"Enlightening, insightful, practical, and evidence based. A much-needed masterful guide for traversing the bewildering and tough education policy terrain." --Yong Zhao, Ph. D., author of Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon: Why China Has the Best (and Worst) Education System in the World"Our democracy thrives when smart policy replaces bad policy. This book points us in that direction with a variety of chapters, viewpoints, critiques and, best of all, ideas about how to solve some of the pressing education policy issues of our times. A much-needed analysis of how we have been led astray and what we might do about it." --David C. Berliner, Regents’ Professor Emeritus of Education, Arizona State University
