A clear roadmap for the new territory of education
Education in the U.S. has been under fire for quite some time, and for
good reason. The numbers alone tell a very disconcerting story:
according to various polls, 70% of teachers are disengaged. Add to that
the fact that the United States ranks last among industrialized nations
for college graduation levels, and it's evident there's a huge problem
that needs to be addressed. Yet the current education system and its
school buildings--with teachers standing in front of classrooms and
lecturing to students--have gone largely unchanged since the
19th century.
Humanizing the Education Machine tackles this tough issue head-on. It
describes how the education system has become ineffective by not
adapting to fit students' needs, learning styles, perspectives, and
lives at home. This book explains how schools can evolve to engage
students and involve parents. It serves to spread hope for reform and
equip parents, educators, administrators, and communities to:
- Analyze the pitfalls of the current U.S. education system
- Intelligently argue the need to reform the current landscape of
education
- Work to make a difference in the public education system
- Be an informed advocate for your child or local school system
If you're a concerned parent or professional looking for a trusted
resource on the need for education reform, look no further than
Humanizing the Education Machine. This illuminating resource provides
the information you need to become a full partner in the new
human-centered learning revolution.
