After the Education Wars explains how the market-based measures and carrot-and-stick incentives informing todays reforms are out of sync with the nurturing culture that good schools foster and-contrary to popular belief-at odds with the best practices of thriving twenty-first-century companies as well.These rich, detailed stories of real reform in action illustrate how enduring change must be deeply collaborative and relentlessly focused on improvement from the grass roots up-lessons also learned from both the open-source software and quality movements. The good news is that solutions born of this philosophy are all around us: from Brockton, Massachusetts, where the states once-failing largest high school now sends most graduates to college, to Leander, Texas, a large district where school improvement, spurred by the ideas of quality guru W. Edwards Deming, has become a way of life.A welcome exception to the doom-and-gloom canon of education reform, After the Education Wars makes clear that whats needed is not more grand ideas, but practical and informed ways to grow the best ones that are already transforming schools.
