This book answers the questions on what must be done to meet the educational goals required to maintain our democratic form of government, provide the knowledge and skills required for our free enterprise system, and to give each individual, as Lincoln said, “an unfettered start and fair change in the race of life.” The old cliché, outside the box, represents major changes and needed re-imagination of what education in our country must do to remain viable. No one has a magic wand to make such improvements just happen. What is needed is revolutionary program interventions that result in what all thinking citizens in America seek, a public school education program that is the best of all worlds.

Dr. M. Scott Norton is a former school teacher, coordinator of curriculum, assistant superintendent and superintendent of schools. He has served as professor and vice-chairman of the Department of Educational Administration and Supervision at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and as professor and chairman of the Department of Educational Administration and Policy Studies at Arizona State University where he serves as professor emeritus.

Creating an educational system that enables every young person growing up in the United States of America to become a well-adjusted, productive, safe and fulfilled citizen should—no MUST—be the focal point of every politician, business person, parent, spiritual leader and educator concerned about the future of our country, as well as we have heard may times over, “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” Consequently, Scott Norton’s challenge to re-imagine (educating our youth) ‘outside the proverbial box’ represents a challenge to all of us to prepare America’s most prized and precious natural resource, its youth, for a rapidly changing, for all practical purposes, unknown future. Education as the Best of All World, takes the reader down new and untried pathways toward identifying, developing and implementing the tools, techniques and resources needed to equip our youth for that future. Norton’s unique writing style ensures this work as one that bypasses the usual educational jargon while at the same time holds the reader’s interest in each chapter.
