"This is the best book on public education I have read in decades."
–Seymour B. Sarason, Yale University
"Midst the welter of proposals for school reform, Kenneth Wilson’s boldly conceived and carefully argued vision deserves the widest attention."
–Howard Gardner, Harvard University
Combining Nobel-Prize winning physicist Kenneth G. Wilson’s experience in science, industry, and curriculum design with Bennett Daviss’s experience as a journalist specializing in education, Redesigning Education offers a powerful new paradigm for reforming our national education infrastructure. Covering past and present reform efforts, and analyzing both failed and successful programs, the authors include a chapter on Reading Recovery, which can play a crucial part in making teaching and learning more effective, even in the most difficult teaching situations.
