Roots of Reform: Challenging the Assumptions That Control Education Reform

by Terry A. Astuto, David L. Clark, Anne-Marie Read

In Roots of Reform, the authors argue that the education reform movement of the 1980s has produced disappointing and unsatisfactory results. The basic cause of the failure, they contend, is that the reform movement is rooted in assumptions that limit real change. The authors identify these assumptions and examine each in relation to a counter-assumption.
