. In the process, the authors identify four critical puzzles that successful programs were able to solve, getting America that much closer to better schools. Book jacket.
