| Zusammenfassung: | Making Change propels readers into the heart of the most radical school reform initiative our nation has ever witnessed. In 1990, the Kentucky legislature took the unprecedented step of declaring its public school system "unconstitutional" and ratified the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA). Widely considered America's great hope for school reform, KERA dared to suggest that one of the worst state school systems in the country could become one of the best. But such massive systemic social reform always carries a steep price, and it's people who pay it. Holly Holland, an award-winning journalist who has specialized for a decade in writing about the intricacies of public education, takes us to a small Kentucky community gripped by the kind of change society both demands and fears. Here we meet three key players in the state's battle for better schools - a teacher, a principal, and a superintendent. These educators believe passionately in the need for school change and place the state's aims at the very center of their lives. Each tells a compelling story filled with poignancy and drama. Each could not imagine how the effort to change a system would gradually, inexorably, change them. Making Change takes place in one American town, but it provides valuable insights and clear implications for every community in our nation. |
