The Paideia Proposal

Résumé du livre

The Paideia Proposal is addressed to those Americans most concerned with the future of our public schools: parents, teachers, school boards, college educators, elected public officials, employers, minority groups, labor leaders, military leaders, and American citizens. The deep and legitimate concerns of these groups are addressed by our proposal for the reform of public schooling in America. The reform we seek is designed to improve the opportunities of our youth, the prospects of our economy, and the viability of our democratic institutions. It mut be achieved at the community level without resorting to a monolithic, national educational system. It must be, in Lincoln's words, of the people, by the people, and for the people. This K-12 educational reform plan developed as the result of a two year study by the Paideia Group.
