In his book Teaching Genius: Redefining Education with Lessons from Science and Philosophy, Chris Edwards contends that '[teachers] should not be viewed as individuals who adopt systems, but as professionals who are invited to shape and advance their field.' This is a radical shift away from top-down reform efforts that place teachers in passive roles. Edwards directs teachers to deepen their content knowledge and experiment with different methodologies then publish their successes, much like university professors do. Edwards’ book places teachers back where they should be in the school-reform movement: empowered problem solvers working to do what is best to improve student learning.
