Riassunto

Do you believe that all students have the potential to achieve more than they are achieving now? The Panasonic Foundation certainly does and it has developed a strategy for improving our educational system. This is a book about systemic school reform: The transformation of school systems in their entirety so that all children are able to reach their full potential and become productive, responsible members of society. Such change, however, requires a sustained commitment, effective teamwork and widespread participation by both parents and staff members throughout the school system. Learning by Doing uses the experiences of the Panasonic Foundation-a nonprofit educational reform group-to shed new light on our current educational system and suggest effective ways to improve and restructure our schools and school districts. Learning by Doing is an important book for all educational professionals. Teachers, administrators, school board members and others involved with school reform will find it useful for stimulating discussion and improving the level of student learning at their institutions. It presents innovative new ideas on education and learning, shows how to transform those ideas into practical use, and highlights the concrete benefits of nationwide educational reform.
