education and reference,education theory,history,reform and policy,schools and teaching, New Schools for a New Century is a collection of 10 essays that examine educational reform from many different perspectives. There is, for example, the Edison Project, a for-profit venture that now operates in a dozen different locations. Edison Project schools emphasize the school as a community in which students and teachers remain together for several years, and teachers have time for teaching instead of being forced to shoulder administrative burdens. At the opposite end of the spectrum is the Catholic school model. In her essay, Valerie E. Lee discusses why Catholic schools have a greater success rate, even with the poorest, most disadvantaged students, than their public-school counterparts. According to Lee, it comes down to a common vision of education and a definite moral code by which students are expected to live. New Schools for a New Century suggests that school reform must happen from the outside, not from within. With such powerful insiders as the teachers' unions and local school boards fighting to maintain the status quo, it will take new ideas and determined advocates to affect real change. In examining some of these new ideas, New Changes for a New Century opens up some compelling, if uncomfortable, questions about the state of education today--and in the future.

In this book, distinguished scholars discuss recent controversial innovations - charter schools, contracting arrangements, and choice - designed to liberate educators from burdensome bureaucratic controls and raise the level of opportunity for all children. The authors focus on the problems in cities, where far too many children have been denied access to quality institutions. Various essays explore the lessons to be learned from Catholic schools, site-based management, and private entrepreneurs, as well as specific developments in three cities - New York, Milwaukee, and Chicago. The contributors, though realistic about the political and institutional obstacles that stand in the way of meaningful change, foresee the demise of the "one size fits all" approach to schooling. They envision a system of schools that is dynamic, diverse, performance-based, and accountable - one that is supportive of professionals, responsive to creativity, intolerant of failure, and committed to high educational standards for all children.
